Chapter 4

The Gastrointestinal Tract
• Organization– Mouth anus– Accessory
organs• Salivary
glands, liver, pancreas, gallbladder
![Page 3: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Organization of theGastrointestinal Tract
• Functions– Ingestion– Transport– Secretion– Absorption– Movement– Elimination
![Page 4: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Organization of the Gastrointestinal Tract
• Layers– Mucosa– Circular muscle– Longitudinal
muscle– Spincter
![Page 5: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Overview of Digestion
• Physical movement– Peristalsis– Segmentation
• Chemical breakdown– Enzymes– Other secretions
• Acid• Base• Bile• Mucus
![Page 6: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Overview of Absorption
• The road to nutrition absorption– Passive diffusion– Facilitated diffusion– Active transport
![Page 7: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Assisting Organs• Salivary glands
– Moisten food– Supply enzymes
• Liver– Produces bile– “Chemical factory”
• Gallbladder– Stores and secretes bile
• Pancreas– Secretes bicarbonate– Secretes enzymes
![Page 8: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Putting It All Together: Digestion and Absorption
• Mouth– Enzymes
• Salivary amylase acts on starch• Lingual lipase acts on fat
– Saliva• Moistens food for swallowing
• Esophagus– Transports food to stomach– Esophageal sphincter
![Page 9: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Putting It All Together: Digestion and Absorption
• Stomach– Hydrochloric acid prepares protein for
digestion and activates enzymes– Pepsin begins protein digestion– Gastric lipase has some fat digestion– Gastrin (hormone) stimulates gastric secretion
and movement– Intrinsic factor is needed for absorption of
vitamin B12
![Page 10: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Putting It All Together: Digestion and Absorption
• Small intestine– Sections of small intestine
• Duodenum, jejunum, ileum
– Digestion• Bicarbonate neutralizes
stomach acid• Pancreatic and intestinal
enzymes– Carbohydrates– Fat– Protein
![Page 11: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Putting It All Together: Digestion and Absorption
• Small intestine– Absorption
• Folds, villi, and microvilli expand absorptive surface
• Most nutrients absorbed here
• Fat-soluble nutrients go into lymph
• Other nutrients go into blood
![Page 12: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Putting It All Together: Digestion and Absorption
• Large intestine– Digestion
• Nutrient digestion already complete
• Some digestion of fiber by bacteria
– Absorption• Water• Sodium, potassium, chloride• Vitamin K (produced by bacteria)
– Elimination
![Page 13: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Circulation of Nutrients
• Vascular system– Veins and arteries– Carries oxygen and
nutrients to tissues– Removes wastes
• Lymphatic system– Vessels that drain
lymph
![Page 14: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Circulation of Nutrients
• Excretion and elimination– Lungs
• Excrete water and carbon dioxide– Kidneys filter blood
• Excrete waste; maintain water and ion balance
![Page 15: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Signaling Systems: Command, Control, Defense
• Nervous system– Regulates GI activity
• Enteric nervous system• Autonomic nervous system
• Hormonal system– Increases or decreases GI activity
![Page 16: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Signaling Systems: Command, Control, Defense
• Immune system– Protects us from foreign invaders– Role of GI tract
• Barrier• Immune response
– Natural killer cells– Macrophages
• Location of lymphoid tissues–Lymphocytes
• Antibodies
![Page 17: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Influences on Digestion and Absorption
• Psychological influences– Taste, smell, and presentation of food
• Chemical influences– Type of protein you eat and the way it is
prepared
• Bacterial influences– Hydrochloric acid
![Page 18: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nutrition and GI Disorders
• Constipation– Hard, dry, infrequent stools– Reduced by high fiber, fluid intake, exercise
• Diarrhea– Loose, watery, frequent stools– Symptom of diseases/infections– Can cause dehydration– Broth, tea, toast, and other low-fiber foods can
help reduce
![Page 19: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Nutrition and GI Disorders
• Diverticulosis– Pouches along colon– High-fiber diet reduces
formation
• Heartburn and GERD– Reduced by smaller meals,
less fat
![Page 20: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Nutrition and GI Disorders
• Irritable bowel syndrome– Stress and certain foods aggravate the
symptoms– Controlled by diet and lifestyle
modifications• Reduce stress
![Page 21: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Nutrition and GI Disorders
• Colorectal cancer– Fiber-rich diet may reduce risk
• Gas– Most foods that contain
carbohydrates can cause
• Ulcers– Bacterial cause (H. Pylori)
![Page 22: The Human Body: From Food to Fuel Chapter 4](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081800/56813c0f550346895da58348/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Nutrition and GI Disorders
