Get ready for the dangerous ride of a banana getting crushed, smashed, and absorbed through the digestive system. “Watch out for the involuntary muscles which they can’t even control and voluntary muscles they can control, but will still use thriving to help get our nutrients by crushing us.” everyone has always said but, that didn’t stop him. Once Banana was ripe enough the farmer has picked him. Banana thought is was chosen for an amusement park. because everyone else says it’ll be like a scary rollercoaster, he took it literally…
When Banana was loaded into the delivery truck there was a real rough path ahead. Then he hit the first bump ‘woosh’ the truck loses half of it’s load causing it to go faster. Banana was on the top of the load now waiting anxiously to get to the destination. When they arrived they had to be boxed back up then sailed across the ocean to the United States. When Banana was moved to a local Safeway he was then bought by a family and so on.
The day the child had eaten Banana; was the day he died. After being pulled in by the lips, Banana got crushed in the mouth by the incisors, canines, molars, and premolars the types of teeth. They were white and terrifying. Then after the horror of being mechanically digested by the teeth. By squirting through the salivary glands saliva drowns Banana with enzymes such as ptyalin breaking down his nutrients into easier absorbable nutrients by chemical digestion for the child.

...ould make someone choke. Also, if the esophagus was not working food would get stuck causing it not to transfer food to the stomach to break it down, and it would block the windpipe so the human couldn't obtain oxygen. Another catastrophe would be if the liver wasn’t working because it would cause the gallbladder to be affected because there would be no bile, and if the gallbladder wasn’t working bile wouldn’t be released. Proteins wouldn’t be broken down without a pancreas so we need that. Also if the large intestine wasn’t doing its job waste would still be full of water making it runny, and if the rectum wasn’t working there would be no storage of waste. Lastly if the anus wasn’t working there wouldn’t be any release of waste which could cause a person to get sick. That is why all parts of the digestive system is important, and what journey it takes.
In this book, Dr. Bass takes us behing the scenes of the Body Farm. An engaging storyteller, he reveals his hardest and best cases. While this book tells about Bass’s life, it is centered around the Body Farm itself because it tells of how it was started. This book is very informative and it tells you that even though it is a dead body, it can still tell many tales and it can mean a lot to history, This book shows just how the dead can come to

Jose Antonio Burciaga, in his essay “Tortillas”, leads us to believe that tortillas actually helped to make him who he is (507). I am not convinced that banana pudding helped to mold me into the man I am today, but it definitely plays a big role in many of the memories I have made throughout my life. As far as my family is concerned, banana pudding is more than a desert; it is a reminder of family gatherings, loved ones, and days gone by.
Through performing dissections, the interrelationships between functioning systems can be further understood. In the dissection of the fetal pig, three interrelationships can be defined: cardiovascular and respiratory, digestive and excretory, and digestive and cardiovascular.
Haven't you ever wondered what would happen if you didn't have a digestive or circulatory system? Well, basically you wouldn't be able to be reading this or even be alive. While there are many important systems in the body, the circulatory and digestive are the two most important. There are many ways that they are similar, different, and how they work together.
Even though bananas may simply look like a fruit, they signify a wide variety of environmental, economic, social, and political problems. The banana trade injustices in the global trade market, symbolizes economic imperialism, and the worldwide spread of the agricultural economy. Bananas are also number four on the list of staple crops in the world and one of the major profit makers in supermarkets, making them vital for economic and global food security. Being one of the many first tropical fruits to be exported, bananas were a cheap way to bring “the tropics” to North America and Europe. Bananas have become such a widespread, inexpensive grocery item that we often forget where they come from and how they got here.
The digestive systems functions are to digest food, absorb any end products that were digested (including vitamins and minerals). The physiological processes of the digestive system are ingestion, propulsion, mechanical breakdown, digestion, absorption and defecation. Mechanical digestion means to use force in order to break down food for example the use of chewing or the contraction of muscles. Chemical digestion is when the food is broken down chemically into smaller particles such as the use of the saliva in the mouth.
Digestion is defined as the process of transforming foods into unites for absorption. The Digestive System is a complex network of organisms that have six major processes: The digestion of food, the secretion of fluids and digestive enzymes, the mixing and movement of food and waste throughout the body, the digestion of food into smaller pieces, the absorption of nutrients, and the excretion of wastes (Inner Body (1).)

The human digestion system is very complex. It starts with the mouth, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine, then ends/exits with the anus. Each step is essential to the whole system. For example, the mouth chews food and mixes it with saliva produced by the salivary glands, and then the pharynx swallows chewed food mixed with saliva, this is followed by the food traveling through the esophagus to the stomach where the food gets a bath and mixes with acids and enzymes. After the stomach, the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder produce, stores, and releases bile and bicarbonates. Bile is produced in the liver and aids in digestion and absorption of fat while the gallbladder stores bile and releases it into the small intestine when needed. Following the process into the small intestine, this is where nutrients will be absorbed into the blood or lymph (most digestion occurs here). Next is the large intestine this is where water and some vitamins and minerals are absorbed. Finally, it is the end of the road, the anus. At...
This methodology resulted in many happy banana-eating Americans, so they kept going. Now, that the UFCO was producing bananas at a rapid rate, they faced an issue–bananas were still relatively new to the Americas. So, the
The banana is one of the most important fruits with the average American consuming thirty three pounds of bananas a year. “Bananas became a commodity a little over a century ago”. As stated by Wiley “perhaps more than any other agriculture product, the banana reflects the colonial, neocolonial, economic nationalism, and contemporary neoliberal stages of the evolution of the evolution of the global economy”. Wiley contends that the fruits short shelf life shaped the global economy. When the Spaniards first introduced the fruit to the western hemisphere the whole plant had to be transported for propagation.
The digestive system is very responsible for taking the whole food that people eat and turns them into energy and nutrients to allow the body to function, grow, and fix itself. The six primary processes of this system are ingestion of food, secretion of fluids and digestive enzymes, mixing and movement of food and waste throughout the body, digestion of food into small pieces, absorbing the nutrients, and the elimination of wastes. Ingestion is the first function of the digestive system, which is also known as the intake of food. The mouth is the reasoning for this process because through the mouth is the way food enters the body. The stomach and the mouth store food until your stomach is ready to digest the food that was just eaten. The reason why people can only eat a few times a day is because your body can only allow a certain amount of food depending on your body weight and type, and it cannot ingest more food than it can process at one time. The next step in Secretion, this happens in the course of the day. The digestive system secretes about 7 liters of fluid daily, but these fluids include saliva, mucus, hydrochloric acid, enzymes, and bile...
(Litz) So, really the banana is much different than what people think they are. Even with over 35
The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess, unnecessary materials from the body fluids of an organism, so as to help maintain internal chemical homeostasis and prevent damage to the body. The dual function of excretory systems is the elimination of the waste products of metabolism and to drain the body of used up and broken down components in a liquid and gaseous state. In humans and other amniotes most of these substances leave the body as urine and to some degree exhalation, mammals also expel them through sweating.
