Each step in digestion requires energy‚ and thus imposes an “overhead charge” on the energy made available from absorbed substances The major part of digestion takes place in the

Throughout this paper you will find that it is going to be discussing many things. Some of those things are to describe a current health problem or nutritional need that I may be experiencing‚ four nutritional or physical exercise goals‚ the actions taken to meet each goal‚ the anticipated setbacks or difficulties and the approaches to overcome them‚ the outcomes by which to measure success‚ evidence of the plans effectiveness by addressing the identified problem or need‚ and the evaluation of potential

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

Digestive Systems in Different Animals Different species of animals have different digestive systems which are adapted to their unique requirements. The type of food‚ method of food gathering and energy needs are some factors that influence the type of digestive system an animal needs in order to survive. Herbivores have a more specialised digestive system than that of a carnivore because it is more difficult to digest vegetation than meat. The teeth are flat so that grass and plant material can

Digestive System: As with any system we are learning in this course‚ the structural anatomy and functions of each are the basis of your learning. Otherwise known as the alimentary canal‚ the best way to learn the digestive system structures and their functions is to follow some food through the process from beginning to end. Where does the food go? As food enters the mouth‚ both mechanical and chemical digestion begins. First the food is physically broken down by the mechanical process

carried out by enzymes. Mechanical digestion: Is the physical breaking down of larger food into pieces to increase its surface area (the higher the surface area‚ the higher the rate of chemical digestion. Peristalsis: the squeezing of the digestive tract that pushes food down in one direction. Bolus: the partially digested food that is swallowed after mastication. Chyme: the partially digested food mixed with the enzymes and acid in the stomach. Bile: The secretion produced by the

The goat is considered a ruminant animal. The digestive system includes the mouth‚ esophagus‚ four stomach parts‚ a cecum‚ a small intestine and a large intestine. Goats have no upper teeth so they use the dental pad‚ lower teeth‚ tongue and lips to eat their food. The four compartments to the stomach are the rumen‚ the reticulum‚ the omasum‚ and the abomasums. The esophagus is what moves food from the mouth to the stomach. It opens into the stomach at the opening of the rumen and reticulum‚ which

Digestive System Notes 2. List the major parts of the alimentary canal; then separately list the accessory organs of the digestive system. a. Mouth—the oral cavity. b. Pharynx—extends from the back of the nasal cavity to the top of the esophagus. c. Esophagus—extends from the pharynx to the stomach. d. Stomach—just below the diaphragm on the lefi side of the body. e. Small intestine—extends from the stomach to the large intestine. f. Large intestine—extends from the small intestine to the
