SMALL INTESTINE. Is a 22-foot long muscular tube that breaks down food using enzymes released by the pancreas and bile from the live.

PANCREAS. The pancreas is a long, flat gland that sits tucked behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. The pancreas produces enzymes that help digestion and hormones that help regulate the way your body processes sugar (glucose).

What Is Mechanical Digestion ?. Is a physical breaking down food substances into smaller particles to more efficiently undergo chemical digestion that occurs in the mouth..

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE DIGESTIVE ENZYMES AMYLASE, PROTEASE AND LPASE?.

What is the outcome of chemical digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats and where it occurs?.

VILLUS (villi). The villi are small finger-like projection about a millimeter in length that protrude from the circular folds. They cover the entire surface of the folds, each cell on the surface of the villus that is exposed to the lumen is lined with additional, even smaller villi, called microvilli. These structures are very tiny..
