76 Chapter 3 | Digestion, Absorption, and Transport
The digestion of food begins even before you take that first bite. Just the sight and smell of homemade apple pie stimulates the release of saliva in
the mouth. The secretion of saliva and other digestive juices starts a cascade of
events that prepares the body for digestion, the chemical and mechanical
processes by which the body breaks food down into individual nutrient
molecules ready for absorption. Food components that aren’t absorbed are
excreted as waste (feces) by elimination. Although these are complex
processes, they go largely unnoticed. You consciously chew and swallow the
pie, but you don’t feel the release of chemicals or the muscular contractions
that cause it to be digested or the absorption of nutrient molecules through
the intestinal lining cells. In fact, you may be unaware of the entire process
until about 48 hours after eating, when the body is ready to eliminate waste.
In this chapter, we explore the processes of digestion, absorption, and
elimination, the organs involved, and the other biological mechanisms that
regulate our bodies’ processing of food and nutrients. We also discuss the causes
and treatments of some common gastrointestinal conditions and disorders.
What Are the Processes and Organs
Involved in Digestion?
LO 3.1 Describe the processes and organs involved in digestion.
Digestion, absorption, and elimination occur in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, a mus-
cular tube approximately 20–24 feet long in an adult. Stretched vertically, the tube would
be about as high as a two-story building. It provides a barrier between the food within the
lumen (the hollow .

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Gcse digestion system Q&A with exam guids
1. Two important GCSE biology questions with
their answers on the topic the digestion
system.

2. Question 1: what happens to
the food you eat?

on the exam

Marks in
exam.
3. Answer:
Simply, since the food has entered the mouth it starts a
process called DIGESTION that involves many organs
in your body to make that process successfully. The
importance of digesting food eaten is that
using/through the digesting system/process your body
can get rid of harmful and un needed substances,
besides taking up on all the beneficial minerals and
substances e.g. vitamins...
4. Question 2: Explain what
happens to the food from the
time it enters mouth to the
time the waste leaves your
anus.

board
5. Answer:
First of all, the food you eat enters the mouth, and
after that (while chewing the food and grinding it
using your teeth) a solution/ mouth produced liquid
known as saliva produced by the saliva glands. The
saliva helps to break down the food you are chewing,
and makes sure that the Bolus (when your tongue
turns the food into a ball.) to go down your Gullet or
scientifically esophagus (the tube in which food is
transported) easily!
To be
continued
6. Then the food arrives to your Stomach and it produces acids to
mix with food helping the food to break down even more than it
is! A main acid that is used in this part of the process is called '
gastric acid'. This also helps to kill bacteria and other germs that
could have got into the food. Once the stomach finds itself
finished the food enters the duodenum( following it the
jejunium and the ileum.). In the small intestine, bile (produced
in the liver and stored in the gall bladder), pancreatic enzymes,
and other digestive enzymes produced by the inner wall of the
small intestine help in the breakdown of food. After passing
through the small intestine, food passes into the large intestine.
In the large intestine, some of the water are removed from the
food. it is a real fact that the bacteria located in the large
intestines help the digestion process. However, in the large
intestines food would travel upwards until reaching the end of
the large intestines.
7. Now, the mineral's and substances of the food would
be also sent to the liver to work through the substances
and identify which ones should be kept and which
should be released out. The liver works an important
role as it cleans after the part before the very end of the
digestion system and shares around the body the good
minerals such as vitamins.
•Finally, waste is then stored/kept in the Rectum until it is excreted out of the body by the Anus.

effort in both question, you’ll surely get
