Whose mucosa secretes the potent gastric juice in the stomach, the food is stirred until becoming

A tube around 6 or 7 meters long 

Located between the pylorus and ileocaecal valve,which separates it from the large intestine 

Here chyme comes into contact with digestive juices secreted by the liver and pancreas 

Divided into 3 parts 

   Duodenum:1st section,u-shaped,around 25 cm long 

   Jejunum:2nd and longest section

   Ileum:final section,leads to large intestine 

THE LIVER

Large organ in the top-right of the abdomen 

Reddish brown color because it contains blood 

Produces bile which enters the duodenum 

Also Carrie's out non-digestive functions,such as destroying toxins 

Bile:

   Is stored in the gallbladder and only released when food enters in the           intestine

   Doesn't contain digestive enzymes 

   Contains bile salts,which help to digest fats by emulsifying them

THE PANCREAS

Long,greyish-white organ behind and underneath the Stomach

Functions:

   Produces hormones (insulin and glucagon) that regulate the amount of 

   glucose in the bloodstream 

   Secretes pancreatic juice which contains digestive enzymes and sodium

    carbonate
