The human digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract plus the accessory organs of digestion (the tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder).[1] In this system, the process of digestion has many stages, the first of which starts in the mouth. Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components, until they can be absorbed and assimilated into the body.

Chewing, in which food is mixed with saliva begins the process of digestion. This produces a bolus which can be swallowed down the esophagus and into the stomach. Here it is mixed with gastric juice until it passes into the duodenum, where it is mixed with a number of enzymes produced by the pancreas. Saliva also contains a catalyticenzyme called amylase which starts to act on food in the mouth. Another digestive enzyme called lingual lipase is secreted by some of the lingual papillae on the tongue and also from serous glands in the main salivary glands. Digestion is helped by the mastication of food by the teeth and also by the muscular actions of peristalsis and segmentation contractions. Gastric juice in the stomach is essential for the continuation of digestion as is the production of mucus in the stomach.

Peristalsis is the rhythmic contraction of muscles that begins in the esophagus and continues along the wall of the stomach and the rest of the gastrointestinal tract. This initially results in the production of chyme which when fully broken down in the small intestine is absorbed as chyle into the lymphatic system. Most of the digestion of food takes place in the small intestine. Water and some minerals are reabsorbed back into the blood in the colon of the large intestine. The waste products of digestion (faeces) are defecated from the anus via the <span>rectum</span>

vitfil [10]

Answer:

hypha

mycelium

fruiting body

spores

Explanation:

<em>A typical fungi thallus includes many filamentous hypha that combine to form mycelium that grows underground, and produce a fruiting body reproductive structure that produce spores that disperse on the wind to new habitat.</em>

Fungi body are generally made up of hypha, a network of which forms the mycelium. The mycelium grows underground within the substrate and occasionally bring out fruiting bodies which bear the sporangium containing the spores. The spores act as agent of dispersal and are used to form new organisms when the conditions are right.

Case study - are invading bullfrogs harmful?
andrew-mc [135]
The invading bullfrogs ARE HARMFUL. This is because, they cause decline in the population of the native species.
Decline in the population of the native species will throw the ecosystem into a condition of imbalance which will eventually affect all the living organisms that are living in that ecosystem.
