Ingestion

Mouth- chews and mixed food with saliva

Pharynx- Directs food from mouth to esophagus

Salivary glands- secrete saliva

Epiglottis - Protects airways during swallowing

Trachea- let the air to pass to and from lungs

Esophagus-  Pass through the  food from the mouth then to the stomach

Esophageal sphincters- let the pass way from mouth to esophagus and from esophagus to stomach, to avoid back flow from stomach to esophagus and from esophagus to mouth.

Diaphram- Segregate the abdomen from the thoracic activity

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

pyloric sphincter: Allows passage from stomach to small intestine; prevents back flow from small intestine

Liver- detergent-like substances, to help digest fats and Manufactures bile salts,

Gallbladder- stock bile until needed

Bile Duct- Conducts bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine

Appendix- House bacteria and lymph cells

Small intestine- Secretes enzymes that digest all energy- yielding nutrients to smaller nutrient particles; cells of wall absorb nutrients into blood and lymph

llececal valve (sphincter) – is the  pass way  from small to large intestine; to avoid back flow from large intestine

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

Pancreatic duct- secretes pancreatic juice from the pancreas to the small intestine

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

Rectum – Stocks  water prior to elimination

anus-  opens to allow elimination, holds rectum closed.
