Explanation:

Human Digestive System:

  • The process of digestion starts when the food is in the mouth.
  • Mouth releases saliva which brokes down food into sugar.
  • Through the oesophagus or the food pipe food flowed down to stomach.
  • In the stomach- the gastric juices containing HCl and pepsin get mixed to kill bacteria and break down protein.
    • Protein digestion starts here. 
      • Liver is the largest gland of the body and secretes bile juice. Bile juice is stored in the gall bladder and has a significant role in the digestion of fats.
      • Pancreas has enzymes that help in total digestion of all food components
      • The pancreatic juices contains three enzymes and helps in digestion of protein -
        1. Trypsin
        2. Amylase
        3. Lipase
  • The digestive tract and associated glands together constitute the digestive system.

From the above discussion, we now know the different parts of the digestive system.

  • Liver - Largest gland
  • Stomach - helps in the digestion of protein.
  • Gall bladder - Where bile juice is stored
  • Pancreas -  Releases digestive juice into the small intestine​

Additional Information

  • Protein digesting enzyme called pepsin is released in stomach. 
  • The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which contains enzymes like trypsin for digesting proteins and lipase for breaking down fats.
