Matt and Maria have now received and begun to eat their Chinese takeout. They have accomplished biting off a portion of a piece of their General Tso's chicken and rice and proceeded to chew and swallow. For this report, you will describe the path the chicken and rice follows and the physiological processing that take place to convert the chicken and rice into their nutritional components that can be used by the body for energy and homeostatic processes. Consider the following as you proceed through your research and discussion of this topic.

1.Through which organs, and in what order does the bolus of food travel?

2. How long does the food remain in each segment of the digestive tract and what physiological processing takes place during this time?

3. What role does the autonomic nervous system play in controlling the movement of food through the digestive tract? What other physical or physiological factors can impact the movement of food though the digestive tract?

4. What specific enzyme or other digestive substances are associated with each segment of the digestive tract and which cells produce these substances? What specific components of the chicken and rice (proteins, carbohydrates, etc.) are processed by each of these substances?

5. What role do the accessory digestive organs play in the process? What are the specific cells of each of these accessory organs and what substances do they produce? Where in the digestive tract are the substances introduced into the digestive process?

6.What is the ultimate fate of the digested chicken and rice? What was the initial biological structure of the nutritional components first consumed (example proteins breaking down to their simpler components) and what are the resulting products resulting from digestion that are now ready and available for use by the body for energy and homeostasis?

7. What is the fate of the solid and fluid components that are not absorbed into the body? When and where does control of movement of digestive tract content transition from the autonomic nervous system controlled smooth muscles to peripheral nervous system control of voluntary skeletal muscles?

What muscle type has the lowest concentration of Ca-AtPase


A. Smooth muscle

B.Cardiac Muscle

C. Skeletal Muscle


Why Does smooth muscle consume less oxygen per unit ofcontraction compared to skeletal muscle?


a. the bers are smaller

b.there are fewer mitochondria

c. the myosin ATPase is slower

d. the fivers are elctrically coupled

e. all of the above


A post-ganglionic neuron's dendrite expresses nicotinccholinergic receptors and the axon targets the ventricles. Thisneuron is:


a. from the sympathetic branch of the automic nervous system

b. from the parasympatheic branch of the automic nervoussystem

c. a somatic efferent neuron



1. The two major divisions of the nervous system are the CNS and the PNS.(T or F)

2. Action potentials normally travel along an axon in either direction depending on the needs of the animal.(T or F)

3. The axon of a nerve cell carries signals toward the part of the cell that houses the nucleus.(T or F)

4. When you are nervous you notice that your mouth is dry and your heart is racing. This is caused by the sympathetic division of your autonomic nervous system.(T or F)

5. The PNS consists of the somatic nervous system which controls smooth muscles etc. and the autonomic nervous system which sends messages to the skeletal muscles. (T or F)

6. When you do not have 20/20 vision and wear contact lenses or eye glasses, they work to improve your sight because they bend the light rays to correct your vision. (T or F)

7. All of the following are examples of a general category of sensory receptors: thermoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, electromagnetic receptors, chemoreceptors, and auditory receptors.(T or F)

8. If an animal is diurnal (active during the day) it probably has more cones in its eyes to distinguish more colors because its prey may have evolved to be camouflaged in the daylight.(T or F)

9. If you could not move the muscles in your eye, you would still expect that you could focus on different objects at different distances.(T or F)

10. If you had a pet spider and looked him lovingly in the eye you would see that he has a compound eye rather than a single lens like you would find in your own eye. (T or F)
