Task 4
I will be taking about the digestive system, cardiovascular system and the respiratory system.
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
The digestive system is very important in digesting food and breaking it down so it can be digested easily. The digestive system turns food into energy. Throughout the process there are nutrients which are absorbed. There are many things that contributed to the digestive system such as the mouth which produces saliva which helps to break down food and nutrients such as carbohydrates with the help of an enzyme called amylase. The major food groups which are called macro nutrients include carbohydrates, proteins and fats. All of these nutrients play an important role in the body. There are also many micro-nutrients which include vitamins and minerals which provide the body with health and well-being. The digestive system is made up of the mouth, which includes the teeth (the teeth are used to cut and grind food into smaller pieces, they contain blood vessels and nerves), tongue (the tongue is a muscle that has a rough surface including the taste buds), salvia glands (they produce salvia which moistens the food to make is easier to digest), the pharynx (this helps the food travel to the stomach, the pharynx also plays an important role in the respiratory system. It also contains 2 different flaps to separate the 2 functions), esophagus (this connects the pharynx to the stomach and transports chewed food to the stomach), stomach (this is a muscle that is
The digestive system absorbs the minerals and nutrients from the foods that have been eaten. The break down of food beings in the mouth, where the
The digestive system is made up of all different organs which starts at the mouth and finishes at the anus but on the way involves all other organs; these organs help to break down and absorb the food.
The digestive system is a group of organs working together to convert food into energy and basic nutrients to feed the whole body. To achieve the goal of providing energy and nutrients to the body, six processes take place in the digestive system.
Use the information found below to guide your research and to design your model. Guiding questions are broken down by assignment. Take notes, answer questions, and complete sketches in your laboratory journal.
After dissecting the rat, we learned that the rat’s body has many complex systems. To begin, the digestive system contains a group of organs that work together to convert food taken in from the body and converts it to energy and basic nutrients to feed the cells in the body. The digestive system includes the mouth, pyloric valve or sphincter, caecum, small intestine, colon (large intestine), duodenum, retrum, and stomach. The salivary glands, liver, and pancreas are glands that are laid outside of the digestive system, but they are associated with contributing to the system’s function. The mouth processes the food so that it is easier to swallow. From the mouth, it moves to the back of the mouth.
The digestive system are organs converting food into energy and basic nutrients to feed the entire body.
The digestive and excretory systems help the body with the wonderful task of food. The digestive system is composed of the stomach, mouth, liver, pancreas, and the large and small intestine. It digests food and provides the
Food is digested by being broken down, by a variety of enzymes, into useful nutrients, which are transported around the body to places where they can be of use, and into waste products, which are excreted from the body. The digestive system is made up of a number of organs, oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and small and large intestines, these are then separated into the digestive tract and the digestive organs. The digestive tract is, essentially, a single continuous tube that begins at the mouth and ends at the anus, in a fully grown adult it is approximately seven metres long. Food travels through the digestive tract and the digestive organs produce the enzymes and chemicals that are responsible for
The Earthworm, starfish, frog, fetal pig, and human all have much in common; however, some have more in common than others. Many have a matching digestive system but not a matching skeletal or circulatory system. Thought numerous dissections we can compare and contrast the various animal systems and gain knowledge on more than just the external side of an animal.
The digestive system is the process that involves the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. For the body to function, the body`s cells needs energy and that energy will come from the food we eat. All the food we eat contains nutrients, carbohydrates, glucose, lipids, protein and many more other substances. The only way the body can absorb and convert these nutrients into energy to our cells is through breaking down the large molecules into smaller pieces and moist by the action of enzymes.
Your digestive system is amazing—it is comprised of a complex network of organs that work together to provide you with the nutrients from the food you eat, while eliminating harmful substances from your body. Unfortunately, the importance of digestive health is greatly underappreciated.
The oral cavity is very important when dealing with the digestive system. Digestion begins when food enters the mouth and is mechanically broken up by the chewing movements of the teeth. The tongue moves food around the mouth to be mixed with the saliva. Saliva contains digestive enzymes to break down carbohydrates and slippery lubricants to make food easier to swallow. Without a properly working oral cavity, food would be difficult to eat and digest to get the proper nutrients the body needs.
You must ensure you research define nutritional requirements. What do various agencies recommend and why?
The digestive system has the function of digestion and absorption. This means that the digestive system breaks down food into small molecules that will be absorbed and used by the body. But this process can only be completed with the help of multiple organs – the esophagus, the stomach, and the colon, to name a few.
The digestive system is one of the most important systems in our body because it takes the nutrients out of food we eat and gives us energy to power our body.
