Which organs secrete fluids into the small intestine?
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine to aid in digestion, while the liver produces bile which is released into the small intestine to help with the digestion of fats.
What is the organs that produces and secretes substance used by the body?
The liver is the main organ that produces and secretes substances used by the body, such as bile for digestion and proteins involved in blood clotting. Other organs that produce and secrete substances include the pancreas (insulin and digestive enzymes) and the adrenal glands (hormones like cortisol and adrenaline).
Contrast mechanical digestion with chemical digestion and give an example of each?
Physical digestion is, basically, "mashing." The food is ground up (by the teeth), mashed into a paste (by the stomach), and so forth. It's mixed with other foods in the process, but no new molecules are produced. Chemical digestion involves chemical reactions, and new molecules ARE produced. The action of enzymes in saliva, gastric juices, and so forth is a form of chemical digestion.
Why is it important for digestive system functions that mucous membranes can secrete and absorb substances?
The moucous membranes in your body protect certain organs, like the inside of your stomach, from various things. By being able to secrete and absorb substances, the organs these membranes are around are protected.
Does the parasympathetic nervous system play a role in increasing digestion?
Yes, the parasympathetic nervous system plays a significant role in increasing digestion by stimulating the release of digestive enzymes and increasing blood flow to the digestive organs.
Which Two organs that secrete enzymes to help the digestive tract?
There are actually three organs that secrete digestive substances into the small intestine to help digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats. These organs are: - the liver - the pancreas - the gallbladder
Which process in a human requires that enzymes be secreted into gastrointestinal tract?
Chemical digestion in humans requires enzymes to be secreted into the gastrointestinal tract. These enzymes are produced by the pancreas and stomach, among other organs.
How does the gastrovascular cavity work?
Food from the food pipe is sent into the gastrovascular cavity. The surrounding tissues secrete enzymes that bring about digestion. Nutrients are absorbed and sent to the other organs for utilization.
Which organs secrete fluids into the small intestine?
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine to aid in digestion, while the liver produces bile which is released into the small intestine to help with the digestion of fats.
Why are the pancreas and liver referred to as a accessory organ?
they are called accessory organs because they are not apart of the digestive tract but have a significant role in the digestive process
2 types of digestion are?
Mechanical Digestion (ex. chewing your food) and Chemical Digestion (ex. your spit breaking down the food). Those examples happen in the mouth, but both types happen elsewhere in the body, too.
Which organ speeds up the rate of chemical change?
There are five organs in our body that secrete digestive juices, which contain enzymes to speed up the rate of chemical change. These are the mouth, stomach, pancreas, liver and gall bladder.
What is chemical digestion aided by?
Chemical digestion is aided by digestive enzymes, which break down food molecules into smaller nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. These enzymes are produced by various organs in the digestive system, such as the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. They help to break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into simpler forms for absorption.
What two organs use both mechanical and chemical digestion?
Both the mouth and the stomach perform mechanical and chemical digestion.
Type of digestion that takes place in the mouth and stomach?
Both chemical and mechanical digestion take place in the mouth and stomach. The organs both break food into smaller parts, and use enzymes to break down food chemically.
What gland secrete chemical substances into the duct that lead either to other organs or out the body?
Exocrine glands
What is the organs that produces and secretes substance used by the body?
The liver is the main organ that produces and secretes substances used by the body, such as bile for digestion and proteins involved in blood clotting. Other organs that produce and secrete substances include the pancreas (insulin and digestive enzymes) and the adrenal glands (hormones like cortisol and adrenaline).
