14
Q
4 stages of food processing
A
- Ingestion
- taking in/eating food
- Digestion
- breakdown of food by mechanical & chemical means
- Absorption
- transport from the digestive system into the circulatory system
- Elimination
- the removal of undigested solid waste
15
Q
Mesentery
A
Skin that holds structures together
16
Q
Peritoneal sac

Protects the abdominal cavity
17
Q
The mouth
A
- Food triggers salivary glands to secrete saliva
- 3 pairs of salivary glands
- Amylase (an enzyme) in saliva breaks down starches into simpler sugar
- Teeth bite, tear, and grind food
18
Q
Diagram of the mouth
A
19
Q
The esophagus
A
- A hollow muscular tube that uses peristalsis to move food down it
- While eating, the epiglottis covers the trachea to prevent choking, uvula blocks the nasal cavity
- Entrance to stomach controlled by esophageal sphincter
20
Q
Bolus
A
- A smooth ball of food which is moulded by your tongue as you chew
21
Q
The stomach
A
- Muscular j-shaped organ with walls folded like an accordion that allow it to expand
- Lined with millions of gastric glands that secrete gastric juice
- HCl, salts, enzymes, water, mucus
- Pepsin-protein digestion (pepsinogen is inactive)
- 3 layers of muscle fibres
- Bolus becomes chyme
- Pyloric sphincter keeps food in
22
Q
Stomach on a cell level
A
- Chief cells produce pepsinogen, is converted to pepsin by hydrochloric acid
- Goblet cells produce the mucous lining that protects the epithelium from the acidic env. of the gastric lumen
23
Q
Small intestine
A
- Part of the alimentary canal in which digestion is completed
- Walls are folded to speed up absorption
- Folds covered in finger-like projections called villi & microvilli
- Duodenum, jejunum, and ileum
24
Q
Duodenum
A
- As food passes through it, it combines the chyme with secretions from the pancreas & gall bladder
25
Q
Jejumum
A
- Contains more folds than duodenum & breaks down proteins & carbs
26
Q
Ileum
A
- Absorbs nutrients before the large intestine
27
Q
Accessory organs
A
Pancreas, liver, and gall bladder
28
Q
Pancreas
A
- Secretes fluid into the duodenum
- Fluid contains enzymes that chemically digest carbs, lipids, & proteins
- Fluid also contains bicarbonate, which alters the pH of the chyme
29
Q
Liver
A
- Largest internal organ
- Secretes bile, emulsifying fat
30
Q
Gall bladder
A
- Stores bile & salts for fat digestion
31
Q
Factors that affect enzyme action
A
- Temperature
- More energy is added at higher temps, enzyme activity increases, and chemical bonds can become too weak to maintain the enzyme shape (denatured)
- pH
- Optimal temp: 37ºc
- Optimal pH: 6-8
32
Q
Large intestine
A
- Absorbs water from the alimentary canal
- Any remaining material moves into the large intestine
- ## Billions of anaerobic bacterial in the colon break down undigested matter further
33

49
Q
Incomplete dominance
A
- Heterozygotes blend the colour of two parents
- ex. a rose with CᴿCᴿ (red) x CᵂCᵂ (white) mix to create CᴿCᵂ (pink).
- Use a capital letter and superscript letter (CᴿCᴿ)
50
Q
Co-dominance
A
- Both alleles for a trait are dominant and are fully expressed in a heterozygous individual
- When both are shown, called a ROAN
- Spotted or speckled
51
Q

A
- Iᴬ, Iᴮ, i
- Blood type O is homozygous recessive

- An allele found on one of the chromosomes (X or Y)
- Only one type of allele
- ex. XᴴY x XᴴXʰ
53
Q
Hemizygous
A
- Males are hemizygous because you cannot have an allele on the Y chromosome
- They cannot be heterozygous or homozygous.
