CHAPTER 5 The Digestive System
ISBN-13: 978-1-7196-4856-1 Or purchase online access at FADavis.com
Salivary Glands The salivary glands secrete saliva , a watery fluid that contains mucus and enzymes. Enzymes are chemicals that help to break down food into nutri- ents , smaller molecules that can be used by the body for energy. Enzymes found in saliva include amylase, which digests carbohydrates, and lipase, which begins digestion of fats. Saliva works to add fluid and chemically digest food. The salivary glands are in three groups, the parotids, subman- dibular, and sublingual. The mucus aids in lubrication so that the chewed and lubricated ball of food, the bolus , can be swallowed and enter the pharynx. TERMINOLOGY FACT Enzymes are named for the type of nutrient they aid in digesting. • Amylase digests amylose (a carbohydrate). • Protease digests proteins. More enzymes are released by the pancreas to aid digestion in the small intestines.

Teeth Teeth function to chew (masticate) food in the mouth. The food is softened by saliva and torn by incisors , the teeth in the front of the mouth, and ground up by molars , the teeth in the back of the mouth. The gingiva surrounds the teeth, anchoring them in place. Gin- givae (plural) are commonly called the gums and must remain healthy to promote chewing and therefore digestion. Gingivitis, acute or chronic inflammation of the gums, can cause
