© 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. The Digestive System and Body Metabolism The Digestive System and Body Metabolism

The Digestive System Functions © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. I NGESTION — taking in food D IGESTION — breaking food into nutrient molecules A BSORPTION — movement of nutrients into the bloodstream D EFECATION — excretes to rid the body of indigestible waste

Anatomy of the Digestive System © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Two main groups of organs Alimentary canal (gastrointestinal or GI tract)— continuous, coiled, hollow tube These organs ingest, digest, absorb, defecate Accessory digestive organs Include teeth, tongue, and several large digestive organs Assist digestion in various ways

Organs of the Alimentary Canal © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. The ALIMENTARY CANAL is a continuous, coiled, hollow tube that runs through the ventral cavity from stomach to anus Mouth Pharynx Esophagus (MAPLESS) Stomach Small intestine Large intestine Anus

Stomach © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Structure of the stomach mucosa Simple columnar epithelium composed almost entirely of mucous cells Mucous cells produce bicarbonate- rich alkaline mucus Dotted by gastric pits leading to gastric glands that secrete gastric juice, including: Intrinsic factor, which is needed for vitamin B 12 absorption in the small intestine

Stomach © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Structure of the stomach mucosa (continued) Chief cells — produce protein- digesting enzymes (pepsinogens) Parietal cells — produce hydrochloric acid that activates enzymes Mucous neck cells — produce thin acidic mucus ( different from the mucus produced by mucous cells of the mucosa ) Enteroendocrine cells — produce local hormones such as gastrin

Stomach © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Functions Temporary storage tank for food Site of food breakdown Chemical breakdown of protein begins Delivers chyme (processed food) to the small intestine

Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. The body’s major digestive organ Longest portion of the alimentary tube (2–4 m, or 7–13 feet, in a living person ) Site of nutrient absorption into the blood Muscular tube extending from the pyloric sphincter to the ileocecal valve Suspended from the posterior abdominal wall by the mesentery

Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Subdivisions Duodenum Jejunum Ileum

Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Chemical digestion begins in the small intestine Enzymes produced by intestinal cells and pancreas are carried to the duodenum by pancreatic ducts Bile, formed by the liver, enters the duodenum via the bile duct Hepatopancreatic ampulla is the location where the main pancreatic duct and bile ducts join

Figure 14.6 The duodenum of the small intestine and related organs. Right and left hepatic ducts from liver Cystic duct Common hepatic duct Bile duct and sphincter Accessory pancreatic duct Gallbladder Duodenal papilla Hepatopancreatic ampulla and sphincter Pancreas Jejunum Main pancreatic duct and sphincter Duodenum © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.

Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Structural modifications Increase surface area for food absorption Decrease in number toward the end of the small intestine Villi — fingerlike projections formed by the mucosa House a capillary bed and lacteal Microvilli — tiny projections of the plasma membrane (brush border enzymes) Circular folds (plicae circulares)— deep folds of mucosa and submucosa

Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Peyer’s patches Collections of lymphatic tissue Located in submucosa Increase in number toward the end of the small intestine More are needed there because remaining food residue contains much bacteria

Large Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Larger in diameter, but shorter in length at 1.5 m, than the small intestine Extends from the ileocecal valve to the anus Subdivisions Cecum Appendix Colon Rectum Anal canal

Large Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Cecum— saclike first part of the large intestine Appendix Hangs from the cecum Accumulation of lymphoid tissue that sometimes becomes inflamed (appendicitis)

Large Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Colon Ascending — travels up right side of abdomen and makes a turn at the right colic (hepatic) flexure Transverse — travels across the abdominal cavity and turns at the left colic (splenic) flexure Descending — travels down the left side Sigmoid — S- shaped region; enters the pelvis Sigmoid colon, rectum, and anal canal are located in the pelvis

Large Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Anal canal ends at the anus Anus— opening of the large intestine External anal sphincter — formed by skeletal muscle and is voluntary Internal anal sphincter — formed by smooth muscle and is involuntary These sphincters are normally closed except during defecation The large intestine delivers indigestible food residues to the body’s exterior

Accessory Digestive Organs © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Teeth Salivary glands Pancreas Liver Gallbladder

Teeth © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Teeth masticate (chew) food into smaller fragments Humans have two sets of teeth during a lifetime Deciduous (baby or milk) teeth A baby has 20 teeth by age 2 First teeth to appear are the lower central incisors Permanent teeth Replace deciduous teeth between ages 6 and 12 A full set is 32 teeth (with the wisdom teeth)

Figure 14.9 Deciduous and permanent teeth. Incisors Central (6–8 mo) Lateral (8–10 mo) Canine (eyetooth) (16–20 mo) Molars First molar (10–15 mo) Second molar (about 2 yr) Incisors Central (7 yr) Lateral (8 yr) Canine (eyetooth) (11 yr) Premolars (bicuspids) First premolar (11 yr) Second premolar (12–13 yr) Molars First molar (6–7 yr) Second molar (12–13 yr) Third molar (wisdom tooth) (17–25 yr) Deciduous (milk) teeth Permanent teeth © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.

Teeth © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Teeth are classified according to shape and function Incisors— cutting Canines (eyeteeth)— tearing or piercing Premolars (bicuspids)— grinding Molars— grinding

Teeth © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Two major regions of a tooth Crown Root

Teeth © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Crown— exposed part of tooth above the gingiva (gum) Enamel— covers the crown Dentin— found deep to the enamel and forms the bulk of the tooth, surrounds the pulp cavity Pulp cavity— contains connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerve fibers (pulp) Root canal— where the pulp cavity extends into the root

Teeth © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Root Cement— covers outer surface and attaches the tooth to the periodontal membrane (ligament) Periodontal membrane holds tooth in place in the bony jaw Note : The neck is a connector between the crown and root Region in contact with the gum

Liver © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Digestive role is to produce bile Bile leaves the liver through the common hepatic duct and enters duodenum through the bile duct Bile is yellow- green, watery solution containing: Bile salts and bile pigments (mostly bilirubin from the breakdown of hemoglobin) Cholesterol, phospholipids , and electrolytes Bile emulsifies (breaks down) fats

Gallbladder © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Green sac found in a shallow fossa in the inferior surface of the liver When no digestion is occurring, bile backs up the cystic duct for storage in the gallbladder While in the gallbladder, bile is concentrated by the removal of water When fatty food enters the duodenum, the gallbladder spurts out stored bile

Functions of the Digestive System © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Overview of gastrointestinal processes and controls Digestion Absorption We will cover six more specific processes next

Overview of Gastrointestinal Processes and Controls © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Essential processes of the GI tract Ingestion— placing of food into the mouth Propulsion— movement of foods from one region of the digestive system to another Peristalsis— alternating waves of contraction and relaxation that squeeze food along the GI tract Segmentation— movement of materials back and forth to foster mixing in the small intestine

Functions of the Digestive System © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Essential processes of the GI tract (continued) 3. Food breakdown: mechanical breakdown Examples Mixing of food in the mouth by the tongue Churning of food in the stomach Segmentation in the small intestine Mechanical digestion prepares food for further degradation by enzymes

Functions of the Digestive System © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Essential processes of the GI tract (continued) 4. Food breakdown: digestion Digestion occurs when enzymes chemically break down large molecules into their building blocks Each major food group uses different enzymes Carbohydrates are broken down to monosaccharides (simple sugars) Proteins are broken down to amino acids Fats are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol

Functions of the Digestive System © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Essential processes of the GI tract (continued) Absorption End products of digestion are absorbed in the blood or lymph Food must enter mucosal cells and then move into blood or lymph capillaries Defecation Elimination of indigestible substances from the GI tract in the form of feces

Activities Occurring in the Mouth, Pharynx, and Esophagus © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Food ingestion and breakdown Food is placed into the mouth Physically broken down by chewing Mixed with saliva, which is released in response to mechanical pressure and psychic stimuli Salivary amylase begins starch digestion Essentially, no food absorption occurs in the mouth

Activities Occurring in the Mouth, Pharynx, and Esophagus © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Food propulsion— swallowing and peristalsis Pharynx and esophagus have no digestive function Serve as passageways to the stomach Pharynx functions in swallowing (deglutition) Two phases of swallowing Buccal phase Pharyngeal- esophageal phase

Activities Occurring in the Mouth, Pharynx, and Esophagus © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Food propulsion— swallowing and peristalsis (continued) Buccal phase Voluntary Occurs in the mouth Food is formed into a bolus The bolus is forced into the pharynx by the tongue

Activities Occurring in the Mouth, Pharynx, and Esophagus © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Food propulsion— swallowing and peristalsis (continued) Pharyngeal- esophageal phase Involuntary transport of the bolus by peristalsis Nasal and respiratory passageways are blocked

Activities Occurring in the Mouth, Pharynx, and Esophagus © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Food propulsion— swallowing and peristalsis (continued) Pharyngeal- esophogeal phase (continued) Peristalsis moves the bolus toward the stomach The cardioesophageal sphincter is opened when food presses against it

Activities in the Stomach © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Food breakdown Gastric juice is regulated by neural and hormonal factors Presence of food or rising pH causes the release of the hormone gastrin Gastrin causes stomach glands to produce: Protein- digesting enzymes Mucus Hydrochloric acid

Activities in the Stomach © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Food breakdown (continued) Hydrochloric acid makes the stomach contents very acidic Acidic pH Activates pepsinogen to pepsin for protein digestion Provides a hostile environment for microorganisms

Activities in the Stomach © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Food breakdown (continued) Protein- digestion enzymes Pepsin — an active protein- digesting enzyme Rennin — works on digesting milk protein in infants; not produced in adults Alcohol and aspirin are virtually the only items absorbed in the stomach

Activities in the Stomach © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Food propulsion Peristalsis: waves of peristalsis occur from the fundus to the pylorus, forcing food past the pyloric sphincter Grinding: the pylorus meters out chyme into the small intestine (3 ml at a time) Retropulsion: peristaltic waves close the pyloric sphincter, forcing contents back into the stomach; the stomach empties in 4–6 hours

Figure 14.15 Peristaltic waves in the stomach. Pyloric valve closed Pyloric valve slightly opened Pyloric valve closed 1 Propulsion: Peristaltic waves move from the fundus toward the pylorus. 2 Grinding: The most vigorous peristalsis and mixing action occur close to the pylorus. The pyloric end of the stomach acts as a pump that delivers small amounts of chyme into the duodenum. 3 Retropulsion: The peristaltic wave closes the pyloric valve, forcing most of the contents of the pylorus backward into the stomach. © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.

Activities of the Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Chyme breakdown and absorption Intestinal enzymes from the brush border function to: Break double sugars into simple sugars Complete some protein digestion Intestinal enzymes and pancreatic enzymes help to complete digestion of all food groups

Activities of the Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Chyme breakdown and absorption (continued) Pancreatic enzymes play the major role in the digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates Alkaline content neutralizes acidic chyme and provides the proper environment for the pancreatic enzymes to operate

Activities of the Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Chyme breakdown and absorption (continued) Release of pancreatic juice from the pancreas into the duodenum is stimulated by: Vagus nerves Local hormones that travel via the blood to influence the release of pancreatic juice (and bile) Secretin Cholecystokinin (CCK)

Activities of the Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Chyme breakdown and absorption (continued) Hormones (secretin and CCK) also target the liver and gallbladder to release bile Bile Acts as a fat emulsifier Needed for fat absorption and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (K, D, E, and A)

Figure 14.16 Regulation of pancreatic juice and bile secretion and release. pancreas, CCK induces secretion of enzyme- rich pancreatic juice; secretin causes secretion of bicarbonate- rich pancreatic juice. Secretin causes the liver to secrete more bile; CCK stimulates the gallbladder to release stored bile and the hepatopancreatic sphincter to relax (allows bile from both sources to enter the duodenum). 1 Chyme entering duodenum causes duodenalent eroendocrine cells to release cholecystokinin (CCK) and secretin. 2 CCK (red dots) and secretin (blue dots) enter the bloodstream. 3 Upon reaching the 4 5 Stimulation by vagal nerve fibers causes release of pancreatic juice and weak contractions of the gallbladder. © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.

Activities of the Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Chyme breakdown and absorption (continued) A summary table of hormones is presented next

Activities of the Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Chyme breakdown and absorption (continued) Water is absorbed along the length of the small intestine End products of digestion Most substances are absorbed by active transport through cell membranes Lipids are absorbed by diffusion Substances are transported to the liver by the hepatic portal vein or lymph

Activities of the Small Intestine © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Chyme propulsion Peristalsis is the major means of moving food Segmental movements Mix chyme with digestive juices Aid in propelling food

Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Metabolism is all of the chemical reactions necessary to maintain life Catabolism — substances are broken down to simpler substances; energy is released and captured to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Anabolism — larger molecules are built from smaller ones

Carbohydrate Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred source to produce cellular energy (ATP) Glucose (blood sugar) Major breakdown product of carbohydrate digestion Fuel used to make ATP

Carbohydrate Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Cellular respiration As glucose is oxidized, carbon dioxide, water, and ATP are formed

Carbohydrate Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Events of three main metabolic pathways of cellular respiration Glycolysis Occurs in the cytosol Energizes a glucose molecule so it can be split into two pyruvic acid molecules and yield ATP

Carbohydrate Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Events of three main metabolic pathways of cellular respiration (continued) Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) Occurs in the mitochondrion Produces virtually all the carbon dioxide and water resulting from cellular respiration Yields a small amount of ATP

Carbohydrate Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Events of three main metabolic pathways of cellular respiration (continued) Electron transport chain Hydrogen atoms removed during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle are delivered to protein carriers Hydrogen atoms are split into hydrogen ions and electrons in the mitochondria Electrons give off energy in a series of steps to enable the production of ATP

Carbohydrate Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Hyperglycemia— excessively high levels of glucose in the blood Excess glucose is stored in body cells as glycogen or converted to fat Hypoglycemia— low levels of glucose in the blood Glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and fat breakdown occur to restore normal blood glucose levels

Fat Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Fats Insulate the body Protect organs Build some cell structures (membranes and myelin sheaths) Provide reserve energy Excess dietary fat is stored in subcutaneous tissue and other fat depots

Fat Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. When carbohydrates are in limited supply, more fats are oxidized to produce ATP Excessive fat breakdown causes blood to become acidic (acidosis or ketoacidosis) Breath has a fruity odor Common with: ―No carbohydrate‖ diets Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus Starvation

Protein Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Proteins form the bulk of cell structure and most functional molecules Proteins are carefully conserved by body cells Amino acids are actively taken up from blood by body cells

Protein Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Amino acids are oxidized to form ATP mainly when other fuel sources are not available Ammonia , released as amino acids are catabolized, is detoxified by liver cells that combine it with carbon dioxide to form urea .

The Central Role of the Liver in Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Liver is the body’s key metabolic organ Roles in digestion Manufactures bile Detoxifies drugs and alcohol Degrades hormones Produces cholesterol, blood proteins (albumin and clotting proteins) Plays a central role in metabolism Liver can regenerate if part of it is damaged or removed

The Central Role of the Liver in Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. To maintain homeostasis of blood glucose levels, the liver performs: Glycogenesis— ―glycogen formation‖ Glucose molecules are converted to glycogen and stored in the liver Glycogenolysis— ―glycogen splitting‖ Glucose is released from the liver after conversion from glycogen Gluconeogenesis— ―formation of new sugar‖ Glucose is produced from fats and proteins

The Central Role of the Liver in Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Fats and fatty acids are picked up by the liver Some are oxidized to provide energy for liver cells The rest are either stored or broken down into simpler compounds and released into the blood

The Central Role of the Liver in Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Blood proteins made by the liver are assembled from amino acids Albumin is the most abundant protein in blood Clotting proteins Liver cells detoxify ammonia Ammonia is combined with carbon dioxide to form urea, which is flushed from the body in urine

The Central Role of the Liver in Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Cholesterol metabolism and transport Cholesterol is not used to make ATP Functions of cholesterol: Structural basis of steroid hormones and vitamin D Building block of plasma membranes Most cholesterol (85%) is produced in the liver; only 15% is from the diet

The Central Role of the Liver in Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Cholesterol metabolism and transport (continued) Cholesterol and fatty acids cannot freely circulate in the bloodstream They are transported by lipoproteins (lipid- protein complexes) known as LDLs and HDLs

The Central Role of the Liver in Metabolism © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Cholesterol metabolism and transport (continued) Low- density lipoproteins (LDLs) transport cholesterol to body cells Rated ―bad lipoproteins‖ since they can lead to atherosclerosis High- density lipoproteins (HDLs) transport cholesterol from body cells to the liver Rated ―good lipoproteins‖ since cholesterol is destined for breakdown and elimination

Body Energy Balance © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Energy intake = Total energy output (heat + work + energy storage) Energy intake is the energy liberated during food oxidation Energy produced during glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain Energy output Energy we lose as heat (60%) Energy stored as fat or glycogen

Body Energy Balance © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Interference with the body’s energy balance leads to: Obesity Malnutrition (leading to body wasting)

Body Energy Balance © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Regulation of food intake Body weight is usually relatively stable Energy intake and output remain about equal Mechanisms that may regulate food intake Levels of nutrients in the blood Hormones Body temperature Psychological factors

Body Energy Balance © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Metabolic rate and body heat production Nutrients yield different amounts of energy Energy value is measured in kilocalories (kcal) Carbohydrates and proteins yield 4 kcal/gram Fats yield 9 kcal/gram

Body Energy Balance © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Basic metabolic rate (BMR)— amount of heat produced by the body per unit of time at rest Average BMR is about 60 to 72 kcal/hour for an average 70-kg (154-lb) adult

Body Energy Balance © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Factors that influence BMR Surface area— a small body usually has a higher BMR Gender— males tend to have higher BMRs Age— children and adolescents have higher BMRs The amount of thyroxine produced is the most important control factor More thyroxine means a higher metabolic rate

Table 14.3 Factors Determining the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.

Body Energy Balance © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Total metabolic rate (TMR)— total amount of kilocalories the body must consume to fuel ongoing activities TMR increases dramatically with an increase in muscle activity TMR must equal calories consumed to maintain homeostasis and maintain a constant weight

Body Energy Balance © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Body temperature regulation When foods are oxidized, more than 60% of energy escapes as heat, warming the body The body has a narrow range of homeostatic temperature Must remain between 35.6ºC and 37.8ºC (96ºF and 100ºF)

Body Energy Balance © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Body temperature regulation The body’s thermostat is in the hypothalamus Hypothalamus initiates mechanisms to maintain body temperature Heat loss mechanisms involve radiation of heat from skin and evaporation of sweat Heat- promoting mechanisms involve vasoconstriction of skin blood vessels and shivering

Body Energy Balance © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. Fever— controlled hyperthermia Results from infection, cancer, allergic reactions, CNS injuries If the body thermostat is set too high, body proteins may be denatured, and permanent brain damage may occur
