digestive juices through ducts into the
alimentary canal
Mammalian
accessory glands are

the salivary glands 3 pair glands
:
secreted into mouth
the pancreas : lots of

for food
the liver : makes bile

·
into small intestine
- the
gallbladder : releases bile
Oral Cavity
-food oral cavity
processing begins in
salivary glands lubricate food
-Saliva contains mucus :
viscous mix of water salts
,
B glycoslyted
-
proteins also contains
amylase
Amylase in saliva breaks down starch
by hydrolyzing bonds between starch

-tongue movements shape food into a bolus (ball) to help swallow
