    • Vitamins help regulate processes
    • Minerals are inorganic compounds needed in
    small amounts
    – Calcium in bones, iron in hemoglobin
    Digestion
     Break down large
    molecules into smaller
    Pharynx
    Mouth molecules which can
    Salivary
    be used by cells
    Esophagus
    Glands  Physical and chemical
     Alimentary Canal –
    one way tube which
    Liver Stomach
    Gallbladder Pancreas food passes through
    (behind the liver) (behind stomach)
    the body
    Large Intestine
    Small  Accessory
    Intestine
    Rectum structures do not
    carry food, but aid in
    digestion
    Components

    • Stomach
    • Small Intestine
    • Large Intestine
    • Gall bladder
    • Liver
    • Pancreas
    Mouth
    • Mechanical digestion
    – Teeth crush food
    • Saliva moistens food
    and contains salivary
    amylase
    – Starch into simpler
    sugar
    – Chemical digestion
    Esophagus
