Across 3. SWALLOWING 9. INTESTINE. 11. THE DIGESTIVE TRACT (CANAL); ALIMENT MEANS FOOD. 12. RIDGES ON THE HARD PALATE AND WALL OF STOMACH. 13. SUBSTANCE PRODUCED BY THE STOMACH; NECESSARY FOR DIGESTION. 15. THROAT, COMMON PASSAGEWAY OF FOOD FROM THE MOUTH AND AIR FROM THE NOSE. 17. ORGAN UNDER THE STOMACH; PRODUCES INSULIN FOR TRANSPORT OF SUGAR INTO CELLS AND ENZYMES FOR DIGESTION. 18. ONE OF THE FOUR TEETH IN THE DENTAL ARCH. 19. SOFT TISSUE WITHIN A TOOTH CONTAINING NERVES AND BLOOD VESSELS. 22. PIGMENT RELEASED BY THE LIVER IN BILE; PRODUCED FROM THE DESTRUCTION OF HEMOGLOBIN, A BLOOD PROTEIN (-GLOBIN). 26. THIRD PART OF THE SMALL INTESTINE; FROM THE GREEK ELOS MEANING TWISTED. WHEN THE ABDOMEN WAS VIEWED AT NECROPSY, THE INTESTINE APPEARED TWISTED AND THE ILEUM WAS OTEN AN AREA OF OBSTRUCTION. 27. PANCREATIC ENZYME NECESSARY TO DIGEST FATS. 29. CHEWING. 31. PHYSICAL PROCESS OF BREAKING UP LARGE FAT GLOBULES INTO SMALLER GLOBULES, INCREASING THE SURFACE AREA THAT ENZYMES CAN USE TO DIGEST THE FAT. 32. SMALL SUBSTANCES THAT ARE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF PROTEINS (ANABOLISM) AND ARE PRODUCED WHEN PROTEINS ARE DIGESTED (CATABOLISM). 35. SECOND PART OF THE SMALL INTESTINE. JEJUNUS IN LATIN MEANS EMPTY; THIS PART OF THE INTESTINE WAS ALWAYS EMPTY WHEN EXAMINED AFTER DEATH. 38. SMALL SAC UNDER THE LIVER THAT STORES BILE 41. BREAKDOWN OF COMPLEX FOOD INTO SIMPLER FORMS. 42. TINY MICROSCOPIC PROJECTIONS IN THE WALLS OF THE SMALL INTESTINE THAT ABOSORB NUTRIENTS INTO THE BLOODSTREAM (SINGULAR = VILLUS. 43. ANIMAL STARCH; GLUCOSE IS STORED IN THE FORM OF GLYCOGEN IN LIVER CELLS. 44. SOLID WASTE; STOOLS 45. FIRST PART OF THE LARGER INTESTINE.

Down 1. CAPILLARIES THAT CARRY BLOOD FROM THE DIGESTIVE TRACT TO THE LIVER. 2. RING OF MUSCLE AT THE DISTAL REGION OF THE STOMACH. 4. MUSCULAR ORGAN THAT RECEIVES FOOD FROM THE ESOPHAGUS. DIGESTION BEGINS IN THE STOMACH AND CONTINUES IN THE DUODENUM. 5. LARGE INTESTINE; ASCENDING, TRANSVERSE, DESCENDING. 6. CARRIES BILE FROM THE LIVER AND GALLBLADDER TO THE DUODENUM 7. ENZYME (-ASE) FROM THE PANCREAS TO DIGEST STARCH (AMYL) 8. ROOF OF MOUTH. HARD PALATE IS ANTERIOR TO THE SOFT PALATE. 10. RHYTHM-LIKE CONTRACTIONS OF THE TUBES OF THE ALIMENTARY CANAL AND OTHER TUBULAR STRUCTURES. 14. POINTED, DOG LIKE TEETH, ALSO CALLED CUSPIDS OR EYE TEETH. 16. BLIND POUCH FROM THE FIRST PART OF THE COLON (CECUM). IT LITERALLY MEANS HANGING (PEND/O) ON (AP-). USUALLY FOUND IN THE RLQ. 20. LARGE ORGAN LOCATED IN THE RUQ OF THE ABDOMEN THAT SECRETES BILE; STORES SUGAR, IRON, AND VITAMINS; PRODUCED BLOOD PROTEINS; AND DESTOYS WORNOUT RED BLOOD CELLS. WEIGHS 2 1/2 - 3 LBS. 21. PASSAGE OF MATERIALS THROUGH THE WALLS OF THE INTESTINE INTO THE BLOODSTREAM. 23. MASS OF MASTICATED FOOD READY TO BE SWALLOWED. FROM GREEK MEANING LUMP. 24. LOWER PART OF THE COLON; SHAPED LIKE THE LETTER "S". 25. DIGESTIVE JUICE PRODUCED BY SALIVARY GLANDS (PAROTID, SUBLINGUAL, SUBMANDIBULAR). 28. HORMONE PRODUCED BY THE ENDOCRINE CELLS OF THE PANCREAS. IT TRANSPORTS SUGAR INTO CELLS FROM THE BLOOD AND STIMULATES GLYCOGEN FORMATION BY THE LIVER. 30. END OF THE COLON. 33. SMALL ELEVATIONS ON THE TONGUE (SINGULAR = PAPILLA = NIPPLE LIKE) 34. FIRST PART OF THE SMALL INTESTINE (DUO=2, DEN=10, THE DUODENUM IS ABOUT 12 INCHES IN LENGTH) 36. SOFT TISSUE HANGING FROM THE SOFT PALATE IN THE BACK OF THE MOUTH. 37. SIMPLE SUGAR 39. MAJOR TISSUE COMPOSING TEETH, COVERED BY ENAMEL ABOVE THE GUM AND CEMENTUM ON THE ROOT. 40. DIGESTIVE JUICE MADE IN THE LIVER AND STORED IN THE GALLBLADDER. IT PHYSICALLY BREAKS UP (EMULSIFIES) LARGE FAT GLOBULES. BILES WAS ORIGINALLY CALLED GALL (LATIN BILIS MEANIG GALL OR ANGER, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF IT'S BITTER TASTE.) IT IS COMPOSED OF BILE PIGMENTS, CHOLESTEROL AND BILE SALS.
