vii. Myology

i. Liver which is a gland and others are parts of digestive tract.

ii. Chyme, it is a liquid food others are digestive juices.

1. Cardiac muscles are found in the heart. 

2. These muscles bring about the contraction and relaxation (beating) of the heart. 

3. Their movement is involuntary. 

4. Cardiac muscles cause our heart to relax and contract continuously at a rate of about 70 times per minute. They do not depend upon our will. 

5. Beating is carried out in their own fixed manner.

So cardiac muscles are said to be involuntary muscles.

1. Physical health is important for our organ system to function properly. 

2. But harmful habits like smoking, chewing of tobacco, drinking alcohol affect our health adversely. 

3. If we consume any tobacco products, the mouth, pharynx, alimentary canal, and other organs of the digestive system cannot function properly. 

4. It causes problems like vomiting, nausea, and headache. 

5. Tobacco particles stick to teeth, gums, and skin of the mouth cavity and slowly cause injury to those parts resulting in their dysfunction. 

6. This causes swelling of the gums and pain when moving the jaws. 

7. The pharynx and intestine become inflamed it progress into cancer leading to death.

Muscles are bundles of fibres that can contract and relax as required.

1. The action of muscles is necessary for all kinds of movements from the small movements of eyelid to those that demand great strength when chopping wood with an axe.

2. We use muscles for various movements like talking laughing, walking, jumping, throwing etc. 

3. Therefore our muscles should be strong and efficient to do our day today work well and smooth functioning of life processes.

Muscles are bundles of fibres that can contract and relax as required. 

There are three types of muscles.

• Skeletal muscles.
• Heart or cardiac muscles.
• Smooth muscles.

1. Skeletal muscles: (a) Skeletal muscles work with bones, the two ends of each of these muscles are attached to two different bones. (b) They are responsible for holding the bones of the skeleton together and giving shape to our body, (c) Skeletal muscles permits movement of t the body and maintain the posture of the body. (d) Skeletal muscle is voluntary e.g. muscles in our arms and legs are voluntary muscles, their action depends upon our will. That’s why they are called voluntary muscles.

2. Heart or cardiac muscles: (a) Heart or cardiac muscles bring about the contraction and relaxation (beating) of the heart. (b) Their movement is involuntary, (c) Cardiac muscles cause our heart to relax and contract continuously at a rate of about 70 times per minute, (d) Cardiac muscle is found in heart.

3. Smooth muscles: (a) These muscles are present in the internal organs other than the heart, e.g. muscles of the stomach, intestine, blood vessels, uterus etc. (b)Their movements are involuntary and slow, (c) They are not according to our will. (d) Various vital functions of our body such as digestion, respiration and movement of food material of which we remain quite unaware, are carried out by these special muscles.

1. Stress is the main cause of acidity. 

2. Hectic lifestyle and stress can lead to unhealthy or irregular meals, not good for digestion process, and this may cause acidity. 

3. Other reasons are eating spicy food, drinking too much alcohol, missing meals, an empty stomach may lead to acidity. 

4. Acidity leads to stomach upset, burning sensation in chest and stomach, constriction of blood vessels, weight gain, obesity, cardiovascular damage.

There are four types of teeth, namely incisors, canines, pre-molars, and molars.

Each tooth is covered by a hard substance called enamel. Enamel is made up of calcium salt.

The process of digestion begins with the function of the teeth in the mouth.

1. Incisors: (a) These come in first 6-months of age. Incisors are the eight teeth in the front and centre four on top and four on bottom, (b) They are sharp and blade like for cutting food. e.g. for biting an apple, (c) We use them to take first bite of food.

2. Canines: (a) These are strong and pointed, sharpest of all for tearing food. e.g. to tear off a piece of tough meat, (b) They play important role in digestion of food, (c) They appear between 11 and 20 months of age.

3. Pre-molar: Pre molar share features of both canines and molars. (a) You can use them for grinding and chewing food. So that it becomes semi-liquid helping to gulp down the throat easily, (b) They are situated at each side of your mouth in deep settings, (c) They appear at the age of 10 years.

4. Molar: (a) These are broad and flat on top for crushing and grinding food. e.g. to grind up nutmeats. (b) Two teeth above and two teeth below, they appear at the age 11-13 years. (c) Molars are more prone to germ attack because of their remote location in our mouth.

So we should keep them clean.
