- Digestion involves ingestion, chemical breakdown, absorption, and transport of food molecules.
- Enzymes aid in digestion by breaking down molecules into smaller components.
- The human digestive system consists of the alimentary canal and the pancreas.
- The pancreas secretes enzymes such as lipase, amylase, and trypsin.
- The small intestine has a pH of 7 and is crucial for digestion.
- Exocrine secretions include saliva, gastric juice, mucus, pancreatic juice, and bile.
- Saliva contains amylase, while gastric juice contains pepsin and HCl.
- The pancreas secretes a buffer to neutralize stomach acid.
- Bile helps emulsify lipids.
- All enzyme reactions during digestion are catabolic.
