Terms To Know
100
Skeletal to digestive
What is "The teeth, which are considered bones, are a very important part of the digestive system. They help the physical/mechanical digestion process. They do this by breaking down food that enters the mouth, into smaller pieces."?
100
Mouth function
What is" breaks down food which will enter the esophagus."
100
Large intestine
What is " Lined with bacteria, large muscular tube and is shorter than the small intestine."
100
Liver structure
What is " Located on the right side of the stomach. Largest and heaviest organ. Once bile is produced, it moves to the gallbladder. Also known as a chemical factory."
100
These substances are necessary for growth, to store energy and to repair and/or to replace living material.
What is " Metabolism
200
Muscular to Digestive
What is "There are many organs in the digestive system that are made up of smooth muscle. One example is the esophagus. It's a smooth muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach"?
200
Esophagus function
What is" pathway from the mouth to the stomach, allowing it to travel properly."
200
small intestine
What is " It's 2.5 cm in diameter, made of smooth muscles which moves involuntarily to move food, cells line the wall to release intestinal juice containing enzymes.
200
Gallbladder structure
What is "Muscular bag at the rear of the liver. It's under the right lobe and is shaped like a pear."
200
The chemical process that generates most of the energy in the cell, supplying molecules needed to make the metabolic reactions of an organism run.
What is " Cellular Respiration"
300
Respiratory to digestive
What is "The digestive system breaks down food. The result of breaking down food is called nutrients. This energy is used by the many organs in the body. The main organs in the respiratory system are the lungs, heart and the diaphragm. So, the respiratory's main organs depend on the digestive system to get the nutrients they need in order to function.
300
Stomach function
What is " breaks down food with enzyme pepsin, hydrochloric acid and thick slippery mucus. This is where a lot of the chemical digestion happens.
300
Stomach
What is " j-shaped muscular organ connected to the end of the esophagus. Contains cells which have gastric juice. Has a thick coating of mucus as a lining to protect the stomach."
300
Pancreas function
What is " 99% of its cells make digestive enzymes to aid in the digestion process. The remaining 1% release hormones, insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream."
300
Water that passes through a cell membrane by a special type of diffusion. The water molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in order to keep the cell from dying out.
What is "Osmosis"
400
circulatory to digestive
What is "The broken down particles of food travel through the villi into the bloodstream in order to give the nutrients to all parts of the body. The liver helps in this process by constantly checking the blood with food.
400
small Intestine function
What is " contains intestinal juices, it helps break down food, gets help from the liver, pancreas and gallbladder
400
Esophagus
What is " Smooth muscle force food into a pipe-shaped tube. Known as a gullet. Lined with a slippery mucus to help food travel.
400
Liver Function
What is " aids in digestion by producing substance called bile. Cells are constantly processing blood with food. It adjusts food content before blood is absorbed, stores/releases glucose."
400
Food is broken down into molecules for the body to utilize
What is " Chemical digestion"
500
excretory to digestive
What is " The digestive system pushes out waste into the bloodstream. The blood with the food waste is filtered by the liver. The liver is an important part of the excretory system. Once the blood with the food is processed, the excess is excreted.
500
large intestine funtion
What is" Absorbs water into the bloodstream. The remaining waste is pushed out through muscle contraction
500
Mouth
What is " Contains salivary glands which produces a liquid called saliva. 4 types of taste-buds covering tongue. Contains a tongue. Contains teeth(incisors, molars, and canine)
500
gallbladder function
What is " It stores bile produced by liver cells, used to digest fatty foods, When food is being digested, gallbladder squirts bile into duodenum. Bile salts turn fats into tiny droplets, so they can be digested easily and rapidly by the enzymes."
500
The physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces.
What is " Mechanical digestion"
