Follow a morsel of food from the time it passes your lipsto when it gets to the anus. Name all structures and partsof structures it goes through, including sphincters,valves, regions of an organ (example: hepatic flexure ofthe colon).

Solution

Mouth- chews and blended food with saliva.

Pharynx- Directs meals from mouth to esophagus.

Salivary glands- secrete saliva.

Epiglottis - Protects airways during swallowing.

Trachea- Allows air to bypass to and from lungs.


Esophagus- Passes meals from the mouth to the stomach.

Esophageal sphincters- Allow the passage from mouth to esophagus and from esophagus to belly, prevent lower back float from belly to esophagus and from esophagus to mouth.

Diaphram- Separates the stomach from the thoracic activity.

Stomach- churns, mixes, and grinds food to a liquid mass; adds acid, enzymes, and fluid.

pyloric sphincter: Allows passage from stomach to small intestine; prevents returned flow from small gut.

Liver- Manufactures bile salts, detergent-like materials, to assist digest fat.

Gallbladder- Stores bile .

Bile Duct- Conducts bile from the gallbladder to the small gut.

Appendix- micro organism and lymph cells are present here.

Small intestine- Secretes enzymes that digest all energy- yielding vitamins to smaller nutrient particles; cells of wall soak up vitamins into blood and lymph.

llececal valve (sphincter) - Allows passage from small to large gut; prevents returning of food with the flow from large intestine .

Pancreas- manufactures enzymes to digest all energy -yielding nutrients and releases bicarbonate to neutralize acid chyme that enters the small gut

Pancreatic duct- Conducts pancreatic juice from the pancreas to the small gut.

Hepatic flexure: part of the colon in which the liver touches the large intestine within the upper stomach,
The hepatic flexure is also referred to as the right colic flexure. The colon gets rid of salt, water and nutrients earlier than forming stool with remnants from the small intestines. Bacteria line the colon to assist the body remove waste substances. The large intestine has several muscle tissues alongside its partitions to transport stool along earlier than it reaches the rectum,

Large intestine- Absorbs water and minerals; passes waste along side water to rectum.

Rectum - Stores water previous to removal.

anus- holds rectum closed; opens to allow removal
