Q

How do we get our energy from food

A

food we eat has chemical energy stored in
it.
-the energy is released by breaking the food down in digestion
-chemical-mechanical
-chemical-thermal

Q

Uvula

A

hangs down back of soft palate

18
Q

Teeth

A

role is to masticate (chew)

19
Q

Salivary glands

A

CHEMICAL DIGESTION
-produce saliva
-AMYLASE: breaks down starches

20
Q

Pharynx

A

passageway for food and air

21
Q

Epiglottis

A

routes food and water toward the esophagus
-keeps moving food to esophagus via peristalsis- pushing

22
Q

Esophagus

A

runs from pharynx through the diaphragm
-pushes food by peristalsis
-passageway for FOOD ONLY

23
Q

Sphincters

A

circular guard muscles
-regulate entrance and release of material

24
Q

Stomach

A

MECHANICAL DIGESTION
-churns, mixes, stores food
-produce HCI and PEPSIN- break down of proteins (denature)
-CHYME:processed food mash

25
Blood- hepatic portal circulation
blood leaving digestive organs is cleaned by the liver and dumped in the vena cava
26
Food homeostasis contol
Vagus nerve
27
Brain part regulates and amplifies hunger signals?
Medulla oblengte and hypothalamus
28
Rugae of mucosa
Folds in the stomach -helps increase surface area
29
Liver
largest internal organ -Bile: breaks down fats into smaller fats - 500 functions- blood clotting, toxin removal, protein synthesis, metabolism etc. -connected to gallbladder via HEPATIC DUCT
30
Gallbladder
Sac found in fossa of liver -stores bile (breaks down fats) from the liver -bile is introduced into duodenum in presence of fatty foods
31
Irrhosis
lived becoems fatty and scarred etc.
32
Pancreas
produces pancreatic fluid that breaks down all categories of food! -pancreatic fluid is secreted into duodenum -BREAKS DOWN pretty much every bio molecule
33
Small intestine
Villi and microvilla: allow nutrient absorption into the blood-increase surface area -20 ft -held in place by mesentery (CT)
34
3 parts of Small intestine
-duodenum (attached to tummy and curves around head of pancreas) -jejunum (attaches anteriorly to duodenum) -Ileum (extends from jejunum to large int.)
35
large intestine
COLON -ileocecal valve allowed chyme to enter -water absorption center -helpful bacteria- feed on fiber/water -vitamins B and K -thicker and shorter
36
Vitamin B
Helps digest and utilize food energy
37
Vitamin C
fight infection help build collagen
38
Mammillary glands
Secret milk
39
Rectum
Stores waste until released
40
Anus
excretes waste from body
