Digestive System Diagram

Quick Revise

The digestive process is as follows:

1. Chemical Digestion starts in the mouth through enzymes and saliva. The food is then moved to the stomach

2. The Small Intestine receives the food next and produces protease and lipase, food is absorbed into blood, large surface area by villi

3. Large Intestine (Colon) is where indigestible food is passed to. Any excess water is absorbed before it is excreted from the anus.

Digestive System 

The following also play a part in the process

- The Stomach produces protease, HCl and pummels food with muscular walls

- The Gall Bladder stores bile after its been made by the liver

- The Pancreas produces enzymes: carbohydrase, lipase, protease
