The Digestive System is basically consist of organs that works together to help transfer food into energy to help nourish the body. The food then passes through, what is called the Gastrointestinal Tract (GI Tract). The GI Tract’s job mainly is to digest the food taken in, consume the nutrients and get rid of waste. This process is an impactful part of the immune system, which plays an important role with helping fluid not to enter the blood stream that’s due to a sore or inflamed tissue.
motility). Digestive System (GI TRACT) The digestive system is an organ system within animals, it’s primary purpose is to break food down into nutrients, which can be absorbed into the body to provide energy and expel the remaining waste as faeces and urine. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract consists of the pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestines and the large intestines all of which play a vital role in helping the body digest food and remove waste. Food moves through the GI tract via peristalsis
BIOLOGY ‘S ASSIGNMENT 1/What is the purpose of digestion? * Break down food, absorb nutrient from food into body tissues and systems in body 2What is the name given to mammal only eat meat ? * Carnivores 3/What is the name of mammal only eat plant? * Herbivores 4/What is the difference between a fore-gut fermenter and hind-gut fermenter? Example? Because plant cells have tough cellulose cell walls and herbivore are not able to digest, they use micro- organisms that live symbiotically
The purpose of this lab was to see how the digestive system length of my body compares with a rabbit, dog and koala. This is a dilemma to find out without prior knowledge because of the small sizes of the animals and our large size in comparison. My data shows the lengths of these animals and my own digestive system. I found my own digestive system length by measuring the body parts that are associated with the digestive system. The measurements began at the mouth, where the digestion process begins
The digestive systems organs work together to help the body turn food into nutrients and energy. Food passes through the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). The GI tract is made up of the oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. There are accessory organs that do not have food pass through them but those organs help with the digestive system. They include the teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. The six major functions need to happen
A similarity that is present between the bear, lion, and koalas digestive system is that they all have small intestines. In all of the animals’ digestive system they have small intestine which absorbs all the nutrients and minerals from the food that they have eaten. Small intestine, or small bowel, is a hollow tube about 20 feet long that runs from the stomach to the beginning of the large intestine. The small intestine breaks down food from the stomach and absorbs much of the nutrients from the
Digestive system and Urinary System The digestive system is a group of organs working together to convert food into energy. The food digested is also tied into basic nutrients to feed the body. The digestive system is something called the tube within a tube. This is because it is a hollow structure with two openings that run the height of your body. The digestive tract consists of two parts the gastrointestinal tract known as GI tract and a set of accessory organs. GI tract starting at the oral cavity
of the digestive tract and the accessory organs of the digestive system To discuss the regions of the digestive system, it seems more reasonable to start superiorly and work my way down. The digestive system as a whole can be broken down into two regions called the alimentary tract, and accessory organs (SEER, .n.d.) The Alimentary tract consists of the: mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. The accessory organs are there to aid the digestive system
Script Introduction: The digestive system is needed in order to break down food in order to be able to use the food as energy, and my group and I have simulated the digestive process of a muffin. Mouth: In the mouth, mastication in the form of chewing takes place, which is a type of mechanical digestion. Mastication occurs when the teeth, with the incisors simulated by the knife and the molars simulated by the motor and pestle, cut the food into smaller particles, which maximised surface area.
project I have decided that I will test the enzymes in the digestive system on different food groups which will be processed and unprocessed foods. The processed foods that will be tested will include Doritos Cool Ranch, Fruit Loops, Slim Jim and the unprocessed foods are apples, spinach, carrots. This project divides into different subtopics the revolve around the project as a whole. The digestive system is first a review of the system and it processes, then there are enzymes and how they work and
