    The document summarizes the key parts and functions of the human digestive system. It describes the process of digestion beginning with chewing food in the mouth where saliva is produced. Food then travels to the stomach where gastric juices contain enzymes to partially digest proteins. The small intestine further breaks down food using digestive enzymes before waste is passed through the large intestine and anus. Accessory organs like the liver, gallbladder and pancreas produce bile and enzymes to aid digestion.

     is the process wherein food is
    changed into smaller sizes.

    SALIVA
     is the secretion of salivary
    glands, present in the mouth

    GASTRIC JUICE
     contains certain enzymes which
    partially digest a protein component of
    the food particles and makes the food
    acidic.
    DIGESTIVE
    ENZYMES
    • are a group of enzymes that
    break down polymeric
    macromolecules into their
    smaller building blocks, in
    order to facilitate their
    absorption into the cells of the
    body
    MOUTH
     An anterior
    opening of
    human digestive
    system.
    ANUS
    Is the posterior opening or is the end of your

    its journey through your digestive tract and
    makes its exit.
    ALIMENTARY TRACT
     consists of a long continuous tube that extends from
    the mouth to the anus. It includes the mouth, pharynx,
    esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large
    intestine. The tongue and teeth are accessory
    structures located in the mouth.
    MOUTH LIPS > the edge of a
    hollow container or an
    opening.
    TEETH

    taste food.

    FLOOR OF MOUTH
    SUBLINGUAL GLAND
    > separating the tongue from
    the mandible, which is > contribute to the
    necessary for tongue mobility production of saliva, which
    and a major consideration in helps to lubricate the oral
    oral cavity reconstruction. cavity and aids in the
    chemical digestion of food.
    EPIGLOTTIS > is usually upright at
    rest allowing air to pass into the
    larynx and lungs.

    TRACHEA > Food travels through the


    esophagus to the stomach.

    PHARYNX
    > commonly called the throat, is a
    passageway that extends from the
    base of the skull to the level of the
    sixth cervical vertebra.
    ESOPHAGUS
    > is a muscular tube that connects
    the pharynx (throat) to the
    stomach
    PERISTALSIS
    > is a muscular tube that
    connects the pharynx (throat)
    to the stomach
    STOMACH
    > is the pear-shaped organ that is connected to
    the distal end of esophagus

    SMALL INTESTINE
     is a long, coiled tube that fills the abdomen.
     This is the organ that the final products of the
    digestive process are absorbed for
    transportation to the different parts of the body.

    RECTUM
    > serves as a warehouse for the undigested
    residue or feces.
    LARGE INTESTINE
     Also called as colon.
     It temporary stores undigested residue or
    feces.

    CAECUM
     The ascending colon has a blind corner.
     That bears the worm-like appendix

    BILE
    > Is stored and concentrated in the
    gall bladder. PANCREAS
    > Is the large, elongated, and
    yellowish gland that lies posterior
