What are two different ways food is digested?
Food reaches the stomach through the oesophagus after it is ingested. It enters the stomach throught the cardiac sphincter, a band of circular muscles that allow the entrance of food substances into the stomach. the food in the stomach is then acted upon by the gastric gland present in the stomach that secrete gastric juices- HCl, renin and Pepsin. Pepsin acts on the proteins present in the food to convert them into smaller molecules called peptides. This action of pepsin requires the presence of Hcl acid as pepsin works better in an acidic medium. In this way, food is broken down. Moreover, the stomach in the mean time performs peristalsis, the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of muscles. This also results in breaking down of food.
What is another word for break down?
Breaking down can be described as "decomposing". Something that can break something down or decompose something is catabolic. Often used in science, catabolic means that a formula or chemical is breaking down another. Your stomach acid digesting food is an act of being catabolic. It can also be called a psychotic break if referring to a person. Synonyms for breaking down can include "spell out", "shed light on", "make plain", elucidate, simplify, "make clear", interpret, illuminate, delineate, class, codify.
What is the function of oesophagua?
You mean the ESOPHAGUS. It is the muscular tube that leads down from the throat to the stomach, through which chewed food passes to be chemically dissolved in the stomach. Technically, it begins just below the area where the larynx is located, and ends at the Cardiac Sphincter. It assists the passage of food down to the stomach by a process called peristalsis, by which rings of muscle squeeze the chewed food downwards.
Is it possible for a urinary system to break?
Sure. It does that on occasion. In breaking, if you mean breaking down, that would mean renal failure and without medical intervention, the result would be death.
Substances that cannot be broken down by chemical mean?
Substances that cannot be chemically broken down into simpler substances are called elements.

Weathering is the breaking down of particles, but did you mean erosion?
What does phenethylamine mean in a toxicology report?

What does 'top-down' design mean?
From very high (the top) abstraction [down] to lower (more detailed) ones. Breaking a system into some smaller chunks, then for each chunks do more breaking or slicing.
What does decomposers mean?
