Digestive system unit 2
Introduction
 The digestive system is
used for breaking down
food into nutrients
which then pass into the
circulatory system and
are taken to where they
are needed in the body.
Digestion
 Phases Include
1. Ingestion
2. Movement
3. Mechanical and Chemical Digestion
4. Absorption
5. Elimination
Digestion
 Types
 Mechanical (physical)
 Chew
 Tear
 Grind
 Mash
 Mix
 Chemical
 Enzymatic reactions to improve digestion of
 Carbohydrates
 Proteins
 Lipids
Digestive System Organization
 Gastrointestinal (Gl) tract
 Tube within a tube
 Direct link/path between organs
 Structures
 Mouth
 Pharynx
 Esophagus
 Stomach
 Small intestine
 Large Intestine
 Rectum

Introduction
 There are four stages to
food processing:
1. Ingestion: taking in food
2. Digestion: breaking
down food into nutrients
3. Absorption: taking in
nutrients by cells
4. Egestion: removing any
leftover wastes
The Human Digestive System
 Begins when food enters
the mouth.
 It is physically broken
down by the teeth.
 It is begun to be
chemically broken down
by amylase, an enzyme
in saliva that breaks
down carbohydrates.
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.
The Human Digestive System
 The tongue moves the
food around until it
forms a ball called a
bolus.
 The bolus is passed to
the pharynx (throat) and
the epiglottis makes sure
the bolus passes into the
esophagus and not down
the windpipe!
The Human Digestive System
 The bolus passes down
the esophagus by
peristalsis.
 Peristalsis is a wave of
muscular contractions
that push the bolus
down towards the
stomach.
Esophagus
 Approximately 20 cm long.
 Functions include:
1. Secrete mucus
 If acid from the stomach gets in
here that’s heartburn.
Stomach
12
• 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 (HCl) in the stomach Kills Bacteria.
• Food found in the stomach is called Chyme.
The Human Digestive System
 The stomach has folds
and is a big muscular
pouch which churns the
bolus (Physical
Digestion) and mixes it
with gastric juice, a
mixture of stomach acid,
mucus and enzymes.
The Human Digestive System
 The acid kills off any
invading bacteria or
viruses.
 The enzymes help break
down proteins and
lipids. Chemical
Digestion.
 The mucus protects the
lining of the stomach
from being eaten away
by the acid.
The Human Digestive System
 The stomach does do
some absorption too.
 Some medicines (i.e.
aspirin), water and
alcohol are all absorbed
through the stomach.
 The digested bolus is
now called chyme and it
leaves the stomach by
passing through the
pyloric sphincter.
The Human Digestive System
 Chyme is now in the
small intestine.
 The majority of
absorption occurs here.
 The liver and pancreas
help the small intestine
to maximize absorption.
 The small intestine is
broken down into three
parts:
The Human Digestive System
1. Duodenum
 Bile, produced in the
liver but stored in the
gall bladder, enters
through the bile duct.
It breaks down fats.
 The pancreas secretes
pancreatic juice to
reduce the acidity of
the chyme.
Liver
 Directly affects digestion by
producing bile
 Bile helps digest fat
• filters out toxins and waste including
drugs and alcohol and poisons.
18
Small Intestine
 Small intestines are roughly 7 meters
long
 Lining of intestine walls has finger-like
projections called villi, to increase
surface area.
19
Crash Course Review
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
20
The Human Digestive System
2. Jejunum
 The jejunum is where
the majority of
absorption takes place.
 It has tiny fingerlike
projections called villi
lining it, which
increase the surface
area for absorbing
nutrients.
The Human Digestive System
 Each villi itself has tiny fingerlike projections called
microvilli, which further increase the surface area for
absorption.
The Human Digestive System
3. Ileum
 The last portion of the
small intestine is the
ileum, which has fewer
villi and basically
compacts the leftovers
to pass through the
caecum into the large
intestine.
The Human Digestive System
 All leftover waste is
compacted and stored at
the end of the large
intestine called the
rectum.
 When full, the anal
sphincter loosens and
the waste, called feces,
passes out of the body
through the anus.
Digestion and Homeostasis
 A large meal activates
receptors that churn the
stomach and empty it
faster.
 If the meal was high in
fat, digestion is slowed,
allowing time for the fat
to be broken down.
 Hence why we feel fuller
after eating a high fat
meal.
On a sheet of paper, write the
name of each colored organ:
 Green:
 Red:
 Pink:
 Brown:
 Purple:
 Green:
 Yellow:
How’d you do?
 Green: Esophagus
 Red: Stomach
 Pink: Small Intestine
 Brown: Large Intestine
 Purple: Liver
 Green: Gall Bladder
 Yellow: Pancreas
Great Job!
