Ureter are Tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Bladder is an organ holds the urine until it builds up and is released. Urethra is a tube where urine is released from the body. Lingis DIFFERENCES - The digestive system breaks down food and exeretes solid waste. It involves the mouth, stomach, liver, bile duct, and small and large intestines while the excretory system collects and filters the water in your body and excretes it as liquid waste. It involves the kidneys, urethra, and bladder. There are two Types of Digestion : Mechanical and chemical digestion Mechanical digestion is when food is physically broken into smaller parts. For instance, by chewing. And Chemical digestion when food is broken down by acids and enzymes into its basic units. Possible Diseases The two possible diseases related to Digestive and Excretory systems we chose are: Constipation and Kidney Failure. Constipation most commonly occurs when waste or stool moves too slowly through the digestive or cannot be eliminated effectively from the rectum, which may cause the stool to become hard and dry. Based on what we have gathered, we found out some proper ways on how people can counteract these two discases. For Constipation, drink plenty of fluids, include plenty of high fiber foods in your diet, such as beans, vegetables, fruits, whole grain cereals. Eat fewer foods with low fiber content and try to create a regular schedule for bowel movements, especially after meals. The two most common causes of kidney failure are high blood pressure and diabetes. They can also be harmed as a result of physical injury, discases, or other disorders. Diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and kidney failure, so keep your blood sugar under control. That's just one reason to manage your blood sugar. Control your blood pressure; high blood pressure increases your risk of heart discase and kidney failure. Reduce your sodium intake; consuming too much salt has been associated with a higher blood pressure. Gomez Quick trivia and facts about the digestive system. Do you know that the muscles in your esophagus act like a giant wave? That is what moves food or drinks down to your stomach. This wave action is called peristalsis and the small intestine is about 22-23 feet long while the large intestine is only about 5 feet long, quite ironic for their names huh? Lastly, your body can move your food through the digestive system even while you are standing on your head. It is not connected to gravity because it works with muscles. With the concepts being said, let us now move on to the next one. So, what are the nutrients being absorbed by the small and large intestine? Enzymes are being break down the largest molecules of food, such as proteins and starches, they also neutralize stomach acid. Some minerals are absorbed here, such as iron and folate. The middle part of small intestine is the jejunum, it absorbs most of the nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, minerals, proteins, and vitamins. The lowest part of small intestine is the ileum, this is where the
