Small Intestine Breakdown
•Duodenum - fixed portion of the small intestine, first portion following the stomach; 25 cm long •Jejunum - next portion, making up 2/5 of the small intestine •Ileum - the remainder of the small intestine•Mesentery - double-layered fold of peritoneal membrane; suspends intestines from the posterior abdominal wall•Intestinal villi - tiny projections of mucous membrane, greatly increasing the surface area of the lining, aiding absorption; numerous in the duodenum
![Page 13: Opening Activity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568165bc550346895dd8bb1d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Function: Large Intestine
AKA Colon; Absorbs water and electrolytes to form feces (indigestible materials in preparation
for elimination)
![Page 14: Opening Activity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568165bc550346895dd8bb1d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Structure of Alimentary Canal•Consists of 4 distinct layers; mucosa, submucosa, muscular layer, and serosa
1. Mucosa:• Formed by surface epithelium, underlying
connective tissue, and a small amount of smooth muscle
• In certain regions, the mucosa is folded with tiny projections that extend into the passageway (lumen)
• Lumen increases absorptive surface area• Mucosa protects the tissues underneath it
and carries on secretion and absorption• Has glands that are tubular invaginations
into which the lining of the cells secrete mucus and digestive enzymes
![Page 20: Opening Activity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568165bc550346895dd8bb1d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2. Submucosa•Consists of loose connective tissue, glands, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and plexus•Plexus – nerves organized into a network • Its vessels nourish surrounding tissues and carry away absorbed materials
![Page 21: Opening Activity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568165bc550346895dd8bb1d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. Muscular Layer•Produces movement of the tube•Consists of 2 layers of smooth muscle tissue + some nerves organized into a plexus•Circular fibers – fibers of the inner layer that encircle the tube•Contraction of circular fibers result in a decrease in diameter of the tube• Fiber of the outer muscular coat run lengthwise•When these longitudinal fibers contract, the tube shortens
![Page 22: Opening Activity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568165bc550346895dd8bb1d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. Serosa•AKA serous layer•Visceral peritoneum has a serous layer, or outer covering, of the tube•The cells of the serosa protect underlying tissues•Also secretes serous fluid which moistens and lubricates the tube’s outer surface so that organs within the abdominal cavity slide freely against one another
![Page 23: Opening Activity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568165bc550346895dd8bb1d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Movements of the TubeTwo motor functions:
1. Mixing movements• occurs when smooth muscles in small segments of the tube contract rhythmically• ex: muscular contractions to mix food with digestive juices
2. Propelling movements• includes peristalsis (wavelike motion)• ring of contraction appears in the wall of the tube• pushes tubular contents ahead of it (think of it as a propeller)
![Page 24: Opening Activity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568165bc550346895dd8bb1d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Digestive Enzymes• Digestion enzymes are enzymes
that break down polymeric macromolecules into their smaller building blocks, in order to facilitate their absorption by the body• Aid in the digestion of food
![Page 25: Opening Activity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568165bc550346895dd8bb1d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Digestive Enzymes cont.Where are they found?
• Stomach secreted by cells lining the stomach
• Pancreatic juice secreted by pancreatic exocrine cells
• Saliva secreted by the salivary glands
• Small and large intestinal secretions

Lipid Digestion To Cells• Oxidizes fatty acids• Synthesizes lipoproteins, phospholipids, and cholesterol• Converts portions of carbohydrate and protein molecules into fats
![Page 31: Opening Activity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568165bc550346895dd8bb1d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Diseases of the System:
• Hiatal hernia:o portion of the stomach protrudes through a weakened area of the
diaphragm o results: gastric juices regurgitate into the esophagus, causing
heartburn, difficulty in swallowing, or ulceration, and blood loss • Ulcers:
o open sore in the skin or mucous membrane resulting from localized tissue breakdown
o caused by the bacteria, helicobacter pylori o cures: acid reducing drugs and antibiotics
• Tonsillitis:o infected tonsils tend to swello may swell to the point where they block the passageways of the
pharynx and interfere with breathing and swallowingo may have to get them removed if patient is non responsive to
antibiotics

Diseases of the System:
• Jaundice:o turns the skin and whites of the eyes yellowo reflects buildup of bile pigmentso obstructive jaundice: bile ducts are blockedo hepatocellular jaundice: liver is diseasedo hemolytic jaundice – red blood cells are destroyed toorapidly
• Cystic fibrosis: o abnormal chloride channels in cells in various tissues draw
water inward from interstitial spaceso dies out secretions in the lungs and pancreas, leaving a sticky
mucus behind
• Acute pancreatis: o extremely painful conditiono results from a blockage in the release of pancreatic juiceso Alcoholism, gallstones, certain infections, traumatic injuries, or
the side effects of some drugs can cause pancreatis

Nutrition• Adequate diets provide sufficient energy, essential
fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals• Food pyramid: carbs, fruits, vegetables, protein,
dairy, fats/oils/sweets
![Page 34: Opening Activity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062302/568165bc550346895dd8bb1d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Nutrition•Individual requirements vary based on age, sex, growth rate, levels of stress, etc...•Malnutrition – lacking essential nutrientsEx: anorexia, bulimia •Normally active people (3x per week) would need more calories than a person who doesn’t exercise at all•Your body needs to replace burned calories by obtaining more nutrients and carbs
