|
Where food is held for mechanical digestion

|
|
Tongue
|
|
Responsible for mechanical digestion to increase surface area of food
|
|
Teeth
|
|
Produces water, mucus, amylase and bicarbonates
|
|

|
|
Lifts to block nasal passage during swallowing
|
|
Soft Palate
|

|
2nd part of small intestine, absorbs nutrients using villi
|
|
Jejunum
|
|

|
|
Large Intestine
|
|
Last part of large intestine where feces is stored
