if something gets chewed and swallowed what path does it take?
Food gets chewed up in the mouth mixing saliva trying to breakdown the food then it travels through the esophagus, to the stomach which further breaks down more food to the small and large intestine which help absorb nutrients from the food that the body needs to absorb.
how does a muscle contract?
acetyhline is released from the end of a motor neuron then travels across the synaptic ga to try and stimulate skeletal fibers which then lead to calcium ions to diffuse into skeletal fibers and bind with tropoin then actin and myosin bind tgther which makes the muscle get shorter and cholinesterase becomes acetycholine and calcium ions diffuse out the muscle and breaks the actin and myosin links causing the muscle to relax.
What happens when you take a breath?
When you inhale the air goes through you nose or mouth and travels to your trachea through the bronchi and into the bronchioles into the alveoli, carbon dioxide goes from the capillaries into the alveoli which gets exhaled out of your body and does it all over again
