DIGESTION WORKSHEET

Table 5: Digestion Worksheet

Organ Associated Chemical Digestion Mechanical Other Secretions
Glands (Enzyme Action) Digestion

Mouth salivary glands salivary amylase breaks starch into teeth and tongue sodium bicarbonate,
maltose mucin and water

HCI kills bacteria, breaks
down cellulose, lowers
pH for pepsin

gastric glands pepsin breaks proteins into shorter peristalsis 3 times a water
and pyloric polypeptides
Stomach glands minute mucus protects stomach

gastrin is a hormone that
controls the release of
gastric juice

liver and gall none
bladder

proteases (trypsin and chymotrypsin)
further break down polypeptides from
the stomach into shorter polypeptides

erepsins break down simple

pancreas polypeptides into amino acids bile emulsifes lipids and

lipase breaks down fats into fatty acid peristalsis occurs neutralizes chyme
and glycerol regularly to mix food sodium bicarbonate

Small Intestine pancreatic amylase breaks down and enzymes and so neutralizes chyme
starch into maltose push food against the

intestinal wall for mucus lubricates food

absorption mass and protects the

peptidases break simpler polypeptides digestive tube from

into amino acids enzymes

intestinal glands lipase breaks down fats into fatty
acids and glycerol

maltase breaks maltose into simple
sugars, sucrase breaks

sucrose into simple sugars and lactase
breaks lactose into simple sugars

Large Intestine mucus glands none none, any muscular mucus to lubricate
action is for the passageway
movement of food

water is reabsorbed
