Mastication is the action of chewing on food using the teeth‚ making it easy to be ingested by the body. It is known to be the first and foremost step of digestion as food can’t be swallowed effectively without it being turned into something that is easily consumable. For the jaw to be able to churn the food repeatedly‚ it requires muscles to adduct and abduct as well as give it strength to bite on hard food such as tooth-crackers. Muscles of mastication are known to be the most crucial muscles

System: 1. The digestive system of frog is mainly includes the food catching organs‚ the alimentary canal and the digestive glands. 2. In the alimentary canal the processes of mastication‚ digestion and absorption take place‚ while the digestive glands secrete certain enzymes which bring about the digestion of the ingested food. Alimentary canal: 1. The alimentary canal of the frog is essentially a colied tube of varyihng diameter that extends from one of the body to other. 2. Towards

The Physiological and Anatomical Similarities of the Human and Fetal Pig Body Abstract Through the dissection of the fetal pig‚ we were able to compare and contrast the structure and functions of the organs to those of a human. We dissected the pig and observed all the exterior and interior structures. We found that because both are mammals‚ the fetal pig’s structure was almost identical to the human body. Intro Since humans and pigs are both mammals‚ it can be very useful to study the

Filters waste products of metabolism that collect in the blood. They remove waste from the blood to form urine. The kidneys maintain balance between retention and excretion of fluids ( play key role in fluid and electrolyte balance). The normal adult urine output is 1200 to 1500 ml/ day. An output less than 30 ml/hr indicates possible circulatory‚ blood volume

The body is made up of a number of systems that all interlink and produce everything we need in order to survive. Within the body there is the digestive system; the circulatory system‚ the nervous system‚ the muscular system‚ the skeletal system and the reproductive system. These systems are all part of one another and they share organs‚ tissues and cells and that is how they interlink. The diagram above shows each system and where they are located in the body. Each system is shown in a different
