Subject: Digestion: What begins to happen to the food you place in your mouth?

Name:

Date:

Directions: Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: What begins to happen to the food you place in your mouth? 

Level#1

The mouth is the place where digestion begins. Food is broken down into smaller pieces by the teeth. Breaking, crushing, and mashing food are forms of mechanical digestion.

1. What begins in the mouth?





2. What do we use to break food down into smaller pieces in our mouth?





3. How do we mechanically digest food in our mouth?







Level#2

The mouth is the place where digestion begins. Food is broken down into smaller pieces by the teeth. Breaking, crushing, and mashing food are forms of mechanical digestion. An enzyme is a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction. When a chemical reaction happens in the digestive system, the process is called chemical digestion.

1. What begins in the mouth?




2. What do we use to break down food into smaller pieces in our mouth?





3. How do we mechanically digest food in our mouth?





4. What needs to happen for the process of chemical digestion to go on?










Level#3

The mouth is the place where digestion begins. Food is broken down into smaller pieces by the teeth. Breaking, crushing, and mashing food are forms of mechanical digestion. An enzyme is a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction. When a chemical reaction happens in the digestive system, the process is called chemical digestion. Teeth are covered in a hard material called enamel. They also have roots. The roots contain nerves and blood vessels. Humans have four types of teeth: canine, incisors, premolars, and molars.

1. What begins in the mouth?




2. What do we use to break food down into smaller pieces in our mouth?




3. How do we mechanically digest food in our mouth?




4. When does the process of chemical digestion occur?




5. What are contained in the roots of human teeth?

Level#1: Colds and flus are the most common disorders of the respiratory system. These disorders are infections that are caused by viruses and bacteria. They irritate your lungs and cause a buildup of mucus. Severe colds and flus can cause pneumonia, a condition that fills the lungs with fluid.

1. What can severe colds and flus cause and what happens to the lungs?

2. What are the causes of infections that happen in the lungs?

3. How do colds and flus affect the lungs?

Level#2: Colds and flus are the most common disorders of the respiratory system. These disorders are infections that are caused by viruses and bacteria. They irritate your lungs and cause a buildup of mucus. Severe colds and flus can cause pneumonia, a condition that fills the lungs with fluid. Medicines can help cure this condition. if untreated, pneumonia can be deadly. Allergies, such as hay fever, and asthma, are also common respiratory disorders. More serious disorders of the respiratory system include emphysema and lung cancer.

1. Besides colds and flus, what are other common respiratory disorders?

2. What are examples of more serious respiratory disorders?

3. Why could pneumonia be considered a serious respiratory disorder?

Level#3: Colds and flus are the most common disorders of the respiratory system. These disorders are infections that are caused by viruses and bacteria. They irritate your lungs and cause a buildup of mucus. Severe colds and flus can cause pneumonia, a condition that fills the lungs with fluid. Medicines can help cure this condition. if untreated, pneumonia can be deadly. Allergies, such as hay fever, and asthma, are also common respiratory disorders. More serious disorders of the respiratory system include emphysema and lung cancer. These diseases are both very serious. They are often caused by smoking. The tar found in cigarettes can clog the air sacs in the lungs, making it harder to breathe. This damage to the lungs can lead to lung cancer. Your health is your responsibility. Do not smoke. If you get sick with a cold or flu, get plenty of rest, drink a lot of fluids. If cold and flu symptoms do not get better in a week or two go see a doctor. Get a check-up once a year even if you feel healthy.

1. Give an example of a serious respiratory disorder and what causes it.

2. Explain the role that tar plays in emphysema and what it can lead to.

3. Give two examples of how you can take responsibility for your health.

Level#1: Inhaled air moves into your throat. Both air and food pass down the throat. Food continues through it to another tube that leads to the stomach. Next, air moves into the trachea. The trachea, or windpipe, brings air from your throat into your lungs. When you swallow a flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, closes. It keeps food and liquids out of the trachea.

1. Where does the air, you breathe in, go after it leaves the throat?






2. What is the job of the trachea?





3. What is the job of the epiglottis?









Level#2: Inhaled air moves into your throat. Both air and food pass down the throat. Food continues through it to another tube that leads to the stomach. Next, air moves into the trachea. The trachea, or windpipe, brings air from your throat into your lungs. When you swallow a flap of tissue, called the epiglottis, closes. It keeps food and liquids out of the trachea. The trachea divides into two smaller tubes. These smaller tubes are called bronchi. Each of these tubes (bronchus) goes into a lung. Air moves through these small tubes and into your lungs. You have two lungs. They are big, spongy organs. In each lung, the bronchus branches into smaller and smaller tubes. These tubes end in millions of tiny air sacs. These air sacs are called alveoli.

1. Where does the air go after it leaves the throat?





2. What does the trachea do?





3. What is the epiglottis and why is it important?

You have two lungs. They are big, spongy organs. In each lung, the bronchus branches into smaller and smaller tubes. These tubes end in millions of tiny air sacs. These air sacs are called alveoli. In these sacs, gases are exchanged. Oxygen passes into capillaries. The waste gas carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the air sacs. You get rid of carbon dioxide when you breathe out, or exhale.

1. Explain the process that gets air into the lungs.






2. What is the epiglottis and what does it do?






3. What does the trachea divide into, what are they called, and where do they go?
