Peristalsis
Series of involuntary muscular contractions that squeezed food down to the stomach
Digestive System
A coiled muscular tube that is 6 - 9 meters long beginning in the mouth to the anus
Digestion
Process which food is converted to soluble forms
Two Forms of Digestion
1. Physical Digestion

2. Chemical DIgestion
Physical Digestion
Breaks down food into smaller particles

Being chewed in the mouth

Increase surface area of food
Chemical Digestion
Breaks down food by the enzymes

Begins in the mouth with saliva

Mostly occurs in the small intestine
Stages of Digestion
1. Movement
2. Secretion
3. Digestion
4. Absorption
5. Elimination
Movement
Propels food through system
Secretion
Release digestive juices
Digestion (in stages of digestion)
Breakdown food into molecular size
Absorbtation
Food molecules absorb through intestinal walls
Elimination
Removal of undigested food
Primary Organs

2. Esophagus
3. Stomach
4. Small Intestine
5. Large Intestine
6. Anus
Teeth
Physical breakdown of food
Esphagus
Transport food from the esophagus to the stomach through the process of peristalsis
Stomach
Muscular organs that store your food temporarily, mixed, digest, and controls passage of food
Small Intestines
The major site to the digestion and absorption of nutrients, contain villi
Large Intestine
Absorb water from undigested materials
Anus
Opening for removal of feces
Secondary Digestive Organs
1. Salivary Glands
2. Liver
3, Gall Bladder
4. Pancreas
5. Rectum
Salivary Glands
Secrete chemical (enzymes) that breakdown starch into glucose
Liver
Produce bile which helps breakdown fat into small dropplets
Gall Bladder
Stores bile
Pancreas
Secrete enzymes that breakdown starches into protein
Rectum
Opening for removal of feces
Digestion starts in
The mouth
Physical digestion starts with
Chewing
Chemical digestion start with
Enzymes
Saliva
Mixture of water and enzymes that breakdown carbohydrate into glucose (sugar).
What is indicator ?
A chemical that test the presence or absence of another substance.
What is used to test for protein?
Glucose Test Strip
What is used to test for starch?
Iodine
Quantitative Data
Something that can be measured
Qualitative Data
Something that can't be measured. For example color.
Scientist would prefer what type of data?
Quantitative Data
3 Types of Solutions:
1. Acidic Solution

2. Neutral Solution

3. Basic Solution
Definition of Acidic Solutions:
A liquid with hydrogen
Characteristic of Acidic Solutions:
1. Poisonous

2. Burn Skin

3. Corrode Metal
Examples of Acidic Solutions:
1. Oranges

2. Lemons

3. Pickles
Definition of Neutral Solutions:
A liquid that contains a balance of hydrogen and hydroxide
Characteristic of Neutral Solutions:
1. Tasteless

2. Harmless
Examples of Neutral Solutions:
Distilled Water
Definition of Basic Solution (Base):
A liquid with Hydroxide
Characteristic of Basic Solution
1. Poisonous

2. Burn Skins

3. Dissolve Bones
Examples of Basic Solutions:
1. Soap
2. Ammonia
3. Unsweetened Chocolates
4. Milk of Magnesia
What do people use when stomach hurt? Why?
Milk of Magnesia, because it helps neutralize the stomach acid creating a neutral solutions.
How long is stomach?
10 Inches long
How often does Stomach lining replaced?
Every 3 days
What does stomach do?
1. Expand to hold foods, contracts when empty

2. Digest proteins

3. Liquefies food
4 Substance made in the stomach:
1. Hydrochloric Acids (HCI)
2. Mucus
3. Hormone
4. Enzymes
Hydrochloric Acids:
Acid in digestion.

Kills the disease caused by organism.
Mucus:
Protect stomach from its acids
Hormones
Triggered by the brain to stimulate the stomach to start or stop the production of acid
Enzymes:
Help with digestion of protein and in the clumping of protein for digestion.
The stomach help produces:
enzymes
Stomach helps digest:
1. Protein

2. Enzymes

3. Rennin
Rennin:
Enzymes that clump milk to a solid and stay in the stomach longer so protein can be digested, important in infants
Something Churring:
It's gooey has air bubbles and feels warm
What effect that rennet tablet have on milk? Is it physical or chemical change?
It is chemical change, because it turned milk into big globs and has air bubbles
What would happen to your stomach without mucus?
Acid would burn your stomach
Why mucus in an adaptation?
Because it protects stomach from its own acids
Most of digestion happens in:
The first 10 inches of the small intestine, the rest is where nutrients are absorbed
What happened in the small intestine?
Food entered into the small intestine are combined with pancreatic fluid and bile
Pancreatic Fluid:
A base that neutralize stomach acids has enzymes to breakdown starch, fat, sugars, and protein
Bile:
made in the liver, stored in gall bladder, breaks down fat into small droplets to increase surface area
Large Intestine:
It is your second to last part of primary digestion.

Long tube 5 ft/ 1.5 meters long

Makes bacteria that helps large intestine

Final digestion, water absorption, and feces elimination
Colon:
The last part of the large intestine
Is there any enzymes in the large intestine?
No
What does bacteria in the large intestine do?
1. Digest plant fiber
2. creates intestinal gas when digesting plant fiber
3. Produce B & K vitamin
4. Help body absorb water
5. Without bacteria, diarrhea can occur
Independent Variable:
The variable that is changed on purpose by the experimenter (also known as the cause, stimulus, reason, manipulated variable). This is the "IF" part of a hypothesis.
Dependent Variable:
The variable that respond (also know as effect, results, responding variables). This is the "then" part of hypothesis.
Constant:
All factors which are not allowed to change during an experiment
What happened when beano is mixed with beans?

How would this prevent gas?
It becomes solid and chunky.

Beano contain enzymes that helps breakdown fiber into glucose before the gas started. It also increase the pH in the colon.
What happens to the water that is absorbed in the large intestine?
It goes around your body
Antibiotic cab kill bacteria in the large intestine. How can this cause vitamin loss and diarrhea?
Bacteria produces vitamin B & K. Bacteria is is important.
Beano is like a pair of scissor:
because it breaks down food
Surface Area:
Measure how much exposed area an object has
What does Villi and Micro Villa do?
In the small intestine, inner folds, villi and microvilli increase the area and absorb digested food faster
Inner folds increase the surface area by:
3X
Villi increase the surface area for absorption by:
another 10X
Microvilli increase the surface area for absorption by:
another 10X
Length of section of Intestinal Wall
26 cm
Length of Villi:
62 cm
Length of Microvilli
108 cm
What would happen to our body's absorption rate of the intestines if villi had no microvilli?
less nutrients would be able to get in the blood stream causing the person to become underweight.
