1.) The food you eat is softened by enzymes in your saliva. Your teeth chew and grind the food. Your tongue is used to toss the food.\n2.) The food goes down the trachea. It enters the stomach. The stomach contains an acid called hydocloric acid. This acid can burn a whole through a carpet. It is used to digest food.\n3.) The bile in the liver helps remove any harmful particles from the food. The liver also stores some of the food.\n4.) The food goes through the intestines. The pancreas releases pancreatic juice into the small intestine to further digest the food.\n5.) Some of this food is used for energy and carried to cells through capilaries. The "not needed" part of the food goes through the exit of your body. You secrete this as solid waste called feces. \n_________________________________\nHope this helps! :) :) :) :)

1.Hydrolyzes proteins via pepsin (a protease). \n2.Kills pathogens by dousing them with hydrochloric acid. 3.Stores food during digestion. \n4.Mechanically digests foods a little bit by churning the acid chyme.

Roughage material containing fibre... mostly in salad veggies like cucumber. Helps in bowel movement and consequently in digestion.\n\n10 points pretty please!!!

* Cardiovascular system: blood circulations with heart and blood vessels\n    * Digestive system: processing food with mouth, stomach and intestines\n    * Endocrine system: communicating within the body using hormones\n    * Immune system: defending against disease-causing agents\n    * Integumentary system: skin, hair and nails\n    * Lymphatic system: structures involved in the transfer of lymph between tissues and the bloodstream\n    * Muscular system: moving the body\n    * Nervous system: collecting, transferring and processing information with brain and nerves\n    * Reproductive system: the sex organs\n    * Respiratory system: the organs used for breathing, the lungs\n    * Skeletal system: structural support and protection through bones\n    * Urinary system: the kidneys and associated structures involved in the production and excretion of urine

Neither is more important.  Without both systems, the body would not be able to function, so both are equally important.  And the word you are looking for is exocrine, although the exocrine pancreas is the part of the pancreas that deals with digestion.  The real question is between the exocrine pancreas and the endocrine pancreas.  If you had to pick one, I would say exocrine is more important, but they are both absolutely vital.

A quick trip to Yahoo! Reference revealed that the pancreas is a small, irregularly shaped organ that resides between your stomach and your spine. The pancreas has two primary purposes: to secrete enzymes into your digestive system that help break down carbohydrates and protein, and to produce hormones that help maintain normal blood sugar levels. \nThe pancreas is technically part of the endocrine system, though it plays an important role in the digestive system as well. The endocrine system is a collection of glands, including your pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands, that secrete hormones to monitor your metabolism and cell growth, among many other things.

1.- cleanses your system, your kidneys, that's why\nyou urinate.\n\nYou take things in, through the nose by breathing, the mouth by eating, etcetera. Your body needs water and other fluids to process this through your kidneys and clean your body out.\n\n2.- moisturizes the tissues within your body, makes them function adequately. For example the immunological system. The cells and antibodies require to synapse, and this requires energy, one of which the carriers for is water.

You mean like a system? Digestive system is stomach, intestines, liver, etc. Immune system & others. Not 100% clear on what you want.

The gastric glands are of three kinds: (a) pyloric, (b) cardiac, and (c) fundus or oxyntic glands\n\n HCl used to break up large food items into smaller pieces by dissolving intercellular substances\n\n            also serves as immunological barrier and to activate gastric enzymes (e.g., pepsinogen to pepsin)\n\n      enzymatic digestion - enzymes used to cleave specific molecules\n\n            enzymes produced by salivary glands, stomach, small intestine and pancreas \n\n      fermentation – occurs in colon and distal ileum\n\n            use of symbiotic microorganisms (bacteria and protozoans) which give off by-products useful to the host (e.g., vitamin K)

Throughout the whole digestion process, food will pass from your mouth to your stomach before finally being processed into waste and expelled from the rectum. You are right that there are two types of digestion that there are two types of digestion, mechanical and chemical. Mechanical include such action as the breaking down of food by chewing with your teeth that forms the food into a pulp and also throughout your whole digestive tract peristalsis helps through the contraction of your intestine, throat and stomach to help food pass through. Chemical digestion involves breaking down of food through chemical means like the amilayse enzyme from salive that coverts starch into maltose. Stomach acids, bile, lipase and various other chemicals secreted by the various organs also include chemical digestion.

The Pancreas is pretty darned important.  Without a properly functioning pancreas you get diabetes.\n\nThe pancreas is an organ in the digestive and endocrine system that serves two major functions: exocrine (producing pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes) and endocrine (producing several important hormones, including insulin)

It absorbs nutrients from your digested food.
