Physics)
A vestigial organ in humans (no longer serves a clear function) that may have been
involved in the digestion of bone at the dead-end segment of the large intestine called
the cecum. - ANS Appendix
\Absorbs nutrients and continues chemical digestion of food. It is made of three
segments, the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. - ANS Small intestine
\Allows water to be absorbed and stores the indigestible portions of the food. Made up of
three segments, the ascending, transverse, and descending colon and a dead end called
the cecum. - ANS Large intestine
\As you inhale, air moves through the following parts of the respiratory system, in this
order: - ANS nose and mouth
pharynx
larynx
trachea
bronchi
bronchioles
alveoli
capillaries
\Indigestible waste is excreted through the ____ and out of the body. - ANS Anus
\Long hollow tube that uses wave-like contractions to push food towards the stomach. -
ANS Esophagus
\Muscular back part of the throat that helps push the food towards the esophagus. - ANS
Pharynx
\Muscular bag that continues the mechanical and chemical digestion of food. - ANS
Stomach
\Muscular structure that moves food toward the teeth and moulds chewed and lubricated
food into an easily swallowed shape called a bolus. - ANS Tongue
\Point of entry for food. Contains saliva, teeth, and tongue which begin the mechanical
and chemical digestion of food. - ANS Oral cavity
\Produce saliva in the mouth which lubricates the food and contains enzymes that begin
the chemical breakdown of food. - ANS salivary glands
\Produces enzymes found in bile to help break down fats. - ANS Liver
\Releases enzymes into the small intestine to aid with digestion. - ANS Pancreas
\Stores bile to be secreted into the small intestine. - ANS Gallbladder
\Stores indigestible waste before it is excreted. - ANS Rectum
\the force that propels food down the digestive tract - ANS Peristalsis
