    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

    chemical breaking down of food into smaller components‚ to a form that can be absorbed‚ for instance‚ into a blood stream. Digestion is a form of catabolism; a break down of macro food molecules to smaller ones. The digestive process also involves creating waste to be eliminated. The digestive track (gut) is a long twisting tube that starts in the mouth and ends at anus. It’s made up of a series of muscles that coordinate the movement of food and other cells that produce enzymes and hormones‚ to aid in

    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

    Abstract The human body needs to maintain proper homeostasis to survive. There are several different organ systems in the human body. Two of those systems are the digestive system and the urinary system. Both systems remove waste from the body but in an entirely different way. They also maintain homeostasis within our blood stream. Both systems are critical for survival. This paper will describe how each of those systems works on its own and also how they work together to maintain homeostasis

    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)
