IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER FANTASTIC VOYAGE 2 Alright everyone, it’s time for us to set sail on yet another fun filled adventure. I am once again a video reporter, but this time I am actually piloting a mini-sub. The mini-sub that I am piloting has been put through a miniaturization process making me and the sub only 8 microns long. Unfortunately, I have been swallowed by a 55 year old man eating a hamburger, french fries and drinking a root bear. Please join me as I pilot my sub through the gastrointestinal tract and travel my way down. I will also be describing any major organs that I may pass through as I go on this journey and also what happens to the meal during the digestion process. Alright, let’s begin! …show more content…
Our digestive system is the parts of the body that takes in the nutrition and then breaks it down so that our body cells can use it. Each body part has a specific role to play in digestion and use of food. In this way the nutrition is usable when transported to the cells. It consists of the alimentary canal, which is the long tube within our bodies that starts with the mouth and ends with the anus (“Human Nutrition,” 2011). It also consists of our salivary glands, as well as the pancreas and the liver. My saliva is set in the flow of a motion by my brain reflex that sets in whenever I see or smell food. Amylase is an enzyme that breaks starch down into sugar. It is often present in human saliva, where it begins the chemical process of digestion (Princeton University,

    The gastrointestinal tract starts with the mouth, which leads to the gullet via the stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and ends at the anus. In due course of the journey, the ingested food is broken down by both physical and chemical means to release nutrients which are absorbed into the blood stream. The ingested food is physically broken down in the mouth by chewing so as to reduce its size for increased surface area over which enzymatic reaction will take place. Enzymatic reaction is known as digestion and this is defined as the chemical breakdown of the ingested complex food molecules by the action of biological enzymes, into simplest form that can be absorbed into the blood stream and assimilated into living cells. In human beings, various components of the ingested food are digested and absorbed at various sections of the alimentary canal .…

    Metabolic Race

    When carbohydrates are consumed during a meal, catabolism originates in the mouth. The salivary enzyme α-amylase breaks down the carbohydrates through the hydrolysis of the α1->4 glycosidic bonds. This is followed by the further breakdown of the complex polysaccharides in the small intestine down to monosaccharides units in order for the glucose to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.…

Reece and Walker (2006:101) state that “the choice of teaching strategy is often related to your own individual style and what makes you feel most comfortable in doing.

The second is the number of students you have to teach”.…

    Unit 1 Assignment 1 It Takes Courage

    There are a few different factors that play into courage when it comes to persistence and enthusiasm. Character strengths or the big picture is just one of many. Character strengths are defined as virtues, for example, the virtue of wisdom which can be achieved through strengths such as creativity, curiosity, love of learning, open mindedness, and perspective (Peterson and Seligman, 2004). Most virtues are the core characteristics that are valued by thinkers and philosophers. Wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence are just to name a few of the characteristics. Without courage most people would not have the persistence or enthusiasm to complete anything in life. Courage would almost be considered a guideline to have the want to get anything done. Courage gives people the push when things go wrong. To sum up courage when it comes to persistence and enthusiasm, courage give people the push they need to get things done, to strive not only for excellence, but to become number one.…
