function of stomach

A

The stomach does both mechanical (mixing) and chemical digestion (enzymes). Stomach acids can kill bacteria.

73
Q

small intestine definition

A

A tube that does most of the chemical digestion of food and most of the nutrient absorption.

74
Q

from what other organs does the small intestine receive stuff from

A

stomach, gall bladder, and pancreas.

75
Q

villi definition

A

fingerlike projections that are covered with tiny nutrient-absorbing cells that pass nutrients on to the bloodstream.

76
Q

Large Intestine

A

A short, but large in diameter tube that stores, compacts, and then eliminates indigestible material from the body. (water and vitamin absorption occurs here)

77
Q

Rectum

A

Last section of the large intestine. (stores feces until they are expelled)

78
Q

Anus

An opening that feces pass through to the outside of the body.

79
Q

what are the 4 accessory organs

A

Pancreas
Salivary Glands
Liver
Gall Bladder

Q

def. of Salivary Glands

A

Glands that produce a liquid that contains an enzyme that begins the chemical digestion of carbohydrates and is watery to make food easier to swallow.

81

An organ located between the stomach and small intestine that makes pancreatic enzymes to help chemically break down food and produces a bicarbonate to neutralize the acids in the small intestine from the stomach.

A

Pancreas

82
Q

Liver

A

A large reddish brown organ next to the stomach that stores nutrients and helps with digestion by producing bile that helps chemical digest lipids (fats). Bile made by the liver is stored in the gall bladder.

excretory system

A

A collection of organs whose primary function is to remove wastes from the body across a membrane.

90
Q

why is the urinary system an excretory system?

A

because it removes urine across a nephron in the kidneys

Q

path of urinary tract

A

Kidney——Ureter——–Urinary Bladder——Urethra-

100
Q

STAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR

what is the order in which blood is cleaned and urine is formed??? (5 steps)

A

1.Large arteries bring blood into each kidney.

  1. Water and other small substances are forced out of the blood vessels and into the nephrons.
    1. The cleaned blood, with slightly less water and less waste material, leaves each kidney in a large vein to recirculate in the body.
    2. The urine that remains in the nephrons leave each kidney through a tube called the ureter and flows into the bladder where it is stored.
      1. Urine leaves the body through a tube called the urethra.
100
Q

Why does the cardiovascular system need the digestive system?

A

by supplying the blood with glucose/nutrients

100
Q

why does the cardiovascular system need the urinary system?

A

urinary system cleans the blood of nitrogen wastes (urea in your urine) for the cardiovascular system.

100
Q

why does the digestive system need the cardiovascular system?

A

by delivering nutrients to and removing waste products from all of its organs (stomach, liver, both intestines)

100
Q

what digestion things do all organisms do? (4)

A
  1. take in food
  2. Mechanically and Chemically digest food
  3. absorb nutrient
    4.Eliminate waste products
100
Q

The muscular system helps the urinary how?

A

by holding in and releasing urine from the urinary bladder

100
Q

The muscular system helps the digestive how?

A

by helping push food through the digestive tract by peristalsis with smooth muscle
