BIO 101: Exam 3 (Illinois State University) questions
with accurate answers
1. digestion begins in the mouth with the physical breakdown of the food
from chewing in the chemical breakdown of food from our salivary
amylase enzymes
2. food travels down and passes the flap of skin separating the trachea
and esophagus, called the pharynx
3. food travels down the esophagus and moves to the stomach to
continue breaking down
4. in the stomach, the food goes through gastric acid and it breaks down
the proteins, also pepsin used in the stomach to continue to break the
food down. The food moves to the liver where bile is created and then
the chyme moves to the small intestine.
5. the small intestine absorbs all the nutrients from the leftover broken
down food. food travels to the pancreas which release pancreatic acid
into the small intestine. then the gall bladder stores and releases the bile
once again into the small intestine.
6. large intestine absorbs all the remaining water from the bile befo
Ans✓✓✓ Identify the structures and functions of the digestive system
(six steps)
1. it starts in the mouth and/or nose when we inhale oxygen
2. then the pharynx pushes the air into the trachea
3. from there the trachea (long pipe from the pharynx to the lungs)
moves the oxygenated air to the lungs
4. (in the lung) then the air is moved to the bronchi which moves air
deeper into the bronchioles
, 5. (in the lung) in the bronchioles, the air is moved to the alveoli
6. (in the lung) lastly, the alveoli push out the CO2 and oxygen, in a gas
exchange and then the whole process starts backwards from step 6-1
with the CO2 Ans✓✓✓ Identify the structures and functions of the
respiratory system (six simple steps)
1. low-sugar lifestyle (fruit instead of juice, beware of enriched flours,
2. maintain a healthy weight
3. exercise 30 mins a day Ans✓✓✓ How to prevent type 2 diabetes
1. right atrium takes the unoxygenated blood to the right ventricle
2. the right ventricle moves the unoxygenated blood to the lungs. the
pulmonary circuit moves the blood to the lungs.
3. the lungs pick up the unoxgyenated blood and push out the
oxygenated blood
4. the left atrium moves the oxygenated blood to the left ventricle
5. the then left ventricle pushes the oxygenated blood to the rest of the
body
6. the the systematic circuit gives blood to the rest of the body
Ans✓✓✓ Identify the structures and functions of the circulatory system
(six simple steps)
1st stage of childbirth Ans✓✓✓ dilations and effacement where the
cervix becomes thin and opens about 10cm and contractions begin
