Give the names of three organs in the human body that secrete the enzyme amylase?
* The mouth produces salivary amylase: breaks down carbohydrate (starch) * The stomach produces pepsin and trypsin, which are two types of proteases: break down proteins * The pancreas and small intestine also make protease and lipase: digests fats into fatty acids and gycerol.
What are the four organs that make digestive fluids?
esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
Which food goes from mouth to stomach?
It enters the duodenum, then jejunum, and then ileum of the small intestine. It is in the small intestine that nutrients are absorbed.
Where is digestive juices produced?
Digestive juices is produced in the stomach and small intestine. The mouth does not produce digestive juices, it is only saliva. The food will stay in the stomach for 2-5 hours and digestive juices are added to make it softer and then, the food travels to the small intestine where more digestive juices are added.
What type of organic compound is found in Amylase?
amylase has enzymes, but enzymes are not an organic compound. The four types of organic compounds would be lipids, nucleic acids carbohydrates and protein. Your body makes enzymes and amylase, and anything your body make is a protein. Therefore your answer is a protein.

What are 3 parts of the small intestine?
The small intestine is the part of the gastrointestinal tract between the stomach and large intestine. The three parts that make up the small intestine are the duodenum, the jejunum, and ileum.
What is broken down by stomach churning and enzyme amylase?
The stomach breaks down mainly proteins into smaller polypeptides. However, amylase will not break anything down in the stomach because it is denatured by the acid. Salivary amylase will break down amylose, a type of starch, but only in the few seconds of mastication. Once the bolus reaches the stomach, the salivary amylase is no longer active. Carbohydrates will be broken down again in the small intestine, where pancreatic amylase will make a return after the chyme is neutralized into a basic solution.
How make a small intestine?
Need scale and purpose to answer.
What are the four organs that make digestive fluids?
esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
What is the role of the small intestine in the digestive system of proteins and fats?
In the small intestine, the food you eat continues being digested, and then the nutrients and proteins your body needs make their way out of the small intestine and into the rest of your body. Then the matter that is left over passes through the small intestine into the large intestine...causing you to go to the restroom.

Where is the bile stored and secreted from?
The bile is secreted in the liver and then stored in the gall bladder. When the pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas, it gets mixed with the bile juice and some intestinal juice which helps in the digestion in the intestine.
What is the function of the amylase?
The function of amylase is to break starch (a polysaccharide) into maltose in the mouth and duodenum. Maltose is then made into glucose (a polysaccharide) using maltase in the duodenum only
Chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine by enzymes from intestinal - brush border cells and the?
These enzymes are anchored into the cells that make up the brush border as integral membrane proteins. These enzymes are found near the transporters that enable absorption of the digested nutrients.
Function of villi in small intestine?
The function of Villi is to 1.) make the the small intestine longer so food will take longer to digest 2.) make sure food is well digested 3.) to make sure the nutrients from the food are well absorbed.
Which organ that make digestive juices that are used in the small intestine?
The gall blader
