Term
Definition
Autotrophic   An organism that makes it own food  
🗑
Heterotropic   An organism that gets it food from the environment  
🗑
Herbivores   Eats plants  
🗑
Carnivores   Eats other animals  
🗑
Omnivores   Eats both plants and animals  
🗑
Mechanical Digestion   Physical break down of food i.e, mouth, stomach  
🗑
Chemical Digestion   Breaking down of food by enzymes and stomach acid i.e. Mouth, stomach  
🗑
Why we need a digestive system   A digestive system allow all the materials needed to process food to be located in a single place  
🗑
Alimentary Canal   Long tube from mouth to anus  
🗑
Ingestion   Taking food into the body  
🗑
Digestion   Breaking down of food  
🗑
Absorption   Movement if digested food from the gut into the blood stay by diffusion  
🗑
Egestion   Removal of unabsorbed food from the body  
🗑
Incisors   Uses for biting  
🗑
Canines   Used for tearing  
🗑
Premolars   Used for chewing  
🗑
Molars   Used for chewing  
🗑
What is saliva consisted of   Water Salts Amylase Lysozyme  
🗑
Peristalsis   Muscular contracting of the gut  
🗑
Fibre   To prevent constipation we get it in fruit and vegetables and it reduces risk of colon cancer  
🗑
Stomach   Stores food  
🗑
Structure of the stomach   Lining of the stomach is heavily folded into millions of gastric glands.  
🗑
The three types of cells that make the gastric glands   1.Goblet cells 2. Zyomogen cells 3. Oxyntic cells  
🗑
Goblet cells   Secretes mucous to prevent the stomach from digesting itself  
🗑
Zyomogen cells   Secretes pepsinogen inactive form of pepsin  
🗑
Oxyntic cells   Secretes HCl ( hydrochloride acid) kills bacteria  
🗑
Gastric juices   Mucous, Pepsinogen and HCl  
🗑
Heartburn   When HCl is over produces and moves up the Oesophagus  
🗑
Ulcers   When mucous doesn't properly line the stomach and HCl burns a hole in it  
🗑
Three parts of the small intestine   1. Duodenum 2. Illeum 3. Jejenum  
🗑
Duodenum   It is used for digestion and has many villi and microvilli which increases surface area for digestion  
🗑
Liver   Produces bile Breaks excess protein down into urea Stores iron and vitamins Emulsifies fat  
🗑
Pancreas   Secretes insulin, produces sodium bicarbonate which neutralises chyme and also produces amylase and lipase which are sent to the duodenum  
🗑
Gall bladder   Stores bile  
🗑
Bile duct   Transports bile from gall bladder to the duodenum  
🗑
When bile Emulsifies fat   Breaks them down into small droplets and this increases surface area for digestion  
🗑
When bile contains NaHCO4   It neutralises chyme from the stomach  
🗑
Illeum   It is used for absorption, it has many villi. It has a villus wall which is only one cell thick and rich blood supply inside each villus  
🗑
Hepatic portal vein   Transports nutrients such as amino acids or glucose from ilium to the liver  
🗑
Hepatic vein   Transports wastes like urea to the kidney  
🗑
Lacteals   This is located inside each villus and contains lymph which cleans blood. It absorbs fatty acids and glycerol and reform them into fats. The lymph then transports them back into the blood stream  
🗑
Colon   Reabsorb water and forms faeces  
🗑
Probiotic   Good bacteria  
🗑
Symbiotic bacteria   Baceria that lives in another organism where at least one of them benefits  
🗑
Uses of symbiotic bacteria   Breaks down fibre Produces vitimins Fights bad bacteria  
🗑
Amylase   Converts starch to maltose, it is secreted in the salivary glands, where it works is in the mouth and the pH7  
🗑
Pepsin   It converts protein to peptides, it is secreted in the stomach lining, we're is acts is the stomach and it has a pH of 2  
🗑
Lipase   It converts lipids which is fatty acids and glycerol, it is secreted in the pancreas, it acts in the duodenum and pH7  
🗑
Balance diet   A balance diet contains all food types in appropriate amounts. The total intake of food by a person is depended on their age, activity levels, gender and health  
🗑
Four food groups   1. Cereals, bread, potatoes 2. Fruit and vegtables 3. Milk, cheese, yogurt 4. Meat, fish, poultry  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
