 • Digestive process is accomplished by mechanical and enzymatic breakdown of food into simple chemical compounds.

 • Digestive system plays the major role in the digestion and absorption of food substance. Thus , the function of digestive systems includes

 a. Ingestion or consumption of food substances

 b. Breaking them into small particles

 c. Transport of small particles to different areas of the digestive tract

 d. Secretion of necessary in enzymes and other substance for digestion

 e. Digestion of the food particles

 f. Absorption of the digestive product

 g. Removal of the unwanted substance from the body

 • Liver

 • Gall bladder

Different types of digestive juices

 It contains following enzyme

 • Salivary amylase

 • Maltase

 • Lingual lipase

 2. Gastric juice

 • Cholesterol ester hydrolase

 • Phospholipase A

 • Phospholipase B

 • Colipase

 • Bile-salt-activated lipase

 It contains following enzyme for digestion of carbohydrates

 • Pancreatic amylase

 4. Secretion from gallbladder and liver

Digestive agents (gastrointestinal agent)

Digestive agents or gastrointestinal agent are the drugs use for their effect on GI system, to control gastric acidity regulate gastrointestinal motility and water flow and improve digestion.

Types of Gastrointestinal agents:

 • 5-aminosalicylates

 • antacids

 • antidiarrheals

 • digestive enzymes

 • functional bowel disorder agents.

 • gallstone solubilizing agents

 • GI stimulants
