Peristalsis - ANSWER The rate or rhythm in which the food moves through the muscles is known as
what?
Muscles - ANSWER Through the GI wall, the production of various contractions, relaxations, and
movements are all conducted through this portion of the GI wall?
Hint: "The orchestra that plays the music"
Nerves - ANSWER The component that controls the rate of contractions, coordinates the movement of
the food, as well as the muscle tone within the GI
Hint: "The conductor that CONDUCTS the orchestra"
Hydrochloric Acid - ANSWER This, along with appropriate buffers produce pH in the stomach necessary
for enzyme activity
Bile - ANSWER A substance that breaks up fat particles and is stored in the gallbladder
Mastication, Amylase, Lipase, Mucus - ANSWER The first step in mechanical digestion. The process of
chewing and disintegrating food
During chemical digestion, the enzyme that breaks down starch, an enzyme released by the von Ebner's
glands, as well as a slimy, lubricated medium to assist in swallowing are released here

produce this enzyme that splits proteins
Pendulum - ANSWER This kind of movement present in mechanical digestion of the small intestine stirs
the chyme
Segmentation - ANSWER This kind of movement present in mechanical digestion of the small intestine
chops the food into lumps
Longitudinal - ANSWER This kind of movement present in mechanical digestion of the small intestine
rolls the food in a spiral motion to expose it for absorption
Surface Villi - ANSWER Hairlike projectiles in the small intestine expose the nutrients for absorption by
