true
(T/F) Gastrin functions to increase the production of HCl in the stomach.
false
(T/F) Glucose, protein, glycerol, and long-chain fatty acids are absorbed from the small intestine directly into the bloodstream.

lower esophageal sphincter
(diagram 2) controls rate of flow of food from esophagus into stomach
pyloric sphincter
(diagram 2) controls rate of flow of food from stomach into small intestine
anal sphincter
(diagram 2) relaxation of this sphincter allows for solid waste elimination
ileocecal sphincter
(diagram 2) undigested food from small intestine passes into large intestine via this sphincter
rectum
(diagram 3) Digestive organ that: - hold feces and expel via the anus, which is the opening to the outside of the body
Esophagus
(diagram 3) Digestive organ that: - lubricate with mucus - move food to stomach by peristaltic waves (swallowing)
large intestine
(diagram 3) Digestive organ that: - mix and propel contents - absorb sodium, potassium, and water - house bacteria - lubricate with mucus - synthesize some vitamins and short-chain fatty acids - form feces
small intestine
(diagram 3) Digestive organ that: - mix and propel contents - lubricate with mucus - digest and absorb most substances using enzymes made by the pancreas and small intestinal cells (lactase, sucrase, malatase, and peptidases)
liver
(diagram 3) Digestive organ that: - produce bile to aid fat digestion and absorption
pancreas
(diagram 3) Digestive organ that: - secrete sodium bicarbonate and enzymes for digesting carbohydrate (amylase), fat (lipase), and protein (trypsin and chymotrypsin)
gallbladder
(diagram 3) Digestive organ that: - store, concentrate, and later release bile into the small intestine
stomach
(diagram 3) Digestive organ that: - store, mix, dissolve, and continue digestion of food - dissolve food particles with secretions - kill microorganisms with acid - release protein-digesting (pepsin) and fat-digesting (lipase) enzymes - lubricate and protect stomach surface with mucus - regulate emptying of dissolved food into small intestine - produce intrinsic factor for vitamin B-12 absorption
mouth
(diagram 3) (body part A) Digestive organ that: - chew food - perceive taste - moisten food with saliva - lubricate food with mucus - release small amount of starch-digesting (amylase) and fat-digesting (lipase) enzymes - initiate swallowing reflex
