    ‭athlete’s body? Explain.‬
    ‭3.‬ ‭Which macromolecules would provide the greatest benefit as a long-term energy storage‬
    ‭molecule to a bird that migrates long distances?‬
    ‭4.‬ ‭List three important roles of water in the body.‬
    ‭5.‬ ‭Describe the four mechanisms employed by animals to obtain their food.‬
    ‭6.‬ ‭List the four stages of digestion.‬
    ‭7.‬ ‭Define the term‬‭alimentary canal‬‭.‬

    ‭3.‬ ‭Name the three sources of saliva.‬
    ‭4.‬ ‭When drinking a glass of water, a person begins to cough and claims “the water went down‬
    ‭the wrong tube”. Explain this statement, and what malfunction must have occurred within‬
    ‭the digestive system.‬
    ‭5.‬ ‭Name one symptom that may result due to a poorly functioning esophageal sphincter.‬
    ‭6.‬ ‭Name three components of gastric juice, and name the mixture that is created once this juice‬
    ‭is added to a bolus.‬
    ‭7.‬ ‭List the three sections of the small intestine in order.‬
    ‭8.‬ ‭Explain two ways that the structure of the small intestine increases the total surface area.‬
    ‭9.‬ ‭For each organ considered part of the digestive system, state the major function.‬

    ‭Topic 3: Chemical Digestion and Absorption‬


    ‭1.‬ ‭Name the component of the digestive system in which digestion begins for each of the three‬
    ‭major macromolecules. Name the enzyme (or compound) responsible for this first stage of‬
    ‭chemical digestion.‬
    ‭2.‬ ‭What happens to fats before they are digested and absorbed by the intestinal cells? Explain‬
    ‭why this occurs.‬
    ‭3.‬ ‭Explain why trypsin and chymotrypsin would be unlikely to function properly if deposited in‬
    ‭the stomach rather than the small intestine.‬
    ‭4.‬ ‭Approximately what temperature would typically be ideal for the proper function of digestive‬
    ‭enzymes?‬
    ‭5.‬ ‭What is the site of most chemical digestion? What is the pH of this particular organ?‬

    ‭Topic 4: The Function of Respiration‬


    ‭ .‬ W
    1 ‭ hat gases are exchanged during the process of respiration?‬
    ‭2.‬ ‭List and describe the four stages of respiration.‬

    ‭one organism that uses each type of respiratory surface.‬
    ‭4.‬ ‭Define the term diffusion gradient and explain how it relates to respiration.‬
    ‭5.‬ ‭Explain the mechanics involved in breathing by a human.‬
    ‭6.‬ ‭Explain why inspiration is considered the active phase of ventilation and expiration the‬
    ‭passive phase.‬
    ‭7.‬ ‭What two structures are responsible for controlling air pressure inside the thoracic cavity?‬
    ‭8.‬ ‭Sketch a diagram of a typical spirograph and label the following: tidal volume, inspiratory‬
    ‭reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, residual volume, vital capacity.‬

    ‭3.‬ ‭In a medical emergency, a physician may insert a tube down a person’s trachea to help him‬

    ‭trachea.‬
    ‭4.‬ ‭Explain the purpose of the epiglottis.‬
    ‭5.‬ ‭Describe the path a molecule of O‬‭2‬ ‭would take if starting‬‭in the external environment and‬
