    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.
