I WONDER - How Do The Pancreas And Liver Help Us Break Down Food?

The video explains the roles of the pancreas and liver in the digestive system. The pancreas produces enzymes that speed up nutrient absorption, while the liver produces bile to break down fats for energy. Both organs are crucial for digestion and work alongside the stomach to process food efficiently.

What role do enzymes produced by the pancreas play in digestion?

• They store nutrients for later use.

• They help convert food into nutrients more quickly.

• They slow down the digestion process.

• They break down proteins into amino acids.

What is the primary function of bile produced by the liver?

• To digest carbohydrates.

• To break down proteins.

• To break down fats for energy absorption.

• To neutralize stomach acid.

How does the liver contribute to the digestive process?

• By creating bile to break down fats.

• By producing enzymes.

• By absorbing nutrients directly.

• By storing excess glucose.

Which two organs are highlighted as important for digestion in the video?

• Brain and spinal cord.

• Heart and lungs.

• Pancreas and liver.

• Kidneys and bladder.

What is the overall importance of the pancreas and liver in digestion?

• They are responsible for the production of blood cells.

• They are minor components of the digestive system.

• They assist the stomach in digesting food and are vital to the digestive system.

• They only help in the absorption of vitamins.
