Which organ releases digestive enzymes into the small intestine?
pancreas
small intestine
liver
salivary glands
What organ is responsible for the majority of the absorption that occurs in the digestive system?
large intestine
small intestine
stomach
pancreas
What accomplishes most of the mechanical digestion of fats in the small intestine?
pancreatic enzymes
bile
churning
saliva
The small intestine is the longest of the digestive organs. What benefit to the body is it that it is so long?
It allows the organ to secrete bile which in turn breaks down food
It allows more time for the food to be in the organ which allows more absoption to take place.
It provides more surface area for mucus which helps digested food move more smoothly.
The teeth and tongue of the oral cavity break foodstuff down physically. This is an example of
mechanical digestion
chemical digestion
absorption
peristalsis
What is the function of the oesophagus?
moves food by using peristalsis
digesting protein
chemically digests fats and absorbs some vitamins
Absorption of proteins and alcohol
Which of the following is an accessory organ of the digestive system?
stomach
small intestine
oesophagus

liver
gallbladder
pancreas
stomach
Which organ makes bile?
liver
gallbladder
pancreas
stomach

If you are dehydrated (low water potential in the blood), the body must conserve water. To do so, the brain triggers the pituitary gland to ...
release MORE ADH, making the collecting duct MORE permeable
release LESS ADH, making the collecting duct LESS permeable
release MORE ADH, making the collecting duct LESS permeable
release LESS ADH, making the collecting duct MORE permeable
