Elements of the conduction system: • 1.) The SA node (PACEMAKER) generates impulses • 2.) The impulses pause at the AV node • 3.) The AV bundle connects the atria to the ventricles • 4.)

Structure and Function of the Human Digestive System By Caitlin Ong Organs of the Digestive System Mouth Structure: The mouth consists of the upper and lower jaw‚ that contain gums which hold teeth‚ the roof of the mouth is the palate and the tongue occupies the floor of the mouth. The salivary glands have ducts that open in the mouth. Function: The mouth is where the first step of digestion begins. Known as mechanical digestion‚ this involves chewing with your teeth to break the food

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 for the body. How the Urinary and Digestive Systems Work Together to Maintain

The cardiovascular system is a closed organ system that is found within humans and other vertebrates. The heart consists of the right and left ventricle‚ right and left atrium‚ aorta‚ capillaries‚ pulmonary arteries and veins and the anterior and posterior vena cava. All of the following structures maintain the heart’s beating cycle and the circulation of blood throughout the body. Three main types of blood vessels: Arteries - Thick-walled tubes in which blood is brought from the heart to various

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

The human respiratory system is adapted to allow air to pass in and out of the body and also for efficient gas exchange to occur. The respiratory system includes air passages‚ pulmonary vessels‚ the lungs‚ and breathing muscles. Most of the organs of the respiratory system help to distribute air‚ but only the tiny alveoli and the alveolar ducts are responsible for the gas exchange. Mouth - The mouth is the secondary exterior opening for the respiratory system. Most commonly‚ the majority of respiration

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

Respiratory System The respiratory system is the bodies way to inhale and exhale air and diffuse oxygen. This system consists of several organs such as the trachea‚ lungs‚ larynx‚ pharynx‚ etc. All of these organs work together to help us breathe and are formed to their function. There is two different ways of respiration; external respiration which is the exchange of gases between the alveoli and the blood‚ and internal respiration which is the exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells
