The exocrine division produces pancreatic juice, and the endocrine division produces insulin and glucagon.
3. Papillae- small nipple-like processes on top of the tongue. The small risings from the tongue.
4. Peristalsis- The alternate wave-like movement of the intestines making contractions and relaxations so that the contents of food are forced forward
5. Pharynx- Long drawn out portion of the digestive tube amid the esophagus under the mouth and nasal cavities called throat. This is the common tube for food from the mouth and air from the nose.
