where does fat digestion take place in the human body?
liver
the digestive functions of saliva include moistening food and helping to create a food bolus. the lubricative function of saliva allows the food bolus to be passed easily from the mouth into the oesophagus. saliva contains the enzyme amylase, also called ptyalin, which is capable of breaking down starch into simpler sugars such as maltose and dextrin that can be further broken down in the small intestine. about 30% starch digestion takes place in the mouth cavity. salivary glands also secrete salivary lipase (a more potent form of lipase) to begin fat digestion. salivary lipase plays a large role in fat digestion in newborn infants as their pancreatic lipase still needs some time to develop.
saliva
in the large intestine the passage of food is slower to enable fermentation by the gut flora to take place. here water is absorbed and waste material stored as feces to be removed by defecation via the anal canal and anus.
