The document discusses several functions and components of the digestive system. Lysozyme in saliva kills germs, while the large intestine absorbs water. The liver produces enzymes like ALT, AST, ALP and GGT, and the duodenum produces enterokinase. Transferrin transports molecules, chyme enters the large intestine via the Bauhin valve, intrinsic factor aids digestion, and chenodeoxycholic acid mixes with bile.
