The digestive system is a complex series of organs that process and break down the foods we eat. The 7 major types of the digestive system is the mouth, esophagus, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, rectum (also known as the colon) and the anus. These are the major categories you need to have a proper digestive system. Such as your gallbladder helps your digestive track but it is not an essential you have to have. You can have it removed and still live and digest all the things you eat.

Why do we digest food? – Here is the series of the events in order: ~Ingestion: You eat the food. ~Digestion: A series of chemical reactions, whereby you convert the ingested foot to smaller and smaller molecular forms. ~Absorption: Small molecular forms are absorbed through cells of your digestive system and pass into nearby blood or lymphatic vessels ~Transport: Your circulatory system delivers the small molecular nutrients to your body cells. Digestion solves

Respiratory System What is the definition of… Where does each occur? • Breathing- moves O2 into the body and CO2 out of the body; occurs in mouth/lungs • External Respiration- gas exchange in lungs; O2 into blood and CO2 into lungs • Gas Transport- transport of O2 to the body and CO2 to lungs; occurs in blood • Internal respiration- gas exchange at tissues/CO2 in the blood What are the structures in the upper respiratory system and the lower respiratory system? • Upper Respiratory

Impact of Toxic chemical There are many materials used in the workplace that can be hazardous. However, in order for them to affect your health, they must contact the body or be absorbed into the body. When assessing the potential health effects from working with a particular material it is necessary to understand difference between "toxicity" and "hazard". 1. TOXICITY is the ability of a substance to produce an unwanted effect when the chemical has reached a sufficient concentration at a

levels of intake". However, a Duke University study conducted on rats (funded by The Sugar Association) shows that at sucralose consumption throughout a 12-week administration of Splenda exerted numerous adverse effects; which are known to limit the absorption of nutrients and oral medications. These effects have not been tested in humans and so the study has been the subject of some controversy, with experts disagreeing over its conclusions. There is strong evidence supporting the relationship between

chloroplasts. it uses NADPH and ATP to convert CO2 into simple carbohydrates. Chlorophylls, carotenoids, and other pigments absorb light energy during photosynthesis. Different pigments absorb light of different wavelengths, as shown by their absorption spectra. Light that is not absorbed is reflected. This reflected light gives pigments their colour. The action spectrum of photosynthesis in green plants is the highest in the red and blue regions of the spectrum. Pigments, including chlorophylls

attention that focuses on research related to renewable energy technologies such as organic solar cells (OSCs). OSCs have the potential of providing law cost renewable energy with a reasnoable efficiency. The major limitations of OSCs are the narrow absorption range within the solar spectrum, the amount of charge carriers transported and collected at the electrodes depending on the active layer morphology. In addition, the band gap in

Given that the growth in the medical industry has expanded substantially enabling different machines to view different aspects of the human anatomy, it is impossible to recommend what scan a person should have without taking into consideration the illness/injury and history of the patient. Without doubt a PET scan should be avoided as much as possible as the radiation the patient is confronted with is equivalent to 8 years of everyday living and substantially larger than other methods of imaging

Optical Pumping Lab Report [Basic Principle] Before discussing the optical pumping, we have to mention the energy levels of the atom and their splitting due to the interaction between the spin of electron, orbital angular momentum of electron and spin of nuclei. We denote them with S, L, and I respectively. And the total angular momentum of electron is denoted by J, (Grand) total angular momentum is denoted by F. Therefore we will have to deal with the LS interaction, IJ interaction and later
