How does Esophagus function with trachia?
Okay if I get what you are saying, there is a little flap called the epiglottis that switches between covering the esophagus and trachia. When you are eating food this flap covers the trachia so you don't get food in your lungs (that would be very bad) and when you're just breathing normally the epiglottis covers your esophagus so you can actually breath. I you think you have a problem with your epiglottis then go to the doctor immediately. Hoped this answered your question. If not well you just learned something new today! ^_^

Trypsin is produced in the Duodenum . The enzyme trypsin is a serine protease which is active at a pH of 8 and at a temp optima of 37 degrees. The pH of the duodenum is around 6-6.5 which is not enough for the kinetic activation of the enzyme. Hence it is inactive in its production site wheras the condition is just optimum for its action in the pancreas.
The enzymes that are in the stomach are what causes polymeric macromolecules to break down into smaller pieces so that the body can use them. These are found within the digestive tract of humans and other animals.

Are there any uses for the appendix?
Researchers in the United States say the appendix produces and protects good germs for the gut by "rebooting" the digestive system.
The team of immunologists at Duke University Medical Center say the human digestive system contains massive amounts of bacteria most of which are good and help the digestion of food.
However the researchers say sometimes the bacteria die off or are purged from the intestines as in diseases such as cholera or dysentery.
According to the researchers, the appendix's job is to "reboot" the digestive system when that happens with the bacteria safely harbored in the appendix.

Why can your bodies hydrolyze glycogen and not cellulose?
Humans have enzymes called -amylase in saliva and pancreatic juices that hydrolyze the -1,4-glycosidic bonds of starches, but not the -1,4-glycosidic bonds of cellulose. Thus, humans cannot digest cellulose. Animals such as horses, cows, and goats can obtain glucose from cellulose because their digestive systems contain bacteria that provide enzymes such as cellulase to hydrolyze -1,4-glycosidic bonds
What are the protein hydrolyzing enzymes in the digestive tract?
pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase
What is the rhymic contraction of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract called?
The rhythmic contractions of tubular organs, such as the esophagus or intestine, are called peristaltic waves. These waves propel the food material forwards. They are automatic due to local nerve plexus. The peristaltic waves increase in rhythm and force due to stimulation by the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system, and decrease due to stimulation by the sympathetic autonomic nervous system.
