    Digestion
    • Phases Include
    1. Ingestion
    2. Movement
    3. Digestion
    4. Assimilation or Absorption
    5. Excretion/ Elimination/
    Egestion
    Digestive System Organization
    • Gastrointestinal (Gl) tract
    o Tube within a tube
    o Direct link/path between organs
    o Structures
    • Mouth
    • Pharynx
    • Esophagus
    • Stomach
    • Small intestine
    • Large Intestine
    • Rectum

    Mouth
    • Teeth mechanically • Epiglottis is a flap-like
    break down food into structure at the back of
    small pieces. Tongue the throat that closes
    mixes food with saliva over the trachea
    (contains amylase, preventing food from
    which helps break down entering it.
    starch).
    Esophagus
    • Approximately 10” long
    • Functions include:
    1. Secrete mucus
    2. Moves food from the throat to
    the stomach using muscle
    movement called peristalsis
    • If acid from the stomach gets in
    here that’s heartburn.
    Esophagus
    • Long tube of smooth
    muscle that connects the
    pharynx with the
    stomach
    • Chewed clump of food =
    bolus
    • Tongue and muscles push
    bolus down throat
    • Epiglottis closes over
    trachea to keep food out
    09/09/2022 16
    Stomach
    • J-shaped muscular bag that stores the
    food you eat, breaks it down into tiny
    pieces.
    • Mixes food with digestive juices that
    contain enzymes to break down
    proteins and lipids.
    • Acid in the stomach kills bacteria.
    • Food found in the stomach is called
    chyme.

    Small Intestine
    • Small intestines are roughly 7.5
    meters long
    • Lining of intestine walls has
    finger-like projections called
    villi, to increase surface area.
    • The villi are covered in
    microvilli which further
    increases surface area for
    absorption.

    19
    09/09/2022 20
    Small Intestine
    • Nutrients from the food pass into
    the bloodstream through the small
    intestine walls.

    • Absorbs:
    o 80% ingested water
    o Vitamins
    o Minerals
    o Carbohydrates
    o Proteins
    o Lipids

    • Secretes digestive enzymes

    21
    09/09/2022 22
    Large Intestine
    • About 5 feet long
    • Accepts what small
    intestines don’t absorb
    • Rectum (short term storage
    which holds feces before it
    is expelled).
    Large Intestine
    • Functions
    o Bacterial digestion
    • Ferment carbohydrates
    • Protein breakdown

    – Absorbs more water


    – Concentrate wastes
    Accessory Organs
    • Not part of the path of
    food, but play a critical
    role.

    • Include: Liver, gall


    bladder, and pancreas
    Liver
    • Directly affects digestion
    by producing bile
    o Bile helps digest fat
    • filters out toxins and
    waste including drugs
    and alcohol

    26
    Gall Bladder
    • Stores bile from the
    liver, releases it into the
    small intestine.
    • Fatty diets can cause
    gallstones
    Pancreas
    • Produces digestive
    enzymes to digest fats,
    carbohydrates and
    proteins
    • Regulates blood sugar
    by producing insulin
    Fun Facts
    • HOW LONG ARE YOUR INTESTINES? At least 25
    feet in an adult. Be glad you're not a full-grown horse --
    their coiled-up intestines are 89 feet long!
    • Food drying up and hanging out in the large intestine
    can last 18 hours to 2 days!
    • In your lifetime, your digestive system may handle
    about 50 tons!!
    ASSIGNMENT!

    STUDY and
    PREPARE for a
    20-item TEST
