Answer:

We begins to digest the carbohydrates the minute the food goes to our mouth. The saliva which is secreted from our salivary glands moisten up the food when it is chewed. Salivary amylase is present in our saliva which begins the breaking process of sugars in the carbohydrates when we are eating.  It is also referred to as ptyalin. Salivary glands are exocrine glands which makes saliva through a ductory system.Humans have three major paired salivary glands ( parotid, submandibular & sublingual)as well as hundreds of minor salivary glands. Minor salivary glands on the tongue leads to the secretion of amylase. Parotid gland assemble purely serous saliva. The other major salivary glands produce mixed saliva ( serous plus mucous). Another types of serous fluid produced by two layered serous membranes which lines the serous cavity.

Maru [420]

Arteries

Arteries are elastic vessels that transport blood away from the heart. Pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs where oxygen is picked up by red blood cells. Systemic arteries deliver blood to the rest of the body.

Veins

Veins are elastic vessels that transport blood to the heart. Veins can be categorized into four main types: pulmonary, systemic, superficial, and deep veins.

Capillaries

Capillaries are extremely small vessels located within the tissues of the body that transport blood from the arteries to the veins. Fluid and gas exchange between capillaries and body tissues takes place at capillary beds.

Sinusoids

Sinusoids are extremely small vessels located within the liver, spleen, and bone marrow.

Arterioles

a small diameter blood vessel that branches out from an artery to a capillary
