Study Notes
Digestive Enzymes and Organs
- The salivary gland secretes the digestive enzymes amylase and lingual lipase.
- The pancreas produces a number of enzymes involved in the intestinal phase of digestion.
Phases of Digestion
- The mechanical breakdown of food by chewing occurs during the cephalic phase of digestion.
- The gastric phase of digestion primarily takes place in the stomach.
- The mixing of partially digested food with enzymes produced by the pancreas occurs during the intestinal phase of digestion.
Digestive System Components
- The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine where the food passes after leaving the stomach.
- The primary role of the gallbladder in the human digestive system is to store bile.
Digestive Processes
- Amylase is responsible for the chemical breakdown of food in the mouth during the cephalic phase of digestion.
- The primary function of gastric acid during the gastric phase of digestion is to break down proteins and activate digestive enzymes.
