Animal systems

The text outlines the intricate systems within animals, focusing on their digestive, respiratory, and circulatory functions. It highlights the importance of minerals and vitamins for normal bodily functions, although vitamins do not directly provide energy but assist in energy-related processes.

Animal systems

Animal systems

Circulatory System

Closed Transport System
circulates in one direction
Open Transport System
insets heart pumps a single circular vessel

Respiratory System

4 stages
4. Cellular Respiration perform various functions in the body
3. Internal Respiration Exchange of gases between blood and cell tissue
2. External Respiration Exchange of gases between lungs and blood
1. Breathing air enters leaves the lungs

Digestive systems

Structures
Gallbladder

stores bile

Liver

detoxifying blood

Small intestine

breakdown and absorption of remaining proteins and carbohydrates

Large intestine

stores wastes so minerals and vitamins can be absorbed

Stomach

food storage

Esophogus

where food travels

Mouth

breaks down food and lubricates it

4 stages of digestion
Elimination: removal of waste food materials
Absorption: transport of digested nutrients to tissues
Digestion: breakdown of complex organic molecules into smaller components by enzymes
ingestion: Taking the nutrients
Types of digestion
Chemical: enzymes and water break down food so it is absorbed
Physical/Mechanicalbreaks down food into smaller pieces using teeth
Minerals and vitamins
Minerals: bodies need to develop and function normally
Vitamins: Does not obtain energy but can assist with energy related processes
Energy
Proteins: provide structure and support
Carbohydrates: needed by all body cells as energy so nerve cells can operate
Lipids: used for storing energy,
Three main digestive enzymes
Lipase: fat breaks into fatty acids and glycerol
Protease: breaks protein into amino acids
Amylase: breaks starch into glucose
