Digestive SystemDigestion- The process by which food
is broken down and processed by the body
Functions:1. Breaks down food; either physically
or chemically2. Processes food for use by the body3. Excretes waste products

Digestive SystemComponents:
1.) Mouth/Teeth- The 1st organs of the digestive tract.• The teeth are bones whose main purpose is to
grind food into bits that the body can digest (mechanical digestion)
• Saliva begins to break down food and moistens it for swallowing
• Bolus- Mixture of food and saliva that is formed in the mouth and swallowed

Digestive SystemComponents:
2.) Pharynx- back part of the throat just above the esophagus.• Food and air must cross paths as they pass
through the pharynx3.) Esophagus- Tube that pushes food from
the pharynx to the stomach.
Cardiac Sphincter- round muscle that closes off the esophagus where it connects to the stomach
![Page 9: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Digestive SystemComponents:
4.) Stomach- Secretes protein-digesting enzymes that aid in the chemical break-down of food.• The size of your fist when empty.• Lined with smooth muscle• Site of chemical digestion- breaking chemical
bonds between food molecules
Pyloric Sphincter- round muscle that closes off the stomach where it connects to the small intestine.

Digestive SystemComponents:
5.) Small Intestine-The organ in which most of digestion occurs. It is the place where carbohydrates are broken down and nutrients are absorbed. • Divided into three sections:
• Duodenum- most nutrients absorbed here• Jejunum• Ileum
Vili and microvili- folds in the wall of the small intestine that increase the area for absorption.
![Page 12: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Digestive SystemComponents:
6.) Large Intestine- Also called the colon. Removes water from the undigested food and compacts waste.• Divided into three sections:• Ascending Colon• Transverse Colon• Descending Colon
Appendix- vestigial structure attached to large intestine.
![Page 14: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Digestive SystemComponents:7.) Rectum- Stores waste until it is expelled from
the body.• Bordered by two sphincters, one you can control
and one you cannot.8.) Anus- Opening that waste exits the
body throughPeristalsis- the continual involuntary
contraction of smooth muscle along the digestive tract that pushes food through the system
![Page 16: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Digestive SystemAccessory Organs and Glands
1.) Liver- secretes bile through the bile duct which helps to process fats in the small intestine2.) Pancreas- secretes digestive juices including insulin, which controls sugar absorption3.) Gallbladder- secretes digestive juices4.) Salivary glands- secrete saliva and enzymes into the mouth
![Page 17: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Digestive SystemInteresting Facts:1. Intestines are at least 25 feet in an adult. 2. Chewing food takes from 5-30 seconds 3. Swallowing takes about 10 seconds 4. Food sloshing in the stomach can last 3-4 hours 5. It takes 3 hours for food to move through the small
intestine 6. Food drying up and hanging out in the large intestine
can last 18 hours to 2 days! 7. In your lifetime, your digestive system may handle
about 50 tons of food matter.

carbon dioxide, nutrients, and wastes throughout the body.
![Page 21: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Circulatory SystemMajor Components:
1. Heart- Muscular organ which pumps blood throughout blood vessels through repeated contractions.
2. Arteries-Carry blood away from the heart3. Veins- Carry blood towards the heart4. Capillaries- Smallest blood vessels located
between arteries and veins. Where the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, wastes and nutrients between blood and the surrounding tissue takes place.
![Page 22: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Circulatory SystemMajor Components:
5. Blood- A mixture of RBC’s, WBC’s, and plasma that carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, wastes, and nutrients throughout the body
6. Red Blood Cells- Contains hemoglobin, carries oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body
7. White Blood Cells- Protects the body again foreign pathogens (bacteria/viruses)
8. Plasma- The fluid component of blood
![Page 23: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Circulatory SystemInteresting Facts:
1. The body of an adult contains over 60,000 miles of blood vessels!
2. An adult's heart pumps nearly 4000 gallons of blood each day!
3. Your heart beats some 30 million times a year!
4. The average three-year-old has two pints of blood in their body; the average adult at least five times more!
5. A "heartbeat" is really the sound of the valves in the heart closing as they push blood through its chambers.

blood with oxygen so that it may deliver oxygen to all parts of the body.
![Page 26: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Respiratory SystemMajor components:
1. Nose- The location which admits and expels air for respiration
2. Trachea- The windpipe tube that connects the lungs to the pharynx
3. Lungs- Transports O2 from the atmosphere into the blood and CO2 from the blood into the atmosphere.
![Page 27: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Respiratory SystemMajor Components:
4. Alveoli- Specialized cells found within the lungs where gas exchange takes place. (O2 is added to blood, CO2 is removed from blood)
5. Diaphragm- A thin muscle which when contracted allows air to enter the body; and when relaxed expels (releases) air out of the body.
![Page 28: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Respiratory SystemInteresting Facts:1. Your lungs contain almost 1500 miles of
airways and over 300 million alveoli. 2. Every minute you breathe in 13 pints of
air. 3. Plants are our partners in breathing. We
breathe in air, use the O2 in it, and release CO2. Plants do the opposite.
4. People get more colds in the winter because they are indoors more often and in close proximity to other people. When people sneeze, cough and even breathe -- germs go flying!

Nervous SystemFunction:1.) Gathers and interprets information
and responds to that information
![Page 39: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Nervous SystemMajor Components:1.) Brain- The brain controls how our
bodies work.– The brain makes sure our hearts keep
beating and our lungs keep working without us having to think about it.
– It makes our muscles work.– It also allows us to think, see, hear, feel
and taste.
![Page 40: Human Body Systems](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/5681620e550346895dd239e4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Nervous SystemMajor Components:2.) Spinal Cord- The spinal cord joins
the brain at the top of our neck. Its main function is to serve as a pathway for the messages from the nerves to travel to the brain and back so we know what we are seeing, touching, hearing, and tasting, and if something hurts or feels.
