    down the food. Amylase in saliva breaks down the starch

    Has a muscular wall which pushes the food bolus along by


    Oesophagus
    a process called peristalsis.

    Has a thick muscular wall and a mucus lining. It contains


    Stomach acid which kills bacteria and enzymes which digest fats
    (lipids) and proteins.

    This helps break down fats by producing bile and


    Liver
    emulsifying fat (breaks it down)

    Gall bladder Stores bile made by the liver

    This produces 2 hormones, insulin and glucagon, which


    Pancreas helps to control blood sugar levels. It is also adapted for
    diffusion.

    The main site of absorption of nutrients into the


    Small intestine
    bloodstream.

    Large intestine The main site for the removal of water to produce faeces
