4 Two Types of Digestion: Mechanical Digestion food is physically broken down into smaller pieces Mouth Click on the circle to reveal an example of a body part that performs this type of digestion. Chemical Digestion chemicals produced by the body that breaks food into smaller chemical building blocks Stomach Liver Major Organs: Mouth Epiglottis Esophagus Liver Stomach Pancreas Large Intestine Small Intestine 4

5 Digestive System.notebook Mouth Place where digestion begins Teeth break off, chew, and grind food Mixes food with saliva to begin dissolving food and make it easier for food to move Epiglottis Flap of cartilage located behind the tongue Closes off the trachea so food does not enter the lungs 5

Microscopic finger like projections Method by which nutrients can be absorbed into the body Capillaries of villa absorb glucose, amino acids, fats and minerals Liver Located in the upper portion of the abdomen Heaviest organ in the body Produces and secretes bile, which breaks down fat particles. Breaks down medicine, other substances, and eliminates nitrogen Glucose and amino acids are stored in the liver before being carried to all parts of the body Removes harmful substances from the blood 7
