- Digestive system
- 1) mouth- salivary amylase digest starch to maltose. ( produced by salivary glands)
- 2) oesophagus- made up of thick musuclar wall. transports the food down to stomach.
- 3) stomach produces enzymes which breaks down food. digest and stores food especially proteins. produces mucus to prevent it's own enzymes digesting it.
- 4) small intestine- made up of long muscular tube. food further digested by enzymes. Has villi=microvilli which increases effeciency of absorption of food into bloodstream.
- 5) pancreas- releases pancreatic juice. contains enzyme ( protease, amylase + lipase)
- 6) Large intestine- absorption of any water. Undigested material stored in rectum, removed by anus.
- Physical digestion + chemical digestion
- salivary amylase hydrolyse starch to maltose. This is prevented as it enters stomach due to HCl, small intestine= further digestion of strach to matlose by pancreatic amylase, small intestine's epithelial lining relases maltase which digest maltose to a glucose.
- Lactose intolerant
