Purpose The digestive system prepares food for use by hundreds of millions of body cells. Food when eaten cannot reach cells (because it cannot pass through the intestinal walls to the bloodstream and‚ if it could would not be in a useful chemical state. The gut modifies food physically and chemically and disposes of unusable waste. Physical and chemical modification (digestion) depends on exocrine and endocrine secretions and controlled movement of food through the digestive tract. Mouth Mouth

What are the shapes and designations of the f orbitals? The exotic‚ complex f orbital shapes are rarely shown in textbooks. General (and organic) chemistry traditionally focuses on the lighter elements‚ but the forbitals aren’t occupied in the ground state until element 58 (cerium). Even for elements beyond cerium‚ the f orbitals are deeply buried beneath the valence shell and they rarely play an important role in chemical change or bonding. However‚ the orbital shapes can be useful in interpreting

The purpose of this essay is to research and evaluate the digestive system effectively and extensively. Then describe the differences and indifferences of three different organisms in relation to their digestive system. The three organisms that have been chosen are the human‚ for comparative purposes‚ the Goliath Bird Eating Spider and the Cobra Lily carnivorous plant. The Human Digestive System Digestion is the breaking down of substance in the body‚ into an easier form of which it can be absorbed

Biology Mammals Grazing Herbivore: Herbivores digestive systems can consist of one of two types of insides‚ it can be a foregut fermenter where the Foregut Fermeters has two parts (a tubiform and a sacciform fore stomach) containing lots of microbes. The stomach is bigger than that of a hindgut fermenter considering its usually a bigger animal‚ the stomach has an extra chamber to help devour glucose from the cellulose (the herbivores diet is largely cellulose and is broken down by the microbes)

Teeth * Tears and grind the food‚ breaking it down into smaller fragments. * By the age of 21‚ two sets of teeth have been formed. Deciduous teeth (baby teeth or milk teeth) * Begins to erupt around 6 months ‚ and a baby has a full set of (20 teeth) by the age of 2 years. Permanent Teeth * Enlarge and develop‚ the roots of the milk are reabsorbed‚ and between the ages of 6 and 12 they loosen and fall out. * The teeth are classified according to shape and function as incisors
