Digestive system

Digestive System Function Overview Our digestive system is responsible for in-taking and digesting the food that we consume and extracting what we need to carry out day-to-day actions. If you’re interested in how this is achieved, then this article should serve you well in ascertaining that knowledge. Part 1: Digestive System Function 1. Mouth The first part of the digestive system, or tract, is the mouth. The mouth provides an important role in the consumption of food at is the primary…

which contains digestive enzymes, and becomes slippery. This enables the food to become easier to swallow, allowing it an easier passage as it move into the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and finally the colon, which allows it to be evacuated from the body through the rectum. The oral cavity is important to the digestive system because it allows the food to be broken down into smaller pieces in order for it to enter the digestive system easily and allow for the digestive system to…

and shark digestive system. A shark’s digestive system begins at the mouth and ends at either a cloaca or anus. The shark processes food which moves by peristalsis through digestion, absorption and elimination. The general pattern of the digestive system for a shark is through the oral cavity, to the pharynx, oesophagus, stomach and intestine (see figure one). The accessory organs for the shark are the pancreas, liver and gallbladder, all arise as evaginations from the embryonic digestive tract.…

The digestive organs of the lower torso include lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which consists of the small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Several accessory organs, such as the liver and pancreas, assist the lower GI tract with the digestion of food to release nutrients. The food is digested completely and at this time all of the nutrients have been absorbed into the bloodstream. Bacteria also assist the digestion of food and its converting into feces for defaction. There is an acidic…

purpose of this lab was to determine if the digestive system of the fetal pig is similar to the human digestive system. The digestive system is an organ system in which food is broken down so nutrients can be absorbed by the body. The structure of the digestive system is not the same in all organisms-in fact, there are four types of digestive systems. The most common digestive system is the monogastric digestive system. The monogastric digestive system occurs in organisms with a single-chambered…

esophagus. The tongue is a part of the digestive system because it aids in the digestion of food. Saliva: The saliva is found all throughout the pigs digestive system but mainly in the mouth. It is a clear liquid that functions as a lubricant to allow food to pass from the mouth to the esophagus easier. This clear liquid is a crucial part of digestion, and it unofficially belongs to the digestive system. Teeth: The teeth are a very important part of the digestive system that is found in…

work together in order to get food from one point of the body to the end. The major layers in the digestive tract include the submucosa (areolar tissue), muscularis externa (region of smooth muscle fibers), serosa that is located in the peritoneal cavity. The digestive tract includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Some accessory organs of the digestive tract include the teeth, tongue, and various glandular organs such as salivary glands, liver and…

mouth to the anus through a muscular tube. The space in between the muscular tube is called the lumen. The connection of the GI tract includes the mouth, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and anus. Each part plays an important role in the digestive system to help break down enzymes with hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is the process of using water to break down the enzymes into smaller pieces. The mouth is where the digestion process starts. Your teeth are used to break down the food into smaller…

The Human Digestive System is the bodily system where the organs (mouth, throat, colon, small intestines, esophagus, stomach, rectum and anus) all get to interact with each other. The function of the Human Digestive System is to break down and process foods that’s consumed and also get rid of waste from the body. (BOOK) Homeostasis is shown by the human digestive system through the process of disintegrating foods into different ways that can be consumed and controlled by bodily cells. In this…

Salmonella is very common, more than 1,000,000 people are infected annually(CNN). Salmonella is most common in South America due to a lot of meat and poultry consumed there. The salmonella bacteria affects the Digestive System, it also affects the vitals if it reaches the bloodstream. The digestive System is in charge of breaking down the food that is consumed, and if the Salmonella bacteria is in it it won’t be able to do its job. The Blood stream carries blood around the body, if salmonella…
