Q5. Digestion begins in the mouth, where the food is cut and chopped up by your teeth. The tongue helps digest the food with a juice called saliva, which is a secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva is important because you need it to digest food and it keeps your teeth strong. Q6.…
• The stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food. Ridges of muscle tissue called reggae line the stomach. The stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion. The pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that opens to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small intestine. Small intestine: • The small intestine or small bowel is the part of the gastrointestinal tract between the stomach and the large intestine, and is where most of the end absorption of food takes place.…
Homeostasis Assignment Jeanette Galvez ZOOL 2021.03 Instructor: Elizabeth Samuel Oct. 14 2015 The human digestive system involves the process of food throughout the body. The human body must break down the food to its basic form so that it may be properly absorbed and used. The human digestive system is essentially one big tube that starts from the mouth and moves its way down to the anus (Farabee 1992). The entire starts from the mouth where salivary glands along with teeth, starts to break down the food so that it may be more easily used.…
The tongue hold participation in swallowing partially digested food, turning into a “ball” that could be swallowed. The tongue also has taste buds that distinguish whether it’s salt, sour sweet, or bitter foods. The next step is The Pharynx, throat, and is a tube link to the back end of the mouth. The pharynx task is to pass a certain amount of mass of chewed up food from the mouth into…
Crohn’ disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by inflammation of the digestive, or gastrointestinal tract. In fact, Crohn’s can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, but it is more commonly found at the end of the small intestine called the ileum. The most common symptoms of Crohn’s diseases are diarrhea, cramping and pain in your abdomen, and weight loss. Your digestive system is made up of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract also called the digestive tract-and the liver, pancreas and gallbladder. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.…
The digestive system is a series of hollow organs that form a long tube that extends from the mouth, through the abdominal cavity, and ends at the anus. It consists of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and accessory organs such as the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. The digestive tract contains food from the time it is consumed until it is either absorbed by the body or eliminated; muscular contractions of the digestive tract help to propel the food through all sections of the digestive system, and also work to help break the food into smaller particles. Several of the organs of the digestive system, and most of the accessory organs secrete various enzymes that help to break food particles down chemically into molecules that the body can use (Tortora and Derrickson 2014).…

Food enters through the mouth, and travels via the esophagus. The food goes into the stomach where is broken down in the stomach acids, following through to the first part of the small intestine(duodenum). Then it enters the pancreas,…
The brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle. The nervous system regulates the speed at which food moves through the digestive tract. The human digestive system is the organ system responsible for extracting nutrients from consumed food items and absorbing the nutritional molecules into the bloodstream. Doing this requires breaking food into smaller pieces mechanically and chemically, so that nutritional molecules are isolated and can be absorbed. This process involves the help of the muscular system.…
The digestive system is made up of the digestive tract, the pancreases, liver and the gall bladder. Track refers to hollow organs joined from the mouth all the way to the anus. Food is ingested in the mouth and moves along the digestive tract to the anus where waste is excreted. Along the digestive tract, food is digested and broken down into smaller food components that can be absorbed and utilized by the body. Nerves, blood, bacteria and the organs work together to complete digestion task.…
Chewing food starts the beginning stages of digestion. From here it goes into the small intestine. As the food passes through the GI tract it mixes with digestive juices causing large molecules to break down into smaller molecules. The small molecules then absorb through the walls of the small…
Background information: Breathing: They breathe oxygen through gills. Gills are respiratory organs found in aquatic organisms, which allow the Yabby to remove the oxygen from the water for respiration. Each leg has a gill attached, with the movement of the legs helping the circulation of water over these gills. There is a thin layer of exoskeleton separating the gills from the body cavity, allowing water to cover the gills without getting inside the body.…
The human digestive system is a very sensitive tract. With the immune system being found to develop severe illnesses, humans need to come up with a way that doesn’t harm the digestive system and helps empower the immune system (Haddad, Azar, Groom, and Biovin, 2005)(pp.513). This is why people are resorting to homeopathy because it is a safe form of medicine that heals the whole individual from the inside out (Lockie, 1989). According to Ody (2007), “instead of trying to obliterate symptoms when they become severe, we need to be sufficiently in tune with our bodies to recognize those symptoms as they develop and treat likely causes” (pp.7). But how does it work?…
To understand the Musculo-Skeletal system and how it is suited to the functions that it performs for the body you first need to understand how the system works and what it is responsible for. It is comprised of two separate systems working together as one to provide the body with physical support, the ability to move and protection for its major organs. These two systems are the Skeletal System and the Muscular System and they contain the following:- Bones of the skeleton Muscles Cartilage Tendons Ligaments Joints Connective tissue binding to the body’s organs If you break the system down into its separate parts you can gain a deeper understanding of how they create a joint working system within the body.…
The digestive system of a dog is composed of; the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines but also requires help from organs such as the pancreas, and liver. The digestive systems roles are: digesting of food absorbing of nutrients Dog's digestive systems work differently to that of a human, for instance the digestion process begins in the stomach for dog's and in the mouth for humans. It is important for owners to have some idea of how the digestive system works in dog's so they can look out for symptoms that may signal the dog is unwell. The process of digestion begins after the food has passed through the mouth and traveled down the esophagus. The food then enters the stomach, and is broken down…
