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

Q

What is the final step that takes place in the mouth?

A

Food rolled into bolus, pushed by tongue into pharynx

Q

What is the pharynx?

A

Area back of mouth where the windpipe coming from nose, cross the oesophagus.
Part between mouth cavity and oesophagus

  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
Q

What is HCI?

A

Antiseptic kill pathogens like bacteria

54
Q

What is the function of the liver?

A

Produce bile (stored in gallbladder)
Storehouse for minerals eg iron; vitamins A; B; D
Detoxification harmful substances (alcohol)

55
Q

How is the enzymes secreted in the pancreas?

A

Pancreatic duct secrete pancreatic juice

56
Q

What enzymes does pancreatic juice contain?

A

Amylase

57
Q

Where does the most digestion take place?

A

In the small intestine,more specifically, the duodenum

58
Q

What enzymes are in the duodenum?

A

Maltase
Lipase
Sucrase

59
Q

What is chyle and where is it found?

A

Chyle is a mix of many small soluble molecules (amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol, glucose, fructose, vitamins, minerals) - soluble molecules absorbed into bloodstream

60
Q

What does the ileum have to aid in digestion?

A
  • ridges
  • folds
  • walls covered with villi to increase surface area
61
Q

What is the parts of the large intestine?

A

Caecum, appendix, colon, rectum, anus

62
Q

What indigestible materials does the colon receive?

A

Plant fibers, cellulose, bacteria, dead cells dislodged by friction in intestinal walls, mucus, large quantity water, bile salts, some minerals/vitamins

63
Q

What is absorbed in the colon?

A

Water, minerals, some vitamins (K;B)

64
Q

What does the colon do with the chyle?

A

Compact digestible residue semi - solid feaces

65
Q

How is feaces release?

A

defecation anus, controlled by anal sphincter muscle

66
Q

What is the caecum?

A

Pouch - like structure receives chyle from ileum

67
Q

What is the appendix?

A

Finger - like tube attached to caecum.

68
Q

What enzyme does salivary glands produce and what is its function?

A

Salivary enzymes: starch to maltose

69
Q

What enzymes does the pancreas produce and what is its function?

A

Pancreatic amylase: starch - maltose
Trypsin: polypeptides - amino acids
Lipase: lipids - fatty acids and glycerol

70
Q

What enzymes does the small intestine produce and and what is its function?

A

Lipase: lipids - fatty acids and glycerol
Maltase: maltose - glucose

71
Q

What enzyme does the stomach produce and what is its function?

A

Pepsin: proteins - polypeptides

72
Q

What is swallowing?

A

Substance through mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, shutting epiglottis automatically.

73
Q

What is the process of swallowing before peristalsis takes place?

A
  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
Q

What is the process of peristalsis?

A

Circular muscles behind bolus contract, longitudinal muscles relax.
Circular muscles muscles ahead bolus relax, longitudinal muscles contract.
Antagonistic muscle action.

75
Q

A

8 incisors
4 canines
8 premolars
12 molars

76
Q

How may teeth do young children have?

A

8 molars
8 incisors
4 canines

77
Q

What is the shape and function of incisors?

A

Front teeth
Chisel shaped
Biting;cutting

78
Q

What is the shape and function of canines?

A

Pointed teeth

Grasping; tearing

79
Q

What is the shape and function of premolars?

A

Ridges, furrowed

Crushing, grinding, chewing

80
Q

What is the shape and function of molars?

A

4 cusps, 3 roots

Crushing, chewing, grinding

81
Q

What is the importance of fluoride in toothpaste?

A

Increase strength of enamel

Protect teeth from decay

82
Q

What are the causes of decay?

A

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
Q

Why is baking soda good for your teeth?

A

Neutralizes acids in mouth

84
Q

Why is antibacterial agents good for your mouth?
