fragments. This step is made possible by the contraction of the muscle of the stomach‚ the muscularis. Composed of three layers of fibers arranged longitudinally‚ circular and oblique‚ it mixes and kneads the food. Then begins the chemical digestion. Only the digestion of proteins begins in the stomach. The mucosa contains glands that secrete gastric juices. Under normal conditions‚ the production of juices is 2 to 3 L per day. Hydrochloric acid and enzymes are also produced by cells of the stomach. All

DIGESTION IN THE MOUTH: Food is mechanically cut by incisors and canines‚ chewed by molars and premolars‚ and mixed with saliva by the tongue. The saliva has been produced by salivary glands‚ which pour it into the mouth through salivary ducts. This process of introducing food into the mouth is called ingestion. Chewing breaks food into smaller particles so that chemical digestion can occur faster. This cutting and mixing is called mastication. Moreover‚ food is chemically digested by salivary

Respiration‚ digestion and rocks Respiration Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells. It is the way that energy is released from glucose‚ for our cells to use to keep us functioning. Remember that respiration is not the same as breathing (which is properly called ventilation). The glucose and oxygen react together in the cells to produce carbon dioxide and water. The reaction is called aerobic respiration because oxygen from the air is needed for it to work. Digestion

Digestion define as a process where foods been breaking down by enzymatic action in the Gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) into nutrients in preparation for absorption. GI tract is the flexible muscular tube from mouth to anus. The digestion of carbohydrates begin in the mouth‚ where an enzyme‚ salivary amylase (α-amylase;ptyalin) starts to breaking the polysaccharides (starch) into short polysaccharides (dextrin). Dextrin is a partial degradation of starch‚ shorter chains of maltose units. Salivary

Anaerobic digestion Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen‚ used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to release energy. The digestion process begins with bacterial hydrolysis of the input materials in order to break down insoluble organic polymers such as carbohydrates and make them available for other bacteria. Acidogenic bacteria then convert the sugars and amino acids into carbon dioxide

Does the amount of time that orange juice is swished in a human mouth affect the pH of the saliva‚ which could inhibit the digestion of the starches in the orange juice? Hypothesis: The longer 2 mL of orange juice is held in a test subject’s mouth‚ the greater the ability of the test subject’s saliva will become to break down starches. Dependent Variable: pH of the saliva. Independent Variable: time that the juice is swished in the mouth. Controlled Variables: Orange juice only. The
