| The actions of pepsin and lipase are examples of | chemical digestion |
| The stomach is located on the upper left side of the abdominal cavity just below the | diaphragm |
| The pancreas is located between the duodenum medially and the | duodenum |
| The changing of food to smaller pieces is called mechanical digestion, and it creates more | surface area |
| Chemical digestion requires enzymes, each of which is specific for a type of | food |
| In the villi of the small intestine, glucose is absorbed into the capillary networks by the process of | active transport |
| In the villi of the small intestine, amino acids are absorbed into the capillary networks by the process of active transport | active transport |
| In the villi of the small intestine, fatty acids are absorbed into the lacteals in combination with | bile salts |

| In the villi of the small intestine, fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed into the lacteals in combination with | bile salts |
| In the villi of the small intestine, water-soluble end products of digestion are absorbed into the capillary networks and fat-soluble end products are absorbed into the | lacteals |
