Labs 11 and 12: Digestive and Excretory Systems
Digestive System
4 processes of human digestion
Ingestion=eating
Digestion=chemical break down
Absorption=cells absorb stuff from break down
Elimination=undigested waste material is excreted out of body
Peristalsis
Involuntary waves of longitudinal and circular smooth muscle contract
Moves materials thru digestive tract
Carbohydrates-broken down during ingestion
Broken down by salivary amylase (breaks starches into disaccharide sugars)-begins in
mouth
2nd enzymatic rxn digests disaccharides to monosaccharides=absorbed by s.i.
microvilli brush border enzymes: dextrinase, glucoamylase, maltase, sucrose, and
lactase
Protein
Protease enzymes=trypsin and pepsin
Fats
Hydrolyzed to F.A.’s ad glyerol (absorbed in s.i.)
Resynthesized into new fats and enter lymphatic system
Broken down by bile into droplets that can be digested/absorbed
Gall bladder

Excretory System
Nitrogenous Waste Products
Ammonia: single N atom per molec.
o Highly toxic form
o Aquatic vertebrates-fish and amphibians
o No need to conserve H2O
Urea: 2 N atoms per molec.
o Intermediate in toxicity
o Mammals (produce concentrates urine to preserve H2O; some desert ones
survive on metab. H2O extracted from food), sharks, most amphibians, some
bony fishes
Uric acid: 4 N atoms per molec.

Document Summary

Ingestion=eating: digestion=chemical break down, absorption=cells absorb stuff from break down, elimination=undigested waste material is excreted out of body. Involuntary waves of longitudinal and circular smooth muscle contract: moves materials thru digestive tract. Carbohydrates-broken down during ingestion: broken down by salivary amylase (breaks starches into disaccharide sugars)-begins in mouth, 2nd enzymatic rxn digests disaccharides to monosaccharides=absorbed by s. i, microvilli brush border enzymes: dextrinase, glucoamylase, maltase, sucrose, and lactase. Nitrogenous waste products: ammonia: single n atom per molec, highly toxic form, aquatic vertebrates-fish and amphibians, no need to conserve h2o, urea: 2 n atoms per molec. Intermediate in toxicity: mammals (produce concentrates urine to preserve h2o; some desert ones survive on metab. H2o extracted from food), sharks, most amphibians, some bony fishes: uric acid: 4 n atoms per molec, relatively nontoxic. Insoluble: many reptiles (concentrate nitrogenous waste into semi-solid consists of uric acid crystals in small amt. of h2o), birds, insects, land snails.
