Esophagus
Approximately 20 cm long.
Functions include:
1. Secrete mucus
2. Moves food from the throat to
the stomach using muscle
movement called peristalsis
If acid from the stomach gets in

Stomach
J-shaped muscular bag that stores the food
you eat, breaks it down into tiny pieces.
Mixes food with Digestive Juices that contain
enzymes to break down Proteins and Lipids.
Acid (HCl) in the stomach Kills Bacteria.
Food found in the stomach is called Chyme.

Small Intestine
Small intestines are roughly 7 meters long
Lining of intestine walls has finger-like
projections called villi, to increase surface
area.
The villi are covered in microvilli which
further increases surface area for
absorption.
Absorbs:
80% ingested water
Vitamins
Minerals
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Lipids

Gall Bladder
Stores bile from the
liver, releases it into the
small intestine.
Pancreas
Produces digestive
enzymes to digest fats,
carbohydrates and
proteins
Regulates blood sugar
by producing insulin
Great Job!
