Question:
The pancreas is a major accessory organ in the digestive system. Which of the following would destroy the function of the digestive products produced by the pancreas?
(A) A decrease in absorption rates within the alimentary canal
(B) Removing the excess water from the food waste
(C) Increased acidity due to the inability to neutralize stomach acid
(D) An increase in peristalsis and subsequent diarrhea
The digestive system in humans can be divided into two parts: the alimentary canal and the accessory organs. The canal comprised of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines is where the food actually passes during its transition into waste. The accessory organs are any organs that aid in the digestion by supplying the organs in the alimentary canal with digestive hormones and enzymes.
