digestive juices that reach the intestine through small tubes called ducts. The gallbladder stores the liver’s digestive juices until they are needed in the intestine. Digestion involves mixing food with digestive juices‚ moving it through the digestive tract‚ and breaking down large molecules of food into smaller molecules. Digestion begins in the mouth‚ when you chew and swallow‚ and is completed in the small intestine. The digestive system is important because When you eat foods—such as bread

escape from digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals.[1] Resistant starch is considered the third type of dietary fiber‚ as it can deliver some of the benefits of insoluble fiber and some of the benefits of soluble fiber. Some carbohydrates‚ such as sugars and most starch‚ are rapidly digested and absorbed as glucose into the body through the small intestine and subsequently used for short-term energy needs or stored. Resistant starch‚ on the other hand‚ resists digestion and passes

FOOD 1. Food is a basic necessity for all living things. 2. Food is important in order to : (a) Provide energy to carry out physical activities. (b) Provide energy for the physiological activities in life such as reproduction‚ digestion and excretion. (c) Build new cells and ti repair tissues in the body. (d) Protect the body from deseases. (e) Maintain the body temperature. (f) Promote growth. 3. Food can be divided into

SYSTEM The process of digestion can be fast‚ or can take some time depending on what a person has eaten. The time frame can also be affected by the person’s activity level. Food which is taken through the mouth is initially broken down by mechanical means. The teeth are responsible for grinding food‚ while the tongue assists the mixing of the food with saliva‚ which is secreted by the salivary glands‚ thereby initiating the chemical digestion of carbohydrates.

What is alcohol effect on digestion and liver? Alcohol can stop digestion and increase hydrochloric acid production. Alcohol also causes a drop in blood sugar which can lead to a hypoglycemic state. 5. Name some factors that

the greater interest. If it is desired to measure either organic or inorganic COD alone‚ additional steps not described here must be taken to distinguish one from the other. COD is a defined test; the extent of sample oxidation can be affected by digestion time‚ reagent strength‚ and sample COD concentration. COD often is used as a measurement of pollutants in wastewater and natural waters. Other related analytical values are biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)‚ total organic carbon (TOC)‚ and total oxygen

The Circulatory System The Circulatory System is designed to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body and pick up waste materials and toxins for elimination. This system is made up of the heart‚ the veins‚ the arteries‚ and the capillaries. Circulation is achieved by a continuous one-way movement of blood throughout the body. The network of blood vessels that flow through the body is so extensive that blood flows within close proximity to almost every cell. Heart The heart
