Respond to the following based on your reading. A type of tissue called tissue is responsible for communicating between the brain and the rest of the body. The system is responsible for fighting off viruses and bacteria that invade the body. When we encounter pathogens or bacteria in the dirt, or in everyday life, the first line of defense that forms a barrier between our organs and the pathogen is the system. The fructose sugar found in honey is an example of a , which is a great source of raw energy. A, D, and K are all types of , which are organic compounds needed in small amounts. Magnesium, iron, and phosphorus are all , which are inorganic compounds needed in small amounts. Scurvy is a deficiency in and results in bleeding gums and slow healing wounds. A Vitamin D deficiency that causes deformed bones is known as . The is the term for the mixture of food and digestive enzymes that leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine. The filter waste from blood, creating urine. Describe what is meant by a "feedback loop" and how the body responds to changes to maintain homeostasis in blood sugar. Describe the four major steps of digestion, and discuss the organs involved in each. Your Response 1.nervous 2.immune 3.integumentary 4.carbohydrate 5.vitamins 6.minerals 7.vitamin C 8.rickets 9.chyme 10. Kidneys 11. Feedback loops are when the body responds to signals, like insulin, that appears when the balance of something is off. When blood sugar is too high, insulin signals the liver to absorb more blood sugar, returning it to normal. When blood sugar is low, glucagon signals the body to release stored glucose to raise blood sugar back to normal. 12. Ingestion is when food comes into the body through the mouth and down the esophagus. Digestion begins chemically with enzymes in saliva, and mechanically with the teeth, and continues when food (as a bolus) enters the stomach to be dissolved by acid and pepsin. Food (chyme) then goes into the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed through the villi. Waste is then eliminated through the large intestine, rectum, and anus.
