Digestion is the process in which the body breaks down food into particles that can be used for nourishment. The stomach is not the only organ involved in the digestion process. A series of organs comprise the human digestive tract‚ including the mouth‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small intestines‚ liver and large intestine. Each organ in the digestive tract plays an integral part in the digestive process. The food enters the mouth‚ where it is masticated and prepped for digestion. The mouth is comprised

Date: Animal System Introduction This essay focuses on the digestive system of ruminant animals like cattle‚ sheep‚ and goats. Ruminant animals are hoofed mammals that have a digestive system which enables them to utilize energy from fibrous plant material better than other herbivores. Unlike monogastric animals such as pigs and poultry‚ the digestive system or ruminants is designed to ferment feedstuffs and provide precursors for energy for the animal to use. Ruminant Digestive system The digestive

The digestive system is very important to the body. Without it‚ we would not be able to live. It is a series of hollow organs joined in a long‚ twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The tubes actually are about 30 feet long if they were stretched out‚ but seem smaller because of the way they are wrapped around. The main parts are the mouth‚ teeth‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small intestines‚ large intestines‚ colon‚ rectum‚ and anus. The pancreas‚ gallbladder‚ and liver are also key parts because of

Circulatory system is an organ system where nutrients pass through. Cardiovascular and lymphatic systems make up the complete circulatory system. Arteries‚ veins‚ and the heart are the main organs in the circulatory system. Examples of nutrients that are passed through are electrolytes‚ amino acids and lymph. Also other substances passed through the specific organ system are gases‚ hormones and blood cells to and from cells. The reason the substances are passed through the circulatory system is to fight

Cystic Fibrosis is a life threatening condition that causes severe damage to the lungs and digestive system. Developing this condition can change a person’s entire life. Depending on the severity of the condition a person can be affected by mild symptoms such as shortness of breath‚ all the way to severe symptoms such as rectal prolapse‚ or even death. Screening is done on infants in all 50 states; therefore if a child has inherited Cystic Fibrosis it will be known in the first months of life. As

physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. (P4) In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body‚ the Respiration system and the Digestive system. I will start off by giving a definition of energy metabolism in the body. Metabolism in the body is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body’s cells. Metabolism converts the nutrients in the food that we eat in to essential

proteins that cause a specific chemical change in all parts of the body (David C. Dugdale‚ 2011). When we understand enzymes we understand cells (Marshall Brian‚ 2001). In many organisms most chemical reactions are catalyzed -when a substance speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction- by enzymes. Each enzyme controls a certain function that happens in a cell. Still each one has its own process and rate that it converts molecules. Studying enzymes shows how chemical reactions work. Without enzymes‚ chemical

The Digestion process The digestive process is important in maintaining the lives of living organisms and in providing them with needed energy and nutrition. Groups of organs‚ such as the mouth‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ intestines‚ pancreas‚ and gal bladder work together to perform this complex task. Digestion is the process of breaking down food from large molecules into small ones to make it easier for absorption. The three major steps involved in the digestive process are ingestion‚ digestion‚ and
