Digestive/ Urinary system (major organs of the digestive and urinary…

Accessory Organs-Organs that help with the digestion of food but are not a part of the alimentary canal
-
Sublingual salivary gland-An accessory organ under the tongue in the buccal cavity (farther front of the two glands) that releases amylases and mucous to aid digestion
Parotid salivary gland- An accessory organ above the pharynx in the buccal cavity that releases amylases and mucous to aid digestion
Teeth-The 32 specially shaped bones of the mouth that do mechanical digestion; 2 incisors, 1 cuspid, 2 bicuspids, and 3 molars on each side of the top and bottom of the mouth
Incisors- Broad, flat, sharp teeth at the front of the mouth designed for cutting and biting food
Canine/Cuspid-A sharp, pointed tooth designed for piercing and tearing flesh
Pre-Molars/Bicuspids and Molars-Broad, flat teeth with many cusps, which create a rough surface used for crushing, grinding, and chewing food
-
-
Pharynx-The tube that extends from the buccal cavity to the epiglottis, AKA the back of the throat that serves as a passageway for both food and air
Epiglottis-An accessory organ (cartiligenous flap) that closes off the trachea while food is being forced into the esophagus to prevent the movement of food into the lungs
Esophagus-The tubular organ that food travels through to the stomach from the pharynx, passing through the diaphragm at the hiatus (an opening); posterior to the trachea
-
Sphincter-A circular muscle that contricts a passage or closes a natural orifice by allowing materials to pass through when relaxed but restricting the opening when contracted
-
Bowman’s capsule - cup-shaped structure in the upper end of the nephron that encases the glomerulus.

Digestion-break down the food to nutritions occurs in the mouth and stomach, small intestine.

Propulsion-Include swelling which is a voluntarily process and peristales which is an involuntary process. peristalsis is the major means of propulsion involving alternate ways of contraction and relaxation of muscles in the walls of the esophagus stomach and intestines
Mechanical digestion-The first stage of the digestion process that physically prepare his food for chemical digestion by enzymes mechanical digestion occurs through chewing and salivation
Types of mechanical digestion-mixing food with saliva by the tongue churning food in the stomach
constructions of small intestine to mix food with digestive juices to increase efficiency of absorption
Chemical digestion-Second stage the digestion process known as the act or process of converting food into chemical substances that can be absorbed
Majority of the process happens in the stomach
-
Liver-Main function is to process nutrients absorbed from the small intestine
.purifies the blood of impurities before travels to the rest of the body secretes bile into the small intestine digest fat. Detoxifies potentially harmful chemicals from body
