1. Digestive Digestive
SystemSystem

2. Digestion
•Phases Include
1.Ingestion
2.Movement
3.Mechanical and Chemical Digestion
4.Absorption
5.Elimination

3. Digestion
•Types
–Mechanical (physical)
•Chew
•Tear
•Grind
•Mash
•Mix
–Chemical
•Enzymatic reactions to improve digestion of
–Carbohydrates
–Proteins
–Lipids

5. Mouth
•Teeth mechanically
break down food into
small pieces. Tongue
mixes food with saliva
(contains amylase,
which helps break down
starch).
•Epiglottis is a flap-like
structure at the back of
the throat that closes
over the trachea
preventing food from
entering it. It is located
in the Pharynx.

6. Esophagus
•Approximately 20 cm 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.

7. Stomach
7
•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 LipidsProteins and Lipids.
•Acid (HCl) in the stomach Kills Bacteria.
•Food found in the stomach is called Chyme.

8. Small Intestine
•Small intestines are roughly 7 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.

9. Small Intestine
•Nutrients from the food pass into the
bloodstream through the small
intestine walls.
•Absorbs:
–80% ingested water
–Vitamins
–Minerals
–Carbohydrates
–Proteins
–Lipids
•Secretes digestive enzymes

10. Large Intestine
•About 1.5 meters long
•Accepts what small intestines don’t
absorb
•Rectum (short term storage which
holds feces before it is expelled).

11. Large Intestine
•Functions
–Bacterial digestion
•Ferment carbohydrates
– Absorbs more water
– Concentrate wastes

12. Accessory Organs The Glands
•Not part of the path
of food, but play a
critical role.
•Include: Liver, gall
bladder, and
pancreas

13. Liver
•Directly affects digestion by producing
bile
–Bile helps digest fat
•filters out toxins and waste including
drugs and alcohol and poisons.

14. Gall Bladder
•Stores bile from the
liver, releases it into the
small intestine.
•Fatty diets can cause
gallstones

15. Pancreas
•Produces digestive
enzymes to digest fats,
carbohydrates and
proteins
•Regulates blood sugar
by producing insulin

each colored organ:
