breaks down carbohydrates in the mouth
3

4
this canal includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small/large intestines, colon, rectum, and anus.
5
a carbohydrate that cannot be digested by humans
6
this form of digestion includes chewing, peristalsis, and segmentation.
7
the phase of gastric secretion that is excited by sensory stimulation
8
this sphincter controls the emptying of the stomach.
9
you do this to initiate propulsion into the digestive system
13
the type of tooth that’s function is to cut or slice food
14
a layer of microbes that coats our mouths and acts as a line of defense
15
a blood system that passes through 2 capillary beds to maximize absorption

17
this pushes food to the back of the throat as the upper esophageal sphincter relaxes.
19
is involved in the breakdown of protein and is stored in Chief cells
20
this can happen if the stomach acid eats through the stomach lining.
22
this is a secretory organ that functions as a filter and removes red blood cells, which eventually forms bilirubin.
23
this law of diffusion has permeated all systems discussed thus far and is applicable when talking about the wall of the small intestine.
24
these are absorbed into lacteals instead of capillaries after being broken down.
25
inhibits gastric reflux by neutralizing stomach acid rather than preventing it.
26
substance secreted by the liver
27
True or False: Molars are used for grinding
28
acidic component of the stomach
