Amylase is found in saliva and breaks starch into maltose and dextrin. This form of amylase is also called "ptyalin" /ˈtaɪəlɪn/[4] It will break large‚ insoluble starch molecules into soluble starches (amylodextrin‚ erythrodextrin‚ and achrodextrin) producing successively smaller starches and ultimately maltose. Ptyalin acts on linear α(1‚4) glycosidic linkages‚ but compound hydrolysis requires an enzyme that acts on branched products. Salivary amylase is inactivated in the stomach by gastric acid

Heart Dissection September 30‚ 2012 Introduction/Purpose In this lab experiment‚ I examined a pig’s heart and compared it to a human’s heart. The pig’s heart is very similar to a human’s heart by having the same structures‚ veins‚ valves‚ and chambers. I was unable to perform hands on examination on a human heart so I examined a pig’s heart. I was able to identify major areas of the heart and dissect it to examine the inside chambers and valves. This

Chemical Composition of Bone Bone is a very hard material which is capable of bearing a large amount of weight and resisting tension and twisting forces. Therefore‚ this material is both flexible and hard. The hardness of bone is due to calcium deposits in the matrix while the flexibility comes from the organic material of the matrix. We can illustrate these facts by treating two bone samples by two different methods: 1. Soaking a bone in vinegar (dilute acetic acid) removes calcium

Aortic Dissection An aortic dissection is a tear in your aorta. The aorta is the main blood vessel that carries blood out of your heart to supply the rest of your body. It comes out of your heart and curves around‚ then goes down through your chest (thoracic aorta) and into your belly (abdominal aorta). The wall of the aorta has inner and outer layers. Aortic dissection occurs most often in the thoracic aorta. This is more likely to happen if the inner layer of the aorta has a weak spot or gets

He observed how these religions had specific food restrictions which followers could not eat like pork or beef. He also examined the types of sacred figures in these religions like the Ka’aba where people would walk around it and pray‚ as it is known as the house of God in Islam. This led to assumptions from his philosophy that these historical practices and restrictions

I. Fetal Pig Dissection II. Purpose Sus scrofa‚ or the domestic pig is a member of the class Mammalia and the order Artiodactyla. Since we as humans are also a member of class Mammalia‚ we have a good deal in common biologically with pigs‚ although we might not like to think so. Since we have a good deal in common‚ it is very helpful for us to study these animals both anatomically and physiologically. We do this when we test medicines on pigs‚ perfect surgical procedures on pigs‚ and even when
