Functions of the Digestive System
1. Digestion (mechanical & chemical)
2. Motility
3. Secretion
4. Absorption
5. Excretion
The Gastrointestinal Tract (~20 ft tube)
The Gastrointestinal Tract + Accessory structures

Stomach
• J-shaped organ
• Storage
• Digestion
• Production of chyme
Gastric Glands
Accessory Structures Pancreas
In addition to regulation of blood glucose,
the pancreas also has a role in digestion through the secretion of 4 classes of
digestive enzymes:
1. amylase
2. proteolytic
3. lipase
4. nucleases

Liver & Gall bladder
Liver produces bile
Gall bladder stores
bile
Bile – mixture of
ions, cholesterol,
bile pigments, bile
salts, and water
Fat emulsification
• Bile salts become incorporated into fat
droplets, and in combination with intestinal motility break down the fat droplet into
smaller droplets.
Gall Stones
