FOOD
- any substance which when absorbed into your body tissues, yields materials for the production of energy
![Page 3: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
DIGESTION -the process of reducing food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed into the body
![Page 4: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Types of Digestion
Mechanical Phase- process which food is acted
upon physically or mechanically
- means grinding, cutting and mashing large bits of food into fine mixture
![Page 5: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Types of Digestion
Chemical Phase- it needs actions of
digestive enzymes into more soluble form
![Page 6: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Your digestive tracts or food tube consist of the following: (1) mouth (2) esophagus (3) stomach (4) small intestine (5) large intestine (6) anus
The accessory organs are (1) salivary glands (2) pancreas (3) liver (4) gallbladder

Digestion from the Mouth
![Page 8: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Digestion from the Mouth Saliva – lubricates the food and
secretes an enzyme, ptyalin or salivary amylase, that convert starch to maltose
3 Salivary GlandsParotid glandsSubmaxillary glandsSublingual glands
![Page 9: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Digestion from the Mouth
Tongue – pushes the food to the back of your mouth
Bolus – a soft, mass of rounded ball of food that is being chewed
![Page 10: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Digestion in the Esophagus
Pharynx – an alimentary canal where food goes down after the digestion in the mouth
Epiglottis- a flap of tissue that closes over the trachea to prevent the food from entering
![Page 11: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Digestion in the Esophagus
Esophagus – carries the food down the stomach
![Page 12: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Peristalsis – a rhythmic, wavelike
muscular action that pushes the food downward
![Page 13: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Digestion in the Stomach
Stomach – a large J-shape organ found at the end of the esophagus
- contraction of the muscles of the stomach causes the churning, squeezing and twisting effect
- it where partial digestion of food happens
![Page 14: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Digestion in the Stomach
Cardiac spincter – closes and opens to allow the flow of food from the esophagus to the stomach
Pepsin – enzymes secreted in the stomach that breaks down the protein
![Page 16: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Digestion in the Stomach
Pyloric valve or spincter – opens and closes to allow the food getting in the small intestine
Chyme – partial product retained in the stomach before transferring into the small intestine
![Page 17: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Digestion in the Small Intestine
3 Major Parts1. duodenum – upper 20 cm
2. jejunum – 2.5 meters long
3. ileum – longest half coiled into the abdominal cavity
![Page 18: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Digestion in the Small Intestine
It is where the final digestion and absorption of food take place
![Page 19: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Digestion in the Small Intestine
Villi – small fingerlike projection in the lining of the small intestine that is used in absorption
Maltase – enzymes that break down maltose into glucose
![Page 20: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
PANCREAS
![Page 21: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pancreas – a digestive gland that serves 2 functions:
1. secrete hormones that regulate blood glucose
2. and secretes pancreatic juice that nutralizes the acid in the stomach
![Page 22: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

LIVER AND BILE
The liver is the largest gland in your body that carries the gall bladder
Gall bladder – Produces a blue green fluid called bile
![Page 24: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

LARGE INTESTINE
Undigested food goes down into the large intestine
It is where the absorption of water is happen
It is also called as colon
FECES – remaining food material
![Page 27: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

RECTUM AND ANUS
Rectum – 20 to 30 cm
- a muscular cavity where feces is temporarily stored
Anus – end of the alimentary canal
![Page 29: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How can we take care of our digestive system?
![Page 30: The digestive system](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fcf30af79591b498b47f3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
