Q

What is respiration?

A

Occurs in cells
Food molecules absorbed after digestion and are taken in and broken down. Energy is released for power, movement, growth and repair.
Biochemical process: cells obtain, combine glucose and oxygen which equals carbon dioxide water and energy

Q

What is the importance of breathing for cell respiration?

A

Breathing for respiration = energy released
Breathing oxygen into lungs = oxygen into body cells
Nutrition: after food digested, glucose also move to the body cells. In mitochondria glucose reacts with oxygen to produce ATP ( adenosine triphosphate)
Energy stored cell as ATP: released for active transport, movement, maintenance of body temperature, nerve impulse transmissions

Carbon dioxide water = waste products

36
What happens to your lungs when you exhale?
Compressed Deflate Carbon dioxide out
37
What is the difference between breathing and respiration?
B: air in and out of lungs; R: in body cells B: air in and out of lungs; R: break down glucose release energy B: energy not released; R: energy released B: ribs, chest involved; R: muscles not involved
38
What is the elementary canal?
Tubular passage, functioning in conveying, digesting, absorption of food. Elimination indigested food residue
39
What is the digestive system?
Organs of elementary canal and all other organs that aid in digestion
40
What is the mouth and mouth cavity?
It is the opening of the elimentary canal, bound by 2 lips and contains tongue, teeth, duct openings of salivary glands
41
What does mastication do to help?
Make swallowing easier Increase surface area for enzyme activity to mix food with saliva Mechanical digestion
42
How does the 6 salivary glands aid?
Water, mucus to soften, moisten, lubricate dry food and the eosophagus
43
What chemical digestion takes place in the mouth?
Food in mouth for few seconds, very little digestion. Saliva secreted, salivary enzyme amylase; insoluble starch to soluble maltose.
44
What is the final step that takes place in the mouth?
Food rolled into bolus, pushed by tongue into pharynx
45
What is the pharynx?
Area back of mouth where the windpipe coming from nose, cross the oesophagus. Part between mouth cavity and oesophagus
46
What happens in the pharynx during digestion?
Tongue pushes masticated food into pharynx, contracts by muscular action 2 push bolus into oesophagus
47
What is the oesophagus?
Tube starting in pharynx, ending in opening of stomach
48
How does move from pharynx to stomach through oesophagus?
Wave of peristalsis force food through tube into stomach
49
What stops the food from going back into oesophagus?
Cardiac sphincter muscle between stomach and oesophagus
50
What is the function of the epiglottis?
Flap enclose windpipe when swallow to ensure the food going into oesophagus.
51
What two sphincter muscles encloses the stomach?
Entry: Cardiac sphincter End: pyloric sphincter
52
What is the process of digestion in the stomach?
1. Foods; liquids into stomach 2. Stomach wall expand 3. Holds, stores food 4. Circular muscles cause wave like contractions: 5. Churn up food mix with gastric juice form gastric glands in lining. ( hydrochloric acid and pepsin) 6. Churning cause semi liquid chyme 7. Absorption soluble molecules (glucose, water, alcohol, minerals)
53
What is HCI?
Antiseptic kill pathogens like bacteria
54
What is the function of the liver?
Produce bile (stored in gallbladder) Storehouse for minerals eg iron; vitamins A; B; D Detoxification harmful substances (alcohol)
55
How is the enzymes secreted in the pancreas?
Pancreatic duct secrete pancreatic juice
56
What enzymes does pancreatic juice contain?
Amylase Trypsin Lipase Sodium bicarbonate - neutralises stomach acids, changes pH from acid to alkaline
57
Where does the most digestion take place?
In the small intestine,more specifically, the duodenum
58
What enzymes are in the duodenum?
Maltase Lipase Sucrase
59
What is chyle and where is it found?
Chyle is a mix of many small soluble molecules (amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol, glucose, fructose, vitamins, minerals) - soluble molecules absorbed into bloodstream
60
What does the ileum have to aid in digestion?
- ridges - folds - walls covered with villi to increase surface area
61
What is the parts of the large intestine?
Caecum, appendix, colon, rectum, anus
62
What indigestible materials does the colon receive?
Plant fibers, cellulose, bacteria, dead cells dislodged by friction in intestinal walls, mucus, large quantity water, bile salts, some minerals/vitamins
63
What is absorbed in the colon?
Water, minerals, some vitamins (K;B)
64
What does the colon do with the chyle?
Compact digestible residue semi - solid feaces
65
How is feaces release?
defecation anus, controlled by anal sphincter muscle
66
What is the caecum?
Pouch - like structure receives chyle from ileum
67
What is the appendix?
Finger - like tube attached to caecum.
68
What enzyme does salivary glands produce and what is its function?
Salivary enzymes: starch to maltose
69
What enzymes does the pancreas produce and what is its function?
Pancreatic amylase: starch - maltose Trypsin: polypeptides - amino acids Lipase: lipids - fatty acids and glycerol
70
What enzymes does the small intestine produce and and what is its function?
Lipase: lipids - fatty acids and glycerol Maltase: maltose - glucose
71
What enzyme does the stomach produce and what is its function?
Pepsin: proteins - polypeptides
72
What is swallowing?
Substance through mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, shutting epiglottis automatically.
73
What is the process of swallowing before peristalsis takes place?
1. Food rolled bolus 2. Bolus mixed with saliva, placed back of tongue 3. Soft portion of roof of mouth rise, nasal cavities closed off 4. Tongue rolls backward, push bolus into pharynx 5. Breathing temporarily stops, epiglottis closes 6. Pressure in pharynx and mouth push food into oesophagus 7. Oesophagel sphincter relax, open, food approach 8. Upper oesophagel sphincter close, prevent food from moving back into mouth. And then of course peristalsis takes place.
74
What is the process of peristalsis?
Circular muscles behind bolus contract, longitudinal muscles relax. Circular muscles muscles ahead bolus relax, longitudinal muscles contract. Antagonistic muscle action.
75
How many teeth does grownups have?
8 incisors 4 canines 8 premolars 12 molars
76
How may teeth do young children have?
8 molars 8 incisors 4 canines
77
What is the shape and function of incisors?
Front teeth Chisel shaped Biting;cutting
78
What is the shape and function of canines?
Pointed teeth | Grasping; tearing
79
What is the shape and function of premolars?
Ridges, furrowed | Crushing, grinding, chewing
80
What is the shape and function of molars?
4 cusps, 3 roots | Crushing, chewing, grinding
81
What is the importance of fluoride in toothpaste?
Increase strength of enamel | Protect teeth from decay
82
What are the causes of decay?
Plague contains bacteria always forming on the gums Bacteria digest food in mouth, stuck to teeth Bacteria feed on sugars, creates acids Over period time, acids dissolve enamel, dentine Cavity reach pulp cavity - toothache
83
Why is baking soda good for your teeth?
Neutralizes acids in mouth
84
Why is antibacterial agents good for your mouth?
Destroy plague bacteria
