What organ system acts upon substance contained in the alimentary canal?
The digestive system acts upon substances contained in the alimentary canal. This system includes organs such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, which work together to digest and absorb nutrients from food.
Which organelle acts as garbage disposal system in the cell?
The lysosome is the organelle that acts as the garbage disposal system in the cell. It contains enzymes that break down cellular waste and unwanted materials for recycling or elimination.
What enzyme turns fats to fatty acids?
Lipase acts on fats by breaking the ester bonds between fatty acids and glycerol. In the human digestive system, pancreatic lipase along with bile reduce fat to small droplets and separates the glycerol from the fatty acids.
What is the function of a lysosome in a cell?
A lysosome is an organelle in a cell that acts as the "garbage disposal" by breaking down and recycling waste materials, old cell parts, and foreign substances.
Is trachea part of the respiratory system?
Yes, but they're not identical. The mucus lining the respiratory system is used as a dirt (well, dust) trap. The mucus lining the digestive system acts as a barrier to the digestive juices (so that you don't try to digest yourself [see 'ulcers' as example of failure]).

What cell part acts like a stomach breaking down material?
Materials are broken down by lysosmes. They are the recycle bin
What act like a mixer in your digestive system?
I believe it is your stomach that acts like a mixer because it breaks food down.
What is the role of pharynx in digestion?
The pharynx acts as a passageway for both air and food. (Plays a very key role in the digestive system)

What's are the defenses such as your skin rest of the Tory system digestive system and circulatory system called?
The defenses of the body, including the skin, immune system, digestive system, and circulatory system, are collectively referred to as the "immune system" or "defense systems." The skin acts as a physical barrier, while the immune system provides a complex network of cells and proteins that identify and eliminate pathogens. The digestive system also plays a role by using enzymes and acids to neutralize harmful microorganisms, and the circulatory system helps transport immune cells throughout the body. Together, these systems work in concert to protect the body from infections and diseases.
Is the epiglottis a organ?
The epiglottis is not considered an organ; it is a flap of tissue that sits at the base of the tongue and acts as a lid to cover the trachea during swallowing to prevent food or liquid from entering the airway. It is part of the respiratory system.
