Mechanical digestion happens in the mouth with the movements of the jaws and teeth and within the stomach and the intestine this is by the churning action of the muscular walls. Chemical digestion is by a series of specific enzymes in which are produced within numerous regions of the alimentary canal. The salivary glands produce an enzyme called amylase

The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is found in Tasmania and the eastern and southeastern coast of Australia. They live in burrows that they dig on riverbanks as well as under rock ledges‚ roots and debris. Platypuses are nocturnal and spend most of their time hunting for food. They are carnivores‚ hunting food along rivers‚ streams‚ lakes and ponds. When they find something‚ they scoop it up with their bills and store it in their cheek pouches until they reach the surface. They do not have

Disorders of the Digestive System Hyperacidity Excessive secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach is hyperacidity‚ which is technically known as hyperchlorohydria. It causes heart burn (Severe pain and burning sensation in the epigastric region due to hyperacidity is called heartburn) . Hyperacidity leads to ulcers. causes 1. Medicines like aspirin 2.

that if the food was smaller it could digest quicker and easier. But most people do not know what happens to their food after they have chewed it up and swallowed it. Some may think that right after the food is swallowed‚ it goes straight to the stomach. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the path food follows as it goes through the digestive system. Amount of Time it Takes It does not really take long for the food we eat to go through the digestive system considering

protective layer of the stomach or the lining of the intestine is broken down. When this occurs‚ the stomach’s digestive fluids‚ which contain hydrochloric acid and an enzyme called pepsin‚ can damage the intestine as well as the stomach (webmd). Ulcers tend to occur in all age ranges‚ but specifically in males in their early to late sixties. Inflammatory drugs may contribute to the cause of developing a peptic ulcer‚ these drugs block the body’s ability to protect the stomach lining. An imbalance between

Structures and functions of the Digestion System This essay aims to explain the structure and functions of the digestion system‚ starting from consuming a cooked dinner to chemical and physical changes within the body‚ to prepare or help absorption of vital nutrients and help disposal of waste. The structure of the digestive system starts with the gastrointestinal tract‚ it is a tube that runs from the mouth to the anus and because of this some scientist says it is an external organ; there

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 helps transfer both gases

If control tubes 3‚ 4‚ or 5 were not done‚ then what is perceived as digestion might really be starch or maltose contamination. Saliva would not be active in the stomach because the stomach pH is too low. Boiling inactivates‚ or denatures‚ enzymes. 10. Tubes 2‚ 6‚ and 7 showed the effect of pH on amylase activity. The results of this experiment indicate that the activity maximum of amylase is at pH 7.0‚ whereas pH 2.0 and
