Learning Objectives : Understanding the

system of man
Learning outcome: A student is able to:
OESOPHAGUS
LIVER SHORTMO
GALLBLADDER
STOMACH
Digestive action :
Starch → maltose (sugar)
Peristalsis which is caused by the
muscles in the oesophagus push
the food into the stomach
The movement is supported by the
slippery mucus
1. The liver produces bile which is an alkaline and kept
in the gall bladder
- Bile will digest fat to tiny particles
- Maltose → glucose
- Peptone → amino acid
- Fat → fatty acid & glycerol
Stomach has gastric juice which consists
of some enzymes and hydrochloric acid.
The functions of hydrochloric acid are:
- It provides an acidic medium for the
enzymes e.g. renin and pepsin to digest
protein in food.
- It also kills microorganisms such as bacteria
which enters the stomach.
The half digested food will be sent to
duodenum for the next process.

Duodenum Bile Fat → tiny The result of this
(alkaline) Pancreatic particles process is the
produced amylase (A process increased of the
by the liver Protease which breaks surface area of fat
and kept in Lipase down the fat particles. This would
