|
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.
