digestion starts in your mouth it is called cephalic phase. Almost all animals have a tube-type digestive system in which food enters the mouth, passes through a long tube, and exits as feces (poop) through the anus. The smooth muscle in the walls of the tube-shaped digestive organs rhythmically and efficiently moves the food through the system, where it is broken down into tiny absorbable atoms and molecules

Which catalyze the digestion of proteins in GIT?
what is protein digestion in the GIT &alimentary canal
Where in the alimentary canal does fat digestion take place?
small intestine
Where does the alimentary canal run from?
The alimentary canal runs from the mouth to the anus.
What is the beginning of alimentary canal?
The mouth is at the beginning of the alimentary canal (digestive tract). The teeth in the mouth cut, tear and grind food and the salivary glands add mucous to moisten the food plus there are also some enzymes that are made in the mouth that start digestion.
What must occur so food can pass though the wall of the alimentary canal?
For food to properly pass through the alimentary canal, digestion must first occur. The process of moving food through the alimentary canal is called propulsion.
Why is the alimentary canal so long?
The length of the alimentary canal allows for the slow and efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients. The long length also provides ample surface area for nutrient absorption to occur. Additionally, the presence of different sections in the alimentary canal enables various digestive processes to take place, contributing to overall digestive efficiency.
What is the difference between the alimentary canal and the accessory digestive organs?
The alimentary canal is the tube going from the mouth to the anus. The accessory organs are the organs located along that canal which produce enzymes to aid the digestion process.
What if the alimentary canal is absent?
The alimentary canal performs all the functions of preparing eaten food for absorption into your body, Without it, their would be no digestive system or digestion. Life would not be possible.
Where does maximum digestion of food takes place in vertebrate alimentary canal?
Maximum digestion takes place in duodenum .
What is the name of the secretion poured into the alimentary canal which contains no enzyme but helps in the digestion of fats?
bile
What pushes the digestion?
Food is pushed along the alimentary canal by peristalsis, alternating waves of contraction and relaxation in the smooth muscles lining the canal.
Is the pancreas part of the alimentary canal?
No, the pancreas is not part of the alimentary canal. The alimentary canal, also known as the digestive tract, includes organs such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The pancreas is an organ located near the small intestine that produces digestive enzymes and hormones to aid in digestion.
