Digestion
Food components must be broken
down into their building blocks before
they can be absorbed
Chemical and mechanical digestion
helps this process

Digestion
Some single cell organisms such as
mould secrete digestive enzymes on
to food outside the organisms
(Saprotrophic)

You are a tube inside a tube…
The tube starts
here:
And although
there are a few
twists and turns
along the way…
It comes out here:
Anything that goes
in the top hole
(mouth) does not
become part of the
body until it is
absorbed (taken in)
in a part called the
small intestine.
This tube is
called the GUT.

A closer look at absorption…
Food is absorbed (taken in) to the body in the small
intestine. The wall of the small intestine has small holes in
it. Only small particles can pass through it:
starch

GUT INSIDE THE
BODY (BLOOD) Large particles
(e.g. starch) are
left in the gut and
small particles
(e.g. glucose) go
through into the
blood. G

BUT large particles can be broken down into small particles. This is called DIGESTION

What is the gut?
The gut is a coiled tube where food is
broken down (digested) and absorbed
into the body.
Any waste food is passed out of the
body through the anus.
The digestive system is really
one long tube with an opening
at each end.
Stretched out it is a 9m tube!

Teeth
Teeth are needed to tear, rip and
chew food to physically break it into
smaller pieces.
This is mechanical digestion

These glands (a special type of tissue) produce
saliva, a sticky liquid.
As mentioned, the saliva has two jobs.
Being a liquid, it softens the food and allows the digested food to be rolled into
a ball just before it is swallowed.
It also contains a chemical known as an enzyme.
biological catalysts.

Digestive Enzymes
There are 3 main types of digestive
enzymes:
Amylase breaks starch down into
glucose.
Protease breaks protein down into
amino acids.
Lipase breaks fats down into fatty
acids and glycerol

What factors affect the rate
of reaction of enzymes
How do you think you can speed up the rate of an enzymatic reaction? (Hint: It’s the same as any other reaction!)
Temperature
pH
Concentration
Inhibitors
![Page 17: Digestion - AMAZING WORLD OF SCIENCE WITH MR. GREENPeristalsis is a wavelike motion of the oesophagus. A ring of circular muscles contraction behind the bolus while the muscles ahead](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070707/5ea641ffa0779206f824b647/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Enzymes
Enzymes catalyse all chemical
reactions of the body.
This is referred to as metabolism
![Page 18: Digestion - AMAZING WORLD OF SCIENCE WITH MR. GREENPeristalsis is a wavelike motion of the oesophagus. A ring of circular muscles contraction behind the bolus while the muscles ahead](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070707/5ea641ffa0779206f824b647/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Enzymes
Metabolism includes
Anabolism
• Building up complex molecules
• Photosynthesis
Catabolism
• Breaking down complex molecules
• Respiration

Enzymes and temperature
Enzymes work best at 37˚C
![Page 20: Digestion - AMAZING WORLD OF SCIENCE WITH MR. GREENPeristalsis is a wavelike motion of the oesophagus. A ring of circular muscles contraction behind the bolus while the muscles ahead](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070707/5ea641ffa0779206f824b647/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Enzymes and pH
Enzymes work best at one pH. This
pH is different for each different
enzyme.
If the pH goes too low (more acidic) or
too high (more alkaline), the enzyme
will not work as effectively.
However, changes to pH will NOT
denature enzymes.

Enzymes in Industry

favourite shirt
has a blood
stain on it…
The protease enzymes
in biological washing
powders, break down
the Haemoglobin
It is stained
because blood
contains the red

Haemoglobin
These smaller

Enzymes in Industry
Enzymes are also used in many other processes in industry e.g.
Pectinase to extract juice from fruit
Protease to break down the proteins in baby food to make it easier for the baby to digest
Cellulases to soften vegetables
Amylases to make syrup from starch
Research one of these uses for homework

Swallowing and Peristalsis
During vomiting the propulsion of food
comes from contractions of the
abdominal muscles
Peristalsis does not reverse in the
oesophagus
![Page 31: Digestion - AMAZING WORLD OF SCIENCE WITH MR. GREENPeristalsis is a wavelike motion of the oesophagus.

These enzymes begin digesting the proteins in the swallowed food.
These proteins are broken down to release the amino acids.

Secondly, the hydrochloric acid provides the perfect conditions for
protease enzyme.
Protease enzymes work best under acidic conditions (pH < 7).

Thirdly, the muscular tissue of the stomach has the ability to contract and
relax and in doing so, physically grinds the food inside it.
Mucus is produced to protect the lining of the stomach from the acid. If the
mucus were not present, the hydrochloric acid would actually digest the
tissue that had made it!

The first part of
the small intestine
is called the
duodenum.

The food is now a semi liquid, highly
acidic mush.
It needs to be neutralised and
digestion needs to be continued…

The bile and the fat meet within the small intestine.
The bile emulsifies the fat. This basically means the fat is physically broken
into smaller pieces.
emulsification by bile
Notice that the fat has not been chemically digested, only physically. The
result is a greater surface area over which the enzyme, lipase, can
attack the fat.

The small intestine produces 3
enzymes to complete digestion:
Amylase breaks starch down into

Absorption
The digested food begins to be
ABSORBED in the ileum
![Page 57: Digestion - AMAZING WORLD OF SCIENCE WITH MR. GREENPeristalsis is a wavelike motion of the oesophagus.

Absorption
The digested food is ABSORBED
through the wall of the small intestine
into the blood stream.
To do this effectively, the small
intestine needs to have a large
surface area.
![Page 58: Digestion - AMAZING WORLD OF SCIENCE WITH MR. GREENPeristalsis is a wavelike motion of the oesophagus.

The tube is over 6 meters long
The inner wall of the tube has bends in it
The wall is covered in villi (small finger like
structures)

Absorption 2: Villi
Absorption takes place
through villi.
These are small finger
like structures that
stick out into the small
intestine tube.
They help to increase
the surface area of the
small intestine.

Absorption 2: Villi
The digested food
passes through the wall
of the villi (epithelium).
Why does the epithelium have
to be thin?
The glucose and amino
acids pass into the blood
capillary. From here they
go to the liver

Absorption 2: Villi
The fatty acids and glycerol go
into one of these lymphatic
vessels in the villus.

By the time the
contents leave the
ileum all nutrients,
vitamins, minerals

been absorbed

Egestion
Any indigestible food (e.g. fibre) passes into the large intestine (colon).
Water is absorbed back into the body.
Where has this water come from?
The food becomes a solid waste called faeces.
Faeces are stored in the rectum and removed through the anus. This removal is called EGESTION.

Applications to health
Peptic ulcer- craterlike lesion caused by exposure to gastric juices.
Vomiting- forcible expulsion of the contents of the upper GI tract (stomach and duodenum).
Peritonitis- acute inflammation of the peritoneum.
Hepatitis- inflammation of the liver caused by viruses, drugs, or chemicals.
Gallstones- crystallization of cholesterol due to insufficient bile salts.
Appendicitis- inflammation of the appendix caused by an obstruction of the lumen.

We have now finished our journey through the digestive system. We have
seen the chemical and physical digestion of large & insoluble into small &
soluble food.
It is important to remember that the digestive system relies heavily on the
presence of two important types of body tissue.
Through constant contraction
and relaxation, the food is kept
moving through the system,
from the mouth to the anus.
2. Muscular tissue
This is responsible for the
production of the digestive
enzymes.
1. Glandular tissue
