|
Food begins its breakdown process |
In the mouth |
|

8 incisors, for canines, 8 premolars, 12 molars, |
|
Prevent food from entering the trachea |
Epiglottis |
|
The lower esophageal sphincter or also kwon as cardiac sphincter is the |
Ring that prevents stomach content from moving back into the esophagus |
|
Bolus moves through pharynx than the esophagus to the |
Stomach |
|
Food moves through the digestive tract via arrhythmic wave of muscle contractions |
Peristalsis |
|
The liver produces bile which |
Aids the absorption of fats |
|
Bile is not an |
Enzyme |
|
The gallbladder stores |
Bile |
|
The pancreas produces digestive enzymes along with a buffer that neutralizes the acidity of |
Stomach acid |
|
The stomach produces the enzyme pepsin to break down |
Proteins into peptides (which are short chains of amino acids) |
|
Separates the stomach from the small intestines |
Pyloric sphincter |
|
Most digestion of carbs protein and fats occur in the small intestine these mono molecular is must be broken down into monomers in order to be absorbed into |
The bloodstream |
|
The main function of the large intestine is to |
Reabsorb water |
|
Undigested material is eliminated as |
Fecal matter |
|
The slurry mixture in your stomach is |
Chyme (kyme) |
|
Well the gallbladder concentrates bile removing too much water can cause |
Gallstones |
|
Scarring of the liver tissue is called |
Cirrhosis |
|
Excessive alcohol consumption can cause inflammation of the pancreas known as |
Pancreatitis |
|
The Villi and microvilli help remove monomers from the small intestine into the bloodstream. What can interfere and damage the Villi |
Alcohol |
|
Any material that's not exorb by the bloodstream passes into |
The large intestine |
|
After a meal the stomach produces the |
Gastrin which stimulates the upper part of the stomach to produce acidic gastric juices |
|
The secretion of gastrin also results in the release of |
Secretin and cholecystokinin (cck) from the small intestine |
|
Secretin and cck cause what two organs to increase their output of digestive juices |
Pancreas and gallbladder |
|
Proteins that are specific and reusable |
Enzymes |
|
Each enzyme has an optimal |
PH and temperature |
|
In extreme pH or temperature enzymes |
Deactivate or denature |
|
The mouth is 7.0 the stomach is 4.0 and the small intestine is 8.0 |
The pH of each area |
|
Ten thousand more times acidic than the small |
The stomach |
|
The stomach produces an enzyme called pepsin which breaks down |
Proteins into peptides |
|
The pancreas produces amylase into the small intestine to break down starches into |
Maltose |
|
Maltase is in the small intestine to break down |
Maltose into glucose |
|
Lactose is broken down into galactose and glucose by what enzyme |
Lactase |
|
Sucrase breaks down sucrose into |
Fructose and glucose |
|
The three organs that assist in digestion |
Liver, pancreas, and gallbladder |
|
Digestion begins and ends |
Mouth, pharynx ,esophagus, stomach, small intestine ,large intestine ,anus |
|
The only energy living cells can use is |
ATP |
|
Sunlight + H2O Plus CO2> glucose + O2 |
General formula for photosynthesis |
|
Glucose + 02> CO2 + H2O + ATP |
The formula for aerobic cellular respiration |
|
Glucose> CO2 + alcohol + ATP |
General formula for fermentation of anaerobic respiration |
|
What is a normal brachial artery pressure also known as b p |
120 / 80 |
|
the kidney has four stages of |
Filtration, reabsorption ,secretion and excretion |
|
Filtration begins in the Bozeman capsule of the head structure of |
The nephrons |
|
There are over a million nephrons found in each |
Kidney |
|
Reabsorption is when sugar amino acids and blank are reabsorbed into the kidneys across the nephrotic Loop |
Water |
|
Waters that are lower concentration are secreted into the far end of the Nephron |
Secretion |
|
After the filtration has fully it is released into the bladder this is known as |
Excretion |
|
