The oral cavity consists of teeth and tongue. The tongue helps in moving and swallowing the food molecules and it also has various papillae and taste buds that can detect the sweet, sour and bitter taste of the food. Salivary glands are also present in the oral cavity that secretes salivary amylase which is involved in digesting the starch content of the food molecule. Teeth are basically involved in the chewing process that helps in breaking down large food molecules into its smaller form.

- Please I need help understanding this questionarrow_forwardThis conceptual exercise is meant to get you thinking not only about organ system function, but also about organ system DYSFUNCTION. For this extra credit assignment, please submit a brief essay (1-2 pages in length) discussing a disease state. Start by describing the way the organ system functions in a normal physiological state. Describe each organ in the system and its function. Next introduce the mechanism of dysfunction in the disease state. Be sure to discuss which organs are malfunctioning and how that affects the other organs in the system. Ie, which other organs have to pick up the slack and how do they accomplish this? Next discuss the impact this has on other organ systems. Ie, how are other organ systems which rely on the malfunctioning system affected and how do they compensate? Finally, discuss current treatment options and weigh their costs and benefits. If there are any, mention preventative measures a healthy individual could take to avoid the disease, if possible.arrow_forwardWhich of the following tissue masses produce saliva? 1. Parotid 2.
