Chew Your Food SLOWLY When people think digestion they most often think of intestines and their stomach. The truth is that the digestion process actually begins in the mouth. The process of chewing is a vital component of the digestive process. The action of chewing mechanically breaks down very large amounts of food molecules into smaller particles. This results in food having increased in surface area‚ an important contributing factor to good digestion. Chewing your food well allows the food to

List the substrate and the subunit product of amylase. _starch & maltose respectively__ 2. What effect did boiling and freezing have on enzyme activity? Why? How well did the results compare with your prediction?__Boiling caused amylase to be denatured‚ thus inactivating the enzyme. Freezing has no effect. The function of an enzyme is directly related

Free State‚ 4 August 2012 ABSTRACT The aim of this study was firstly to determine if any heavy metals were present in the paint used on toy cars‚ and secondly to determine what other elements‚ and in which quantities‚ were present. Two different digestion methods were followed‚ and both confirmed the presence of Ba and Fe‚ although the concentrations obtained by each method differed: higher values m/m% was obtained for all samples digested by HCl than for samples digested by acetic acid.

When rationally thinking about the gastrointestinal tract or digestion‚ nearly all of its functions are regulated by the autonomic nervous system‚ or involuntary‚ meaning that we do not consciously have to contemplate digestion for digestion to occur. With this being stated‚ it would make sense that almost the entire gastrointestinal tract is made up of smooth muscle. Smooth muscle is very distinctive from the other types of muscle in the body due to the fact that it is not controlled consciously

(P4) the digestion system The digestive system is also known as the alimentary canal from the mouth to the anus. Digestion is a process in which insoluble food is broken down into particles which are made into soluble particles enough to be absorbed and to be used by the body and into the bloodstream. These soluble particles are major

Comparative Anatomy Investigation Aim: To create a scientific comparison between the Integumentary and Digestive systems between a mammal (i.e. Rat) and an amphibian (i.e. Toad). A dissection of both a rat and a toad had been completed to make a comparison between an amphibian and a mammal. In specific the Integumentary system and the Digestive system were closely observed and studied. This comparison will first investigate the Integumentary system and all similarities and differences the

organ of the alimentary canal The alimentary canal includes the mouth‚ pharynx‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small intestine‚ large intestine‚ andanal canal Mouth Food enters the digestive tract through the mouth. The labia (lips) protect its anterior opening‚ the cheeks form its lateral walls‚ the hard palate forms its anterior roof‚ and the soft palate forms its posterior roof. The space between the lips and cheeks externally and the teeth and gums internally is the vestibule. The area contained by

The epidermis allows the sunlight to readily penetrate through the leave for photosynthesis. 8) Explain the difference between mechanical and chemical digestion. Mechanical digestion is the actual physical break down of food into smaller pieces; for example‚ using teeth to grind food into smaller bits for it to go down throats.
