The Liver, The pancreas, and the gallbladder.
Does the saliva secrete digestive juices?
no
Glands located within the digestive tube include?
Examples of glands located within the digestive tube include the salivary glands, which secrete saliva in the mouth; gastric glands, found in the stomach and produce gastric juices; and the pancreas, which secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine.
Name five organs that secrete digestive juices?
Salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, liver( via the gallbladder), and small intestine.
How can you simulate gastric juices?
The stomach lining contains three types of glands. The pyloric glands, the cardiac gastric glands, secrete mucus that covers the stomach lining and protects it from being digested. The intermediate gastric glands secrete gastric juices that has a pH of 1.5 to 2.5. this pH is do to its high concentration of hydrochloric acid, which kills most bacteria that are swallowed in food. Gastric juices also contains digestive enzyme pepsin. Pepsin is secreted in an inactive form called pepsinogen, which is activated after it is mixed with the hydrochloricacid. Pepsin breaks down large protein molecules into shorter chains of amino acids called polypeptides.
Do glands in the stomach produce the first digestive juices used in the digestive process?
The first digestive juices are those produced in saliva that is excreted into the mouth.
What is the difference between digestive glands and endocrine glands?
Basically a digestive enzyme helps to break down the food whether it is in the mouth (I forget the enzyme present in saliva) or in the intestine, Digestive hormones serve to regulate digestion for example the pH in the stomach is regulated by Gastrin. I'm guessing that you goto the University of Sydney because I have this very same question in an assignment
Why are the salivary glands pancreas liver and gall bladder consider accessory glands of the digestive system?
They are considered accessory glands of the digestive system because they only send digestive juices and acids to the main digestive organs. Food does not actually enter any of the accessory organs.
What is the function of a grasshopper's gastric pouches?
THE GASTRIC CAECA ARE SMALL SAC-LIKE APPENDAGES THAT NORMALLY CONTAIN GASTRIC JUICES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE DIGESTION OF FOOD IN THE MID GUT.
Which hormones stimulate gastric juice secretion?
You have the glands in the wall of stomach. You have the cells that secrete the mucus. You have the chief cells that secrete the precursor of the enzyme pepsin. This precursor is called as pepsinogen. Then you have the parietal cells that produce the hydrochloric acid. You have the hormones that induce the production of the gastric juice, when food enters the stomach. The same is controlled through the autonomic nervous system also. Like when you see or smell the food.
What gastric juice contains?
The stomach contains gastric juices for chemical digestion.
