Digestive Process in Human Body

  • Saliva contains salivary amylase, breaking down starch into simpler sugars in the mouth.
  • Tongue binds chewed food and saliva, forming a bolus swallowed into the esophagus.
  • Peristalsis moves food through the elementary canal via muscle contractions.
  • Stomach secretes gastric juices with hydrochloric acid, mucus, and pepsin for digestion.
  • Pepsin acts on proteins in the stomach, breaking them down into smaller proteins.
  • Food is churned in the stomach for 3-4 hours before moving to the intestine.
  • Small intestine receives secretions from the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.
  • Bile juice from the liver emulsifies fat droplets in the small intestine.
  • Pancreatic juice contains enzymes acting on carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
  • Villi in the small intestine absorb digested food, transporting it via blood vessels.

Nutrient Transport in Plants and Animals

  • Nutrients are obtained from food substances and through respiration, where energy is produced with the help of oxygen.
  • Transportation of substances is crucial for cells to receive necessary nutrients, observed in both animals and plants.
  • In plants, water, minerals, and food are transported through xylem, a complex tissue consisting of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma, and fibers.
  • Water absorbed by roots is crucial for photosynthesis, excess water is removed through transpiration, creating a suction force known as transpirational pull.
  • Food substances like glucose and amino acids are transported in plants through phloem, made up of sieve tubes, companion cells, parenchyma, and fibers.
  • Transport of food in phloem occurs through translocation, requiring energy in the form of ATP.
  • The human circulatory system comprises blood, blood vessels, and the heart, with blood containing plasma, RBCs, WBCs, and platelets.
  • Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, veins bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart, and capillaries facilitate gas exchange.
  • The heart, a four-chambered organ, receives deoxygenated blood on the right side and oxygenated blood on the left side, maintaining double circulation.
  • The excretory system, essential for removing nitrogenous waste, involves kidneys as the main excretory organ, with nephrons as the filtration units responsible for urine formation.

Nephron structure and urine formation process.

  • Nephron structure includes a glomerulus, a network of capillaries sitting on Bowman's capsule.
  • Glomerulus acts as a filter for blood, allowing ultrafiltration to occur at high pressure.
  • Glomerular filtrate contains urea, glucose, amino acids, and water, which are reabsorbed in the tubules.
  • Excess water may be secreted back, leading to the formation of urine.
  • Urine is collected in the collecting ducts, then expelled through the urethra after signaling from the brain.
  • Lymph vessels help redirect leaked plasma and white blood cells back into the bloodstream.
  • Transpiration aids in the movement of water through plants by creating a suction force.
