Term
digestive system
Definition

takes in food, hydrolyzes macromolecules to their basic units, absorbs broken down food into the blood strem which delivers it to your tissues and organs

mouth-esophagus-small intestine-large intestine-rectum-anus

MESILIRA

Term
Carbohydrate Digestion
Definition
the two amylases, maltase, lactase
Term
Protein Digestion
Definition
pepsin, trypsin, peptidase
Term
Fat Digestion
Definition
lipsase (made by pancreas) works in SI
Term
Nuckeic Acid Digestion
Definition
Nuclease, nucleosidase
Term
Salivary Amylase
Definition
made by salivary glands, works in mouth
Term
Pancreatic Amylase
Definition
made by pancreas, works in small intestine
Term
Maltase
Definition
made by and works in SI
Term
Lactase
Definition
made by and works in SI
Term
Pepsin
Definition
made by and works in stomach
Term
Trypsin
Definition
made by pancreas, works in SI
Term
Peptidases
Definition
made by and work in SI
Term
Nuclease
Definition
made by pancreas, works in SI
Term
Nucleosidase
Definition
made by and works in SI
Term
Chewing
Definition
breaks up food into smaller pieces, increase surface area-mechanical digestion
Term
Saliva
Definition
slightly basic so its more slippery
Term
Swallowing
Definition
soft pallate pushed up to close nasal passages, trachea moves up under the epiglottis to close the glottis
Term
Esophagus
Definition
peristalsis, moves from mouth to stomach in 5-8 seconds
Term
Peristalsis
Definition
why astronauts can eat and drink in space, muscle contraction that moves food through the digestive tract
Term
Lower Gastroesophageal sphincter
Definition
enterence of esophagus to stomach food passes when relaxed
Term
Stomach
Definition

stores food and initiates the digestion of protein, very muscular- contracts to mix food-mechanical digestion, lined with glands producing HCl and pepsin (chemical digestion)

food stays 2-4 hours,

Term
Gastric Bypass
Definition
attaches the upper part of the stomach to the middle of the small intestine
Term
Small Intestine
Definition
muscular tube long but thin, nutrients absorbed into the blood, 3-5 hours
Term
Duodenum
Definition
first 25 cm of small intestine, where enzymes from the pancreas and liver are collected
Term
Bile
Definition
from liver, causes fat droplets to disperse in water, since the droplets are smaller, lipase can now work
Term
Colon
Definition
LI, short but thick, only contains things that can't be digested-watse, water absrobed into the blood here, bacteria further break down matter, produce vitamin B and K
Term
Elimination
Definition
18-24 hours in LI before feces reaches the rectum and leaves the anus
Term
Total Digestion Time
Definition
24-33 hours
Term
Things needed for Fuel for our Bodies
Definition
oxygen, chemicals in food
Term
Why does Stomach acid not eating through the lining?
Definition

mucuous lines stomach

grow new stomach lining every three days

Term
What do th eenzymes in SI do?
Definition
absorb nutrients and chemicals we need for food
Term
Chyme
Definition
goopy stuff that goes through the stomach
Term
Liver
Definition
secretes/makes bile, stores extra glucose, detoxifies alcohol, drugs, etc.
Term
stomach
Definition
food digested here
Term
Spleen
Definition
stores blood, destroys old red blood cells
Term
Pancreas
Definition
secretes digestive enzymes, makes insulin
Term
Gall Bladder
Definition
stores bile
Term
Bile
Definition
breaks down fat
Term
Appendix
Definition
no known function
Term
Rectum
Definition
last part of LI, stores waste until exit
Term
anus
Definition
where waste exits
Term
Skeleton
Definition
"dried up" in Greek, system of bones
Term
Bones
Definition
living tissues, grow, made of cells need O2, hard and moist- 1/3 water, minerals,blood, nerves
Term
Muscles
Definition
650 in body
Term
Skeletal Muscles
Definition
move bones
Term
Cardiac Muscles
Definition
your heart
Term
Smooth
Definition
located in the walls of blood vessels and organs
Term
Periosteum
Definition
"around bone" outer layer
Term
Compact Bone
Definition
strong layer,  have to cut with saw,blood vessels/nerves run through this layer
Term
Cancellous
Definition
spongy bone, looks like a sponge, where bone marrow is
Term
Tissues
Definition
groups of cells
Term
ligament
Definition
connects bone to bone
Term
Tendons
Definition
connects muscle to bone
Term
Cartillage
Definition
supports bones and protects them from rubbing against each other
Term
Fixed Joints
Definition
don't move
Term
Hinge
Definition
moves bones through one plane, knee
Term
Ball and Socket joints
Definition
move in several directions, like shoulder
Term
How Skeletal Mjuscles Work
Definition
when a nerve signals a skeletal muscle to contract, calcium is released inside the muscle filaments, causing atattchments to form between myosin and actin, sliding Filament Theory
Term
Mysosin
Definition
thick like rope
Term
Actin
Definition
thin like yarn
Term
Sliding Filament Theory
Definition
states that actin filaments slide toward one another during contraction, mysosin don't move, shortens the muscle causing it to contract
Term
Muscle Strength and Exercise
Definition

doesn't depend on the number of fibers in the muscles, this number is fixed before birth

depends instead on the thickness of fibers and how many of them contract at one time

thicker fiber=stronger/more muscle mass

regular exercises stress muscle fibers slightly and to compensate for the added workload, the fibers increase in size

Term
Where do we have cartillage
Definition
ribs, ears, nose
Term
teeth
Definition
strongest bone in our skelton
Term
Cracking Knuckles
Definition
You're pulling your bones apart and letting an air buble get in between your joints
Term
Bone Development
Definition
at birth you have 350 bones, cartillage fuses together to be bones
Term
Spinal Cord
Definition
bundle of nerves running down your back, vertabrae are hollow to protect them
Term
synovial fluid
Definition
(plus cartillage) like oil to make our joints move smoothly
