Parts of the digestive system The digestive system consists primarily of the alimentary canal‚ a tube that extends from the mouth to the rectum. As food moves through this canal‚ it is ground and mixed with various digestive juices. Most of these juices contain digestive enzymes‚ chemicals that speed up reactions involved in the breakdown of food. The stomach and the small intestines‚ which are parts of the alimentary canal‚ each produce a digestive juice. Other digestive juices empty into the alimentary

are different systems working together and form a human body work permit. One of this system is the important digestive system which consist of a cluster of organs‚ including the mouth‚ stomach and intestines. These organs allow the digestion of food.

There are three main steps in the digestive process: ingestion‚ digestion and absorption. The first step of the digestive process occurs

Biology Summer Task Our digestive systems contain glands. These glands produce enzymes. Enzymes are catalysts. Catalysts make chemical reactions happen quicker and easier. Digestive enzymes help us to break down food easier. Our bodies make lots of different digestive enzymes. Each enzyme breaks down a particular food. When an enzyme has broken down one food molecule‚ it can then break down another molecule of the same kind. It can do this over and over again. It makes the reaction happen without

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.

TITLE ! Investigation to determine whether or not relationships exist between gender or height with lung capacity of Year 9 students ! ! ! INTRODUCTION The capacity of our lungs is the volume of air our lungs can hold. Our lungs have a greater capacity than we use when we take a normal breath. Scientists use various terms to describe the different components of lung capacity. Tidal Volume is the amount of air breathed out in a single normal breath (inhalation and exhalation).

The cardiovascular system which impacts deeply on human consciousness. The heart and the body’s blood-transporting network of arteries‚ veins‚ and smaller vessels form the circulatory or cardiovascular system. As blood is continuously pumped out from the heart and around the system in two circuits‚ it carries oxygen and vital nutrients to all parts of the body and removes harmful waste products from tissues.

SOC 313 August 6th ‚ 2012 Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis My father was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis about 5 years ago. Because of this reason alone‚ I wanted to do my research project on this specific condition. Within my research‚ I have found that Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a progressive‚ fatal disorder of the lungs that causes them to become thick and stiff. I have learned about all the different causes‚ signs and symptoms and different tests that one must go through
