        Help!  

Question
Answer
Levels of body organization from smallest to largest   cell, tissue, organ, body system  
🗑
smooth muscle contractions that push food through digestive system   peristalsis  
🗑
where do proteins begin digestion?   stomach (know where this is on a picture)  
🗑
what ENZYME that digests protein in the stomach?   pepsin  
🗑
which CHEMICAL helps pepsin in the stomach?   hydrochloric acid (HCl)  
🗑
pepsin + hydrocloric acid (HCl) are called _________.   gastric juices  
🗑
what substances do pass through cell membranes?   water and sugar  
🗑
What substances do NOT pass through cell membranes?   starch does not and that is why it has to be broken down by amylase  
🗑
Enzyme in saliva (found in the mouth) turns starch into sugar   amylase  
🗑
when a substance moves from an area of high concentration to low concentration   Diffusion, also called passive transport (remember like a tea bag in hot water)  
🗑
ring of muscle that opens and closes to allow food to go from one organ to another in the digestive system   sphincter  
🗑
flap of tissue that covers windpipe when you swallow   epiglottis  
🗑
Where does extra water move back into the bloodstream?   Large intestine absorbs water back into your cells. *know where this is on a picture  
🗑
Diarrhea will happen if peristalsis is happening too quickly in this organ?   large intestine because it would not have time to absorb water  
🗑
Which organ 1. digest fat (mechanically and chemically) 2. absorbs nutrients 3. where most chemical digestion takes place?   small intestine *know where this is on a picture  
🗑
where is waste stored?   rectum *know where this is on a picture  
🗑
which organ has no know function?   appendix *know where this is on a picture  
🗑
what substance protects and "coats" the digestive organs?   mucus  
🗑
list organs of digestive tract in order   mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum  
🗑
chewed up food mixed with saliva and before it is swallowed is called _______________.   a bolus  
🗑
what indicator is used to test for starch?   lugols solution postive-black/purple negative-orange/brown  
🗑
what indicator is used to test for sugar?   benedicts solution positive-any color change (red, orange, yellow, green) Negative-stays blue  
🗑
What are ulcers?   holes in the STOMACH lining because there is not enough mucus to protect the stomach from acidic content  
🗑
the tearing, grinding, or mixing of food in the digestive tract. example- TEETH chewing   mechanical digestion  
🗑
the breaking down of food in the digestive tract by gastric juices or enzymes   chemical digestion  
🗑
Why are starches important? example of carbohydrates   main source of fuel for your body cells. rice and grains  
🗑
thick, creamy liquid of partially digest food in the STOMACH   chyme  
🗑
What kind of digestion happens in the stomach?   both mechanical (muscle churning) and chemical (gastric juices)  
🗑
substance that breaks down fat droplets mechanically   bile  
🗑
takes ENERGY (ATP) to move nutrients through the cell membrane   active transport  
🗑
folds of small intestine have tiny projections called   villi (remember ticket model we made)  
🗑
helps prevent constipation   fiber (grains, fruit) and water  
🗑
supplies pancreatic juice   pancreas *know where this is on a picture  
🗑
receives bile and pancreatic juice   duodenum (first part of SMALL INTESTINE) *know where this is on a picture  
🗑
produces bile   liver *know where this is on a picture  
🗑
stores bile   gall bladder  
🗑
a balanced plate needs...   protein, fruit, vegetable, dairy, and starch (carbohydrate)  
🗑
