Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion exercise T 8 he digestive system is a physiological marvel‚ composed of finely orchestrated chemical and physical activities. The food we ingest must be broken down to its molecular form for us to get the nutrients we need‚ and digestion involves a complex sequence of mechanical and chemical processes designed to achieve this goal as efficiently as possible. As food passes through the gastrointestinal tract‚ it is progressively broken down

Nancy Yedanapalli physio ex Activity 6 1. Explain why the larger waves seen on the oscilloscope represent ventricular contraction. a. The ventricular contraction is of greater force than the atrial contraction‚ since the ventricular contraction functions to send blood throughout the entire body (systemic circulation)‚ where as the contraction of the atrium send blood only to the lungs and rest of the the heart (pulmonary circulation). 2. Explain why the amplitude
