How do the COMPONENTS of a SystemINTERCONNECT? http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=faq&dbid=16#digestion Animation of Digestion
System have BFS…. IC Interconnectedness Changes
The “BFS” • Behavior = Role (role of each part) • Function = Purpose (purpose of the whole system) • Structure = Parts BF Behavior vs. Function Behavior is specific Function is general
System have BFS…. IC • Interconnection – there are links between parts • Changes – If a part fails to perform, it will affect the whole system
System Digestive
Digestion • breakdown of food into molecular components small enough to cross the plasma membrane
saliva saliva saliva Mechanical Digestion Same volume of food Small total surface area Larger total surface area A larger surface area speeds up digestion
Smaller pieces allow for more areas of contact for enzymes and digestive juices to act on speeding up digestion
Digestion Definition • Digestion is the breaking down of food into smaller and simpler substances • Mechanical digestion and Chemicaldigestion do this in different ways ABSORBED ELIMINATED
Chemical Digestion is the breaking down of large complicated molecules into simpler ones by the use of enzymes

What are the main actions (behavior) of the small and large intestines? • c. How is the small intestine designed to perform its function? • 3. Determining the pH of gastric juice and bile • a. Describe the role of gastric juice and bile in digestion. • b. How is the pH of gastric juice and bile related to its role in digestion?
Tongue Papillae Photograph by SPL/Photo Researchers, Inc. Cone-shaped tongue papillae, seen here in a colored scanning electron micrograph, contain nerve endings that receive and transmit touch sensations to the brain. As we begin chewing, the tongue shapes food in a ball-shaped bolus for swallowing. http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/photos/digestive-system/?source=A-to-Z#/tongue-papillar_1251_600x450.jpg
Inside the Human Mouth Photograph by Lennart Nilsson Inside the mouth, shown magnified here, teeth, tongue, and saliva work together to physically and chemically break down food. Humans produce up to 3 pints (1.4 liters) of saliva daily, and chemical enzymes in the saliva play a major role in disintegrating starchy foods. http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/photos/digestive-system/?source=A-to-Z#/human-mouth_1002_600x450.jpg
This colored scanning micrograph shows a cast of blood vessels from the external wall of the small intestine. Measuring about 22 feet (6.7 meters) in length, the small intestine performs most of the major digestion and absorption of nutrients. The walls of the small intestine are lined with millions of projections called villi, which absorb and transmit nutrients into the bloodstream. http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/photos/digestive-system/?source=A-to-Z#/small-intestine-vessels_1211_600x450.jpg
