Digestive Systems And The Digestive System

The human body consists of 11 organ systems in which each of them carry out specific functions required for our everyday life. Each organ systems are composed of different organs, which are made up of tissues, which are made of cells. The 11 organ systems in our body are:

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.

The digestive system is a group of organs that work together. It is responsible for taking whole foods and turning them into energy and nutrients to allow the body to function, grow and repair itself. Today, I will explain how the digestive system performs this unique process.

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 human body has 7 main systems which make our bodies function properly. Each system starts off as a single cell. The cell will then take part in a process called mitosis. This is when an identical copy of the cell in formed and they carry on multiplying. The cells will multiply until they form tissues such as muscular tissue, glandular tissue, epithelial tissue etc. The tissue then forms organs which then form our organ system.

In exploring module 5, much information was able to be learned about the structure, function, and age associated changes or dysfunctions of both the digestive system and the urinary system of the human body. Although through the exploration of this module, I have learned that the digestive system and the urinary system are comprised of their own distinct features and functions, I would say the most significant knowledge I have gained from module 5 would be that of the digestive system. More specically, the most significant knowledge that was gained of the digestive system itself, was that of the actual digestive processes. The process of digestion is a complex series of activities including ingestion, propulsion, mechanical or physical digestion,

My digestive system is a ten. I make sure to choose healthy foods and drink plenty of water. Fiber is also an important part of my diet. Additionally, I maintain a healthy weight. To continue maintaining a healthy digestive system throughout my life, I will carefully choose the food that I

The proses of the digestive tract are very complex and difficult to understand. There is a lot of chemistry that ties into the digestion system. There is multiple part of the digestive tract that all have different role helping the body to digestive nurturance. Most people when asked think that the stomach is the place where it all starts but they would be wrong. People also think the that the stomach is the most important but if it comes down to it that with out any part of this complex system the digestion could not take place.

For this weeks assignment I chose to write about the mouth. In the case of the digestion system, everything starts in the mouth. The mouth, is where the food in most cases, enters the body and begins to digest. The chunks of food after being in the mouth get chew into smaller chunks, and mix with liquid from the salivary glands and from other food and beverages in order to be swallowed, and to move on down the pharynx. This process is called a bolus. In order to avoid choking the epiglottis shuts the airway, by doing this the food is also able to not enter the lungs.

Digestion occurs mainly in the gut, formally known as the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Organs in the GI system include the stomach, small and large intestines as well as accessory organs such as the liver, gall bladder and pancreas. Accessory organs are known to provide secretions into the GI tract. These secretions include digestive juices that enter the gut by glands, including salivary glands, gastric glands in the stomach wall, pancreas and wall of the small intestine. Gastrin is a peptide hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric acid by the parietal cells of the stomach and helps gastric motility (Dimaline and Varro, 2014). It is important due to acid production in the stomach for dissolving and digesting some foods and is essential for normal cell growth in the stomach lining, walls of small intestine and colon.

oes the human body need all organs or organ systems to survive? How do the systems work together? The paragraphs are about how the Organ Systems work together. They will also be on how they can't work properly without them and what ones we necessarily need.

Digestion, how you get your energy and nutrients, seems simple. However, it is actually a complex process involving three organ systems and many stages.

The human bodies consist of a number of biological systems that carry out specific functions necessary for the average human to survive

All these organ system rely on each other in order to function properly. If even one organ system fails to works properly, the organism could lead to severe disability or even death. (Study, 2015)

The human digestive system, like those of other vertebrates, is built around an alimentary canal - a one way tube that passes through the body. The function of the digestive system is to convert foods into simple molecules that can be absorbed and used by the cells of the body.
