Digestive System

cystic duct and the hepatic duct

Nausea. or being nauseous, is the name for feeling an urge to vomit.

The mouth itself doesn't actually digest anything. Instead, salivary amylase released by the salivary glands is released into the oral cavity to break down starches.

The same is true for the intestine where pancreatic amylase from the pancreas is used to break complex sugars into small disaccharides which are ultimately broken into monosaccharides by disacharidase.

The liver, pancreas, and salivary glands. (more added by 99silvermoon99) The three glands associated with the digestive system are the liver (secretes the bile stored in the gall bladder), the pancreas (secretes pancreatic juice, which produce enzymes that contribute to the breakdown of all categories of foodstuffs) and the salivary glands in the oral cavity (secretes saliva which: 1. cleanses the mouth, 2. dissolves food chemicals so they can be tasted, 3. moistens food and aids in compacting it into a bolus, 4. contains enzymes that begin the chemical breakdown of starchy foods.). edited by Jane_says123 on 6/3/09

The pancreas secretes insulin which helps regulate blood glucose levels and it also secretes digestive enzymes such as glucagon that assist in breaking down fat, carbohydrate and protein.

Food enters mouth, as it is chewed, enzymes in the saliva begins to break it down. It is swallowed

Because the contents of it is not injested

its possible. removing your appendix doesn't enable you to do anything; you can only get it removed if its acting up or making you sick. but you need to ask your doctor and get parents permission BLAH BLAH BLAH

taking it to stomach

food goes down the esophagus into the stomach with digestive acids and the through the small intestines so food can be absorbed then to the large intestine so water can be absorbed the left overs is what your body didn't use.

Yes, fingernails come from our human body. Our fingernails are made of the same material known as keratin, which is in animal hooves and horns. Now if these animal hooves or horns are eaten, they are digested. So yes, our fingernails are easily digestible.

Food material absorbed by the digestive tract and collected by capillaries of the blood stream are emptied into the hepatic portal vein. From there the liver removes excesses either store or are metabolized and excreted.

The liver secretes bile, which is stored in the gall bladder between meals. During digestion, bile is excreted along the bile duct (from the gall bladder) and the hepatic duct (from the liver) into the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Bile is an aqueous mixture containing several substances, including bicarbonate ions to neutralize the acidic chyme arriving from the stomach, and bile salts to emulsify fats in the first stage of their breakdown. Whilst not directly related to digestion, the liver also stores some fat and water-soluble vitamins, and some minerals, and detoxifies certain drugs & pesticides which may have been taken in as part of the diet. Blood sugar levels rise after a meal, & the liver aids homeostasis by storing excess glucose as glycogen.

the digestion of proteins begin in the stomach.

When someone with celiac disease eats foods containing gluten, that person's immune system causes an inflammatory response in the small intestine, which damages the tissues and results in impaired ability to absorb nutrients from foods.

they both transport things through out the body the respiratory system transports oxygen and carbon dioxide through out the body, and the digestive system transports food and nutrients through the body.

First, food is softened in your mouth by chewing.Once swallowed it is attacked by acids in your stomach and intestines until it is so broken down that the chemical can pass through the walls of the tube into the blood or lymph system.Finally, what ever the body cannot digest is excreted as feces.

Type your answer here... mouth, esophagus, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus

The digestive tract is called alimentary canal because its parts form a long tube through which we absorb the nutrition in our food. The word "alimentary" comes from the Latin word for nourishment, alimentum.

Carbohydrates:

Salivary amylase - enzyme in the saliva which breaks starch and complex chains down.

Pancreatic amylase - enzyme produced in the pancreas which reduces carbs to disaccharides.

Intestinal amylase - enzyme produced in the intestine of the small intestine that finalises breakdown into glucose.

Protein:

Pepsin - enzyme in the stomach that reduces protein into polypeptides

Pancreatic trypsin and protease - enzymes that finalises breakdown of polypeptides into amino acids to be absorbed.

Lipids (Fats):

Bile - NOT an enzyme - produced in the liver to emulsify (break into smaller pieces) fat into smaller droplets

Pancreatic lipase - enzyme that finalises breakdown of fat into fatty acids and glycerol.

Bile salts do not digest fats. They cause the fats to become smaller and that increases the surface area so that enzymes in the digestive tract can act quickly.
