Answer:Terms in this set (10)

Mouth

Teeth chop food & saliva breaks down food

Esophagus

Tube that connects mouth to the stomach (peristalsis)

Stomach

Organ that releases acid and juices & mixes with food to create chymes

Small Intestine

Greatest amount of digestion takes place (if taken out, it would be 21ft long) (takes 4hrs to get to the small intestine)

Liver

Gland that releases bile and filters poisonous waste

Gall Bladder

Small organ that stores bile (you can live without it)

Pancreas

Gland that produces digestive enzymes and insulin

Large Intestine

(colon) Tube extending the small intestine where your indigestive food is ready for elimination

Rectum

Short tube at the end of the large intestine

Anus

Opening to the outside of the body

Explanation:

The organs of the digestive system are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine and anus. Recognizing how these organs work together to digest food is key to understanding how digestion works.

All pros when conducting a lab experiment except?

Mrac [35]

Answer:

I personally believe that lab experiments are useful and an effective way to test and gather data. Even though they can often lack ecological validity and mundane realism they can easily be replicated and results can be retested, helping to prove/disprove data, ultimately leading to the creation of practical applications.

That psychologist can make statements about cause and effect because they involve the deliberate manipulation of one variable while trying to keep the other variables constant, unlike non-experimental methods.

Lab experiments can also be replicated due to the standardised procedures and measures, ultimately making it easier to check the reliability of the research/results and prove/disprove results if the research is conducted by another researcher.

What are the functions of water in the human body

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

breathing, sweating, and digestion(look at explanation)

Explanation:

Your body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because your body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it's important to rehydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water.

The use of which material can substitute for copper and reduce copper mine production?

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Glass

Explanation:

Copper is a good conductor of electricity and this is why it is used in electrical equipment to transmit electrons with the least resistance. Cable conductors are made of copper and used to transmit data. Copper is now being replaced by optic fiber that is made of glass. Instead of using electrons, fiber optic transmits data using photons – which transmits more data rate than copper.

A spectacular marine animal has a network of glassy spicules that forms a sac-like structure. This animal does not have true tis

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Sponges use choanocytes or flagellated channels to get nutrients from the feeding cells to other parts of their body.

Explanation:

Sponges are marine animals with a sac-shaped body. The epidermis is composed of polygonal flat cells called pinacocytes and pores protected by porocytes. Under the epidermis, there is a protein matrix called mesenchyme, which is composed of spicules and amibocytes. By the interior side of the sponge, there are the choanocytes. These are ovoid cells that can be shaping the spongocoele (internal cavity of the sponge), with an extreme attached to the mesenchyme and the other extreme projected to the spongocoele, or can be grouped in spaces called flagellated channels.

These animals depend on water to get oxygen and food to the inside of the sac and take excrements and reproductive cells to the outside. Sponges feed on small detritus particles and suspending organisms that get near the animal by water streams produced by choanocytes.

Particle size is essential. Only the small ones can get through the flagellated channels, where they get stuck to the choanocytes and are encapsulated by the cells. If the choanocytes are too small, the particle is transferred to the amibocytes for digestion. These last ones also act as food storages. Excrement products are dragged by a water stream.
