Figure shows the human digestive system.
Add each label to the appropriateness of the diagram. Some labels should be written in two places.
Labels to add
- Physical digestion, increases the surface area of food (two places)
- The gall bladder
- Amylase is secreted (two places)
- Amylase acts on starch (two places)
- Lipase breaks down fats
- Absorption happens
- Secretes a liquid with a low pH, which kills bacteria
- Protease is secreted (two places)
