Q

What is the Esophagus
and what is its function

A

Muscular tube moves food to stomach- using peristalis( muscle contractions)

18
Q

What is the Stomach
and what is its function

A

Muscular sac that turns food into a thin, watery liquid called Chyme

19
Q

What is Peristalsis and Enzymes/Pepsin

A

Peristalsis- Mechanical digestion in the stomach
Enzymes/Pepsin(Protein)- Chemical digestion in the stomach

20
Q

What is the small intestine
and what is it’s function

A

Long tube(Small diameter) that functions break down food, absorb nutrients the body needs, and excrete unnecessary components.

21
Q

What is the liver
and what is its function

A

Large red brown organ that makes bile

22
Q

What is the gallbladder
and what is its function

A

Stores bile until which is released into S.I and helps break down fats like detergents

23
Q

What is the pancreas and what is its function

A

Makes digestive enzymes and isulin which regulates blood sugar

24
Q

What is the Large Intestine
and what is its function

A

Absorbs excess water from undigested chyme

25
What is Chyme
the pulpy acidic fluid which passes from the stomach to the small intestine, consisting of gastric juices and partly digested food.
26
What is the Appendix and what is its function
Sac attached to the L.I that is now known to provide immune support in the body
27
What is the Rectum and the Anus and what are there functions
Rectum and Anus- Control releases of solid waste (POOP) fro your body
28
What is the difference between Mechanical and Chemical Digestion
Mechanical digestion is the physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces, like chewing, while chemical digestion involves enzymes breaking down food molecules into simpler substances for absorption.
29
Makes Insulin
Pancreas
30
Makes Biles
Liver
31
Makes Urine
Kidneys
32
Stores Bile
Gallbladder
33
Make Chemicals that break down carbohydrates
Salivary Glands
34
What are kidneys and what do they do
Kidneys are bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine, just below the rib cage. They are essential for maintaining bodily health by filtering waste products from the blood and producing urine.
35
What are Salivary Glands
The salivary glands are exocrine glands located in the head and neck that produce saliva. They play a crucial role in oral health and digestion.
36
List the parts of the Digestive system Involved with Chemical Digestion
mouth, stomach, and small intestine with contributions from accessory organs like the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.
37
List the parts of the Digestive system involved with Mechanical digestion
The primary parts of the digestive system involved in mechanical digestion are the mouth (with teeth and tongue), stomach, and small intestine (through peristalsis and segmentation
38
List the parts of the Digestive system Involved with both Mechanical Digestion and Chemical Digestion
Stomach and mouth
39
What is the purpose of the Digestive system
Produces energy and materials for cell development growth and repair
40
What would happen if your kidneys fail name three affects
If your kidneys fail, waste and excess fluid build up in your body, leading to serious health complications and potentially death if left untreated.Your kidneys filter waste and excess fluids from your blood, which are then excreted in your urine. One There would be an excess amount of fluid in you body which can cause swelling. Two excess amount of salt in you bloodstream leading to high blood pressure and swelling. 3 When kidneys fail, they can't filter waste products like urea from the blood, leading to a buildup of urea in the bloodstream which is toxic and can lead to death
41
Order the Digestive system in order(Only Digestive tract)
Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Large intestine, small intestine, rectum, and anus
42
how do the digestive and urinary system maintain homeostasis
The digestive and urinary systems work together to maintain homeostasis by processing food, absorbing nutrients, eliminating waste, and regulating fluid and electrolyte balance through the kidneys.
