Term
Chocking is prevented by a flap in the pharynx called the ______.
Definition
Epialoftis
Term
The _____ connects the pharynx and the stomach.
Definition
Oesophagus
Term
_________ or wavelike contractions of the smooth muscles push food down toward the stomach.
Definition
Peristolsis
Term
The _____ is a J shape expandable organ located on the left side of the abdominal cavity.
Definition
Stomach
Term
The stomach has a pH of around ____
Definition
2
Term
Most hydrolysis of macromolecules occur in the ________.
Definition
Small Intestine
Term
The small intestine is divided into 3 sections ______,_______ and ________.
Definition
Duodedum, Illeum, Jenjenyum
Term
The accessory digestive organs are the _____, ______ and the ___________.
Definition
Gall Bladder, Pancreas, Liver
Term
_____, ______ and ______ are enzymes that break down proteins into their amino acids.
Definition
Pepsin, Trypsin and Erepsin
Term
____ is a chemical that emulsifies fat.
Definition
Bile
Term
The enzyme ____ can now finish fat digestion due to the enlarged surface area that was produced.
Definition
Lipase
Term
________ digestion is under control of the enzymes maltase, lactase and sucrase.
Definition
Carbohydrate
Term
The lining of the ________________ has a surface area of 600m2, about the size of a baseball diamond.
Definition
Small Intestine
Term
Large folds decorated with finger-like projections called _____, and each of the epithelial cells have many microsopic, appendages called _______.
Definition
Villi, Microvilli
Term
The nurtients, except fat, are absorbed into the capillaries, while the fat enters the ________.
Definition
Lactelal
Term
All of the contents of the blood enter the liver via the ______. The liver regulates the contents of the blood.
Definition
Hepatic Portal Vein
Term
The _______________ is connected to the small intestine at a t-shaped junction where blind puch the ceacum is found.
Definition
Large intestine
Term
The function of the colon is to ___________________________________________________________________________.
Definition
Reabsorb water and salt, produce fatty acids and vitamins.
Term
Explain why the walls of arteries are thick and have alot of elastic tissue?
Definition
They have thicker walls than veins to withstand the pressure produced by the heart’s pumping.
Term
Veins have the same three layers of tissue as arteries, but they have much less muscle why?
Definition
Veins have less pressure than arteries, they also use the skeletal muscles and have one way valves so they can return the blood to the heart.
Term
Explain what causes fluid to leak out of the capillaries and what happens to them after.
Definition
Some blood plasma (liquid) diffuses out of the capillary due to blood pressure. The “leaked-out” plasma is now called TISSUE FLUID. Excess tissue fluid is collected by LYMPTH CAPILLARIES and is returned by a large lymph vessel back into the blood near the heart.
Term

Transport of        from        to      carried by       purpose

oxygen                          _____       body cells     red blood cells            respiration

heat                       muscles, liver     all tissues inc. skin  whole blood       _________

 

Definition
lungs, carbon dioxide, body cells, plasma, hormones, regulation of body temperature
Term

Functions of the blood:

white blood cells

plasma

red blood cells

platelets

Definition

(Leucocytes) fight disease. They can escape from inside the capillaries and can be found outside among the body tissues. They can be long-lived and have a nucleus.


 liquid part of blood, transports CO2 which dissolves to form CO3- - (carbonate ion). 

 Transports absorbed nutrients (amino acids, glucose, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals.)

Contains blood-clotting proteins

 
(Erythrocytes) transports oxygen using the respiratory pigment (Haemoglobin) A small amount of CO2 is carried by the red blood cells. They have no nucleus and subsequently are short-lived (about 30 days).
 
cell fragments that bind up a blood clot.
Term
Indicate the order of the blood flow through the heart, take the vena cava as the starting point.
Definition

vena cava

right atrium

right ventrile

pulmonary artery

lungs

pulmonary vein

left atrium

left ventricles

aorta

head and body

Term
Explain why animals above a certain size require an internal transport system
Definition
Simple diffuision is only enough to supply the needs of small, simple animals
Term

Describe the function:

blood vessels

heart

blood

Definition

blood circulates within the vessels;

the heart pumps the blood around the body;

blood transports oxygen, nutrients, co2, wastes and hormones to places around the body;

Term
Describe how flatworms recieve their nutrients.
Definition
Flatworms have a branched intestine and nutrients diffuse into the body. Gases and wastes are also exchanged by diffusion aided by body movements.
Term
Follow through the digestive system: e.g. mouth...teeth..throat.
Definition

Teeth/tongue

epiglottis 

oesophagus 

cardiac sphincter

stomach

pyloric sphincter

duodenum

small intestine

pancreas 

liver

gall bladder

jejunum

appendix

colon (large intestine)

anus

 

Term
Desribe the function of the teeth and tongue
Definition

Increases surface area of food 

Soften food and lubricate with saliva

Form bolus(ball of food) ready for swallowing

 
Term
What is the function of the epiglottis,oesophagus and cardiac sphincter?
Definition

muscular flap that prevents food from entering airway

muscular tube that pushes food to the stomach via waves of muscle contractions (peristalsis)

band of muscles at top of stomach; prevents reflux of food.

Term
Function and enzymes in stomach?
Definition

Holds food, churns food using three muscle layers, gastric pits secrete HCI-activates enzymes, mucus secreted by stomach lining; allows food to move and protects lining from enzyme.

 

Pepsinogen is secreted by cells in lining, activated by acid pH into pepsin - acts on proteins reducing them to polypeptide
