Ingestion

Mouth- chews and mixed food with saliva

Pharynx- Directs food from mouth to esophagus

Salivary glands- secrete saliva

Epiglottis - Protects airways during swallowing

Trachea- let the air to pass to and from lungs

Esophagus-  Pass through the  food from the mouth then to the stomach

Esophageal sphincters- let the pass way from mouth to esophagus and from esophagus to stomach, to avoid back flow from stomach to esophagus and from esophagus to mouth.

Diaphram- Segregate the abdomen from the thoracic activity

Stomach- grinds food to a liquid mass churns, mixes, and; adds acid, enzymes, and fluid

pyloric sphincter: Allows passage from stomach to small intestine; prevents back flow from small intestine

Liver- detergent-like substances, to help digest fats and Manufactures bile salts,

Gallbladder- stock bile until needed

Bile Duct- Conducts bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine

Appendix- House bacteria and lymph cells

Small intestine- Secretes enzymes that digest all energy- yielding nutrients to smaller nutrient particles; cells of wall absorb nutrients into blood and lymph

llececal valve (sphincter) – is the  pass way  from small to large intestine; to avoid back flow from large intestine

Pancreas- produced enzymes to digest all energy- yielding nutrients and releases bicarbonate to neutralize acid chyme that enters the small intestine

Pancreatic duct- secretes pancreatic juice from the pancreas to the small intestine

Large intestine- passes waste along with water to rectum and  Absorbs water and minerals;

Rectum – Stocks  water prior to elimination

anus-  opens to allow elimination, holds rectum closed.

Gene: The hereditary material made up of alleles.

Alleles: The alternative forms of a gene.

Dominant: An allele or trait that masks the effect of recessive allele or trait.

Recessive: An allele or trait that gets suppressed by the dominant allele or trait.

genotype: The genome of a particular organism of the genes which make up an organism.

phenotype: The physical traits or characteristics of an organism.

test- cross: A cross in which the dominant and the recessive trait offsprings are crossed to depict whether the dominant organism is homozygous or heterozygous.

law of independent assortment: Alleles of different genes get assorted independently into gametes.

law of segregation: allele pairs segregate during gamete formation and unite at the time of fertilization.

product rule: Independent evens can be calculated by multiplying the independent probabilities.

Addition rule: The probability which shows that one event would occur in a mutually exclusive event.

co-dominant: When the dominant and the recessive trait occur and the organism shows both the characteristics of the dominant and the recessive trait.

incomplete dominance: when the dominant trait is not fully dominant over the recessive trait. As a result, individuals are produced which show neither the dominant or the recessive trait. A new trait is developed in them.

This means that the rate of consumption of reactants and rate of generation of products are greater than zero and are equal, that means that both the forward and backward reactions are occurs at these rate.
