7 nutrients |
Protein Fiber Fats Minerals Vitamins Carbohydrate Water |
|
Carbohydrate |
To provide energy |
|
Protein |
For growth and repair |
|
Fat |
To provide energy. Also to store energy in the body to insulate it against cold. |
|
Minerals |
Needed in small amounts to maintain health. |
|
Vitamins |
Needed in small amounts to maintain health |
|
Fibre |
To provide roughage to help keep the food moving through the gut |
|
Water |
Needed for cells and body fluids |
|
Digestive system parts |
Mouth oesophagus stomach Small intestine Large intestine Anus Rectum Pancreas Liver |
|
Mouth |
There are 2 processes: 1. Chemical: saliva contains amylase enzymes that break down carbohydrate. 2. Mechanical: muscles (teeth) bite food into smaller pieces. |
|
Oesophagus |
Conector the mouth to the stomach |
|
Stomach |
Kills bacteria with the acid in the stomach. Releases enzymes. |
|
Small intestine |
The nutrients enters in this part in the body for example it goes to the blood. |
|
Large intestine |
The water enters the body in this part |
|
Anus |
Their goes your waste out ( mostly fiber) |
|
Rectum |
Stores fiber to be released |
|
Pancreas |
This releases enzymes into the small intestine |
|
Liver |
Produces bile |
|
What are enzymes |
Chemical digestion breaking down food by chemical reactions. Enzymes are just special proteins. They can break large molecules into small molecules. Different types of enzymes break down different nutrients. |
|
Types of enzymes |
|
|
Malnutrition |
When you eat too much or too little of a nutrient |
|
Red blood cells |
Transport oxygen. Contain protein. Remove CO² from blood. |
|
White blood cell |
Fight infection |
|
Platelets |
When there is a wound platelets stop blood going out and bacteria coming in . |
|
Artery |
Blood in arteries travels away from the heart and the towards the organ. It travel at high speed. It Is usual oxygenated. Has thick muscular Walls. |
|
Vein |
Take blood to the heart and away from the organs. It haItlow pressure . It has valves to prevent blood going backwards. The veins carry deoxygenated blood. |
|
Capillary |
The capillarys are microscopic vessels that connects arterioles to venules. The Walls are one cel thick, that allows substances between blood and body cells pass. |
|
Parts of Heart |
|
|
Proces from alveoly to muscle cells |
When the lung has oxygen it go through the capillary, the air ( with blood ) go to the muscle cells through the circulatory system |
|
Respiratory system |
|
|
Process of breathing : breathe in |
When we breathe the diaphragm contracts and flattens. The intercostal muscles contracts and ribs move upwards and downwards . The volume of the ribcage increase and lung inflate. |
|
Process of breathe : breathe out |
When we breathe out the diaphragm relax and bends upwards. The intercostal muscles relax and ribs move inwards and down. The volume decrease and the lung deflate. |
|
Mouth and nose |
Opening where air enters the body. |
|
Trachea |
Tube is surrounded by cartilage that takes air to the lungs |
|
Lungs |
Spongy organs where gases go into. |
|
Bronchus |
The trachea splits into these |
|
Bronchiole |
Each bronchus will separate into these |
|
Alveoli |
Tiny sacs of air that exchange gases |
|
Ribs |
Made of bone to protect the lungs |
|
Diaphragm |
Flat muscle that moves to push air out of the lungs. |
|
Breathing |
Breathing in is called inhalation, breathing out is called exhalation . Breathing is about 2 set muscles, the intercostal muscles Found between the Ribs and the diaphragm which separates the chest from the body bellow |
|
Equation for aerobic respiration |
Reactants Glucose ( sugar) + oxygen = Products =Carbon dioxide+ water C6 H¹² O6 + O² -> CO² + H²O |
|
Difference between breathing and respiration |
Breathing is ventilation . The purpose of respiration is to release energy . |
|
What role does the blood play in aerobic respiration? |
The blood caries the glucose and oxygen around the body to your cells, the waste products water and CO² are taken to the kidneys and lungs to be removed from the body . |
|
Aerobic respiration |
Aerobic respiration is respiration that required or needs oxygen. |
|
Anaerobic equation |
Glucose = lactic acid energy |
|
Anaerobic respiration |
Anaerobic respiration is respiration without oxygen. In anaerobic respiration the product is lactic acid . A little energy is released because not all energy is released from each glucose molecule., Lactic acid is poisenes . Anaerobic respiration take place where there is not enough oxygen available but energy is required. This happenes when atlhete run very fast but the body cannot supply enough energy. To get rid of lactic acid the person will need a good supply of oxygen . |
|
Components of air |
|
|
Smoking components : tar |
- contains cancer causing chemicals. -stops cilia working -increase change of infection |
|
Smoking components : Nicotine |
Addictive drugs |
|
Smoking components : carbon monoxide |
Binds to the red blood cells so they can no longer transport oxygen this causes being tired. Also the pressure of your arteries will increase because your body neats more oxygen. |
|
Food test: starch |
We added iodine to the food. If the food turned black, starch (carbohydrate) was present. Rice, bread, banana and potato all contained starch. |
|
Food test: protein |
We added sodium hydroxide and biuret and that gives us the reaction to the food. If the solution turned purple, protein is present. For some reasons, the ham and the egg didn't go purple. |
|
Food test: fat |
1. Add food (chicken skin) into boiling tube. 2. We add then ethanol and water , then mix it. 4. If the solution turned cloudy, fat is present. |
|
Food test: glucose (sugar) |
1.add Benedict's solution to the food 2. If the solution turned brick red, glucose is present 3. With a sausage the solution would turn blue. |
|
Malnutrition: kwashiorkor |
Caused by Lack of protein. |
|
Malnutrition: night blindness |
Caused by Lack of vitamine A. |
|
Cartilage |
The cartilage is around the trachea. It keep the trachea open and stop it collapsing. |
