Pepsin breaks apart proteins to form smaller particles called peptides. Peptides are more easily digestible by the smaller intestine
What else can I help you with?
What is the primary site of the intracellular digestion?
The primary site of intracellular digestion are the lysosomes.
Primary region of the enzymatic digestion?
lesser omentum
What are the primary functions of the small intestine?
Digestion and absorption.
What The primary function of the small intestine?
Digestion and absorption.
What is the primary area of the body for digestion of foodstuffs?
Stomach
Where does fat digestion begins in the mouth?
Fat digestion begins in the mouth with the action of lingual lipase, an enzyme secreted by the salivary glands. Although the primary role of the mouth is mechanical digestion through chewing, lingual lipase initiates the breakdown of triglycerides into diglycerides and free fatty acids. However, significant fat digestion occurs later in the stomach and small intestine.
Is lesser omentum the primary region of enzymatic digestion?
Yes
What role does the esophagus play in the digestion system?
it sends broken down food to the stomach for digestion
Is your esophagus mechanical or chemical digestion?
The esophagus primarily functions in mechanical digestion as it transports food from the mouth to the stomach through a series of muscular contractions known as peristalsis. While there is minimal chemical digestion occurring due to the presence of saliva, the primary role of the esophagus is to facilitate the swallowing process rather than to break down food chemically.
What is the primary region of enzymatic digestion?
The Small Intestine.

What is the role of Ptyalin in digestion?
it digests starch into maltose
