Respiratory VS Digestive
Digestive system
-
Liver
Takes the raw materials absorbed by the small intestine and uses them to make key chemicals. Its roles include detoxification, storage, metabolism, bile production, and hemoglobin breakdown.
Gall Bladder
Stores the bile the liver produces, and the bile salts are used to emulsify fats (increasing the surface area of the fat by breaking it down into many small fat pieces). Bile stored in the gallbladder is then released into the small intestine using the common bile duct.
Large intestine
The final section of the alimentary canal, where remaining water and dissolved minerals such as ions are absorbed. It consists of ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid colon, as well as the rectum.
Small intestine:
A long highly folded tube where reusable food substances (neutriens) and a large volume of liquid is absorbed. It consists of three sections - The Duodenum, Jejunum, and Ileum.
Oesophagus
A hollow tube that connects the oral cavity to the stomach ( separated from the trachea by the epiglottis)
Stomach
A temporary storage tank where food is mixed by churning and protein digestion begins. Lined by gastric pits that release digestive juices, which creates an acidic environment
Pancreas
Produces enzymes that are released into the small intestine via the duodenum. It secretes certain hormones (insulin, glucagon) which regulate the blood sugar

Respiratory System
throat
acts as the passageway for air, food and liquid.
voice box
swallowing, breathing, and voice production
Mouth
helps you with daily functions like eating, speaking and breathing
-
Nose
allows air to enter your body, then filters debris and warms and moistens the air
Lungs
bring oxygen into our bodies (called inspiration, or inhalation) and send carbon dioxide out (called expiration, or exhalation).

-
Gas exchange
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and bloodstream (via passive diffusion)
Cell Respiration
The release of energy (ATP) From organic molecules. Breathing provides the mitochondria with the raw materials to turn into ATP.
Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)
