Digestive SystemAKA gastrointestinal system or GI
systemFunction=responsible for the
physical & chemical breakdown of food so it can be taken into bloodstream & be used by body cells & tissues
Structures=divided into alimentary canal & accessory organs

Alimentary Canal
Long muscular tubeIncludes:
1. Mouth
2. Pharynx
3. Esophagus
4. Stomach
5. Small intestine
6. Large intestine

1. Mouth
Mouth=buccal cavityWhere food enters body, is tasted,
broken down physically by teeth, lubricated & partially digested by saliva, & swallowed
Teeth=structures that physically break down food by chewing & grinding in a process called mastication
![Page 7: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1. Mouth
Tongue=muscular organ, contains taste buds which allow for sweet, salty, sour, & bitter sensations
Tongue also aids in chewing & swallowing
![Page 8: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. Mouth
Hard palate=bony structure, forms roof of mouth, separates mouth from nasal cavities
Soft palate=behind hard palate; separates mouth from nasopharynx
Uvula=cone-shaped muscular structure, hangs from middle of soft palate; prevents food from entering nasopharynx during swallowing
![Page 9: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

1. Mouth
Salivary glands=3 pairs (parotid, sublingual, & submandibular); produce saliva
Saliva=liquid that lubricates mouth during speech & chewing, moistens food so it can be swallowed
Salivary amylase=saliva enzyme (substance that speeds up a chemical reaction) starts the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates (starches) into sugar
![Page 11: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

2. Pharynx
Bolus=chewed food mixed with salivaPharynx=throat; tube that carries air &
foodAir goes to trachea; food goes to
esophagusWhen bolus is swallowed, epiglottis
covers larynx which stops bolus from entering respiratory tract and makes it go into esophagus
![Page 13: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

3. Esophagus
Esophagus=muscular tube dorsal to trachea
Receives bolus from pharynx & carries it to stomach
Uses peristalsis (rhythmic, wavelike, involuntary muscular movement) to move food in a forward direction
![Page 15: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

4. Stomach
Enlarged part of alimentary canalReceives food from esophagusRugae=folds of the mucous
membrane lining of the stomachRugae flatten out and disappear as
stomach fills with food & expands
![Page 18: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

4. Stomach
Cardiac Sphincter-circular muscle between esophagus & stomach; closes after food enters stomach to prevent food from going back up into esophagus
Pyloric Sphincter-between stomach and sm intestine, keeps food in stomach until food is ready to enter sm intestine
![Page 20: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
4. Stomach
Food stays in stomach 2-4 hrsWhile in the stomach, gastric juices
convert food into a semifluid=chymeGastric juices are made by glands in
the stomach and contain hydrochloric acid and enzymes
![Page 22: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

4. Stomach
Hydrochloric acid-kills bacteria, helps iron absorption, & activates the enzyme pepsin
Gastric juice enzymes include lipase and pepsin
Lipase-starts the chemical breakdown of fats
Pepsin-starts protein digestion
![Page 24: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
5. Small Intestine
Small intestine=coiled section of alimentary canal, about 20 ft. long and 1” in diameter
Chyme leaves stomach and enters sm intestine
Sm intestine is divided into 3 sections: duodenum, jejunum, ileum
![Page 25: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
5. Small Intestine
Sm intestine produces intestinal juices that break down food
Digestion is completed in sm intestineProducts of digestion are absorbed into
bloodstream for use by body cellsWalls of sm intestine are lined with villiVilli=fingerlike projections containing
capillaries & lacteals
![Page 27: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

5. Small Intestine
Capillaries absorb the digested nutrients & carry them to the liver
Lacteals absorb digested fats and carry them to the thoracic duct
When food has completed its way through the sm intestine, only wastes, indigestible materials, & excess water is left
![Page 29: Digestive System A&P Created by Ashley Berryhill](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bfe91a28abf838cb6c5f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
5. Sm Intestine-Intestinal Juices
Maltase, sucrase, lactase=enzymes that break down sugars into simpler forms
Peptidases=enzymes that complete the digestion of proteins
Steapsin (lipase)=enzyme that aids in the digestion of fat

6. Large Intestine
Functions:
1) Absorb water & any remaining nutrients
2) Store indigestible materials before they are eliminated from the body
3) Synthesis (formation) & absorption some B vitamins & vitamin K
4) Transport waste out of the alimentary canal

1. Liver
Stores sugar in the form of glycogen Glycogen is converted to glucose &
released into blood when additional sugar is needed
Stores iron & vitaminsProduces heparin (prevents clotting of
blood)

Produces blood proteins fibrinogen & prothrombin (aid in clotting)
Produces cholesterolDetoxifies (renders harmless)
substances like alcohol & pesticidesDestroys bacteria have been taken
into the blood from the intestine

2. Gallbladder
Small, muscular sac located under the liver
Attached to liver by connective tissueReceives, stores, & concentrates
bile from liverWhen bile is needed, gallbladder
contracts & pushes bile through the cystic duct into the common duct which drains into the duodenum

1. Amylase (Amylopsin)=breaks down sugars
2. Trypsin & Chymotrypsin=breaks down proteins
3. Lipase (Steapsin)=breaks down fatsPancreas also produces insulin which is
secreted into the bloodstreamInsulin regulates the metabolism (burning) of
carbohydrates to convert glucose (blood sugar) to energy
