As you may know, Homer Simpson loves his donuts. So lets help Homer understand how his donut is processed from beginning to end. To do this you will need to 1. summarize the digestive system by identifying the gastrointestinal tract organs and their functions as the donut moves along the track. To do this you will need to identify 2. the function of the mouth and what compounds are broken down in the mouth and how (describe the chemical digestion); 3. The function of the stomach, describe chyme, the role of the stomach in mechanical digestion, chemical digestion (how, describe the chemical digestion and enzymes), and absorption. Why is it necessary for the stomach contents to be so acidic? How does the stomach protect itself from digestion? State the cells that secrete hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and intrinsic factor and the functions of each secretion; 4. Explain how small intestine absorption is assisted by circular folds (plicae circulares), villi, and microvilli; and describe…
