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‚ but unconsciously regulated by the autonomic nervous system through the release of neurotransmitters

Human Digestive System Single-celled organisms can directly take in nutrients from their outside environment. Multi-cellular animals‚ with most of their cells removed from contact directly with the outside environment‚ have developed specialized structures for obtaining and breaking down their food. The human digestive system is a complex series of organs and glands that processes food. It is a coiled‚ muscular tube (6-9 meters long when fully extended) extending from the mouth to the

THE PATH OF FOOD THROUGH THE DIGESTIVE 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

Protein in the Digestive System Taylor Adams Biol 112- 501 18 April 2016 Introduction Proteins are found in nearly all foods that we eat. Once the food we eat makes its way to our stomachs‚ pepsinogen is released from chief cells. This enzyme mixes with hydrochloric acid in the stomach and begins to break down the proteins. Along with the stomach‚ the small intestine is also an important location for protein breakdown. The proteins from both locations are broken down into amino

of the digestive system is to absorb and assimilate key nutrients which are required to maintain and regulate other systems in the body. Enzymes secreted within the digestive system have a role of breaking down food from proteins into amino acids‚ starch into glucose and fats into a mixture of fatty acids and glycerol. The main function of the respiratory system is to inhale oxygen and exhale the waste product carbon dioxide. Oxygen is breathed through the mouth and nostrils into the lungs. The gas
