1
Ingestion
taking in of nutrients
2
Digestion
Breakdown of complex organic molecules into smaller components
3
Absorption
Transport of digested nutrients to the cells of the body
4
Egestion/Excretion
Removal of food waste from the body
5
Mouth
Responsible for chemical and physical digestion
6
3 Parts of Saliva
-Amylase
-Water
-Mucin
7
4 openings of Pharyx
-Nasal Cavity
-Trachea
-Mouth Cavity
-Esophagus
8
Stomach Functions
Storage of food, Liquefaction of food, beginning of protien digestion
9
4 Components of Gastic Juice
1.HCL
2.Pepsinogen -> Pepsin
3. Mucous
4.Horomones (Gastrin)
10
Liver
-Removes toxins from the blood
-maintains blood sugar
-regulates blood clotting
-sorts, stores, breaks and builds, balances, and produces nutrients, waste and enzymes
-regulates glucose
-produces urea
11
5 parts of Pancreatic Juice
-Alkaline Salts
-Tripsinogen -> Trispin
-Erepsin
-Amylase
-Lipase
12
Small Intestine
Duodenum, Jejenum, Ileum
-Majority of Digestion
-Proteases and carbohydrases digest food molecules
13
Villi
-litlle wave hairlike things obn the ridges of small intestines
-increase surface area
14
Colon/Large Intestine
-Absorbs vitamins B and K, water, and ions
-Stores waste material
-Feces then build up and go to the rectum
15
3 Controls of Digestion
1.Sensory Organs Stimulation
2.Mechanical Stimulation
3.Hormonal Stimulation
16
Excretory System Function
Convert toxin products into less harmful molecules and/or remove these products from the body
17
Kidneys
-Clean waste products from the blood
-Filled with millions of Nephrons
18
Lymph Nodes
Bean shaped parts of the immune system
Swell due to signs of infection
19
Nephron System
-Blood enters thru renal artery
-Arterioles that are rebranched form the glomerules
-Proximal Tubule extends off bowmans capsule and absorbs 80% of sugar, filtrate, salt, etc.
-A loop forms and water/salt move by passive transport
-Distal tubule leads to a colleting duct and recieves urine
-Urine is carries to the renal pelvis and stored in the bladder
20
Urine formation
1. Filtration
2. Reabsorbtion
3.Secretion
21
ADH
-Produced in the hypothalamus
-releasted into blood and targets the collecting duct and distal tubule
-makes these tubes selectiviley permeable
-Causes less urine production
22
ALDOSTERONE
-Produced in the adrenal cortex
-targets nephrons and stimulates the reabsorption of Na ions in the loop of henle
-causes blood volume and pressure to increase
23
Diuretic
Causes nephrons to retain H2O
-makes urine more dilute and frequent
24
Dialysis
Blood is removed from your body through the needle. It's sent across a special filter, which removes harmful substances from the blood. Then, clean blood is sent back into the body

1. Blood runs through tubes of semiporoud membranes
2. Bloodrea is filtered and removed w a sterile solution
