  • detritus
32
Q
  • feed on large masses of food
  • active predators
A

macrophagy

33
Q

example of macrophagous animals

A
  • octopus
  • mollusks
34
Q
  • consume liquid food or nutrients directly from their source
  • typically have specialized mouthparts or adaptations that allow them to pierce or suck fluids from plants, animals, or other sources

elongated sucking mouthpart that is typically tubular and flexible

A

proboscises

37
Q

small style, especially a piercing mouthpart of an insect

A

38
Q

44
Q

breaking of large and complex molecules of the food, after which, they become absorbable and available for use in the ody

A

digestion

45
Q

Different types of digestion

A
  1. mechanical digestion
  2. chemical digestion
46
Q
  • purely physical process that does not change the chemical nature of the food
  • it makes the food smaller to increase both surface area and mobility
A

Mechanical digestion

47
Q
  • process where complex molecules like proteins, fats, and carbohydrates are broken down into smaller pieces that your body can use
  • requires special proteins called enzymes
A

Chemical digestion

48
Q

Different types of digestion based on where it happens

A
  1. Intracellular digestion
  2. Extracellular digestion
49
Q

refers to nutrient processing and absorption that occurs inside of cells within special structures known as lysosomes

A

Intracellular digestion

50
Q

in intracellular digestion, what captures the food

A

vacuole

51
Q

example of organisms that have intracellular digestion

A
  • protozoans
  • poriferans
52
Q

represents the process of food digestion and nutrient absorption that occurs outside of the cell.

A

extracellular digestion

53
Q

Phases of Digestion

A
  1. cephalic phase
  2. gastric phase
  3. intestinal phase
  4. hormones of the digestive system
54
Q
  • occurs before food enters the stomach, especially while it is being eaten
  • gastric secretion is initiated by the sight, smell, thought or taste of food.
  • Neurological signals originate from the cerebral cortex and in the appetite centers of the amygdala and hypothalamus.
  • enhanced secretory activity is a conditioned reflex.
  • This phase of secretion normally accounts for about 20 percent of the gastric secretion associated with eating a meal
A

cephalic phase

55
Q

second phase of digestion that follows mastication (chewing) and takes place in the stomach

A

gastric phase

56
Q

Three chemicals that stimulate gastric secretion

A
  1. Acetylcholine (ACh)
  2. Histamine
  3. Gastrin
57
Q

occurs in the duodenum as a response to the arriving chyme, and it moderates gastric activity via hormones and nervous reflexes

A

intestinal phase

58
Q

thick, semifluid mass of partly digested food that is passed from the stomach to the duodenum.

A

chyme

59
Q

Five major hormones that aid and regulate the digestive system

A
  1. gastrin (stomach)
  2. secretin (small intestine)
  3. cholecytokinin (small intestine)
  4. gastric inhibitory peptide (small intestine)
  5. motilin (small intestine)
60
Q
  • tiny finger-like projections found on the surface of certain cells
  • increase the surface area of the cell’s apical surface, resulting in more effective absorption or secretion of substances
A
