Digestive
System
Digestion
 Phases Include
1. Ingestion
2. Movement
3. Mechanical and Chemical Digestion
4. Absorption
5. Elimination
Digestion
 Types
 Mechanical (physical)
 Chew
 Tear
 Grind
 Mash
 Mix
 Chemical
 Enzymatic reactions to improve digestion of
 Carbohydrates
 Proteins
 Lipids
Digestive System Organization
 Gastrointestinal (Gl) tract
 Tube within a tube
 Direct link/path between organs
 Structures
 Mouth
 Pharynx
 Esophagus
 Stomach
 Small intestine
 Large Intestine
 Rectum
4
Mouth
 Teeth mechanically
break down food into
small pieces. Tongue
mixes food with saliva
(contains amylase,
which helps break down
starch).
 Epiglottis is a flap-like
structure at the back of
the throat that closes
over the trachea
preventing food from
entering it. It is located
in the Pharynx.
Esophagus
 Approximately 20 cm long.
 Functions include:
1. Secrete mucus
2. Moves food from the throat to
the stomach using muscle
movement called peristalsis
 If acid from the stomach gets in
here thats heartburn.
Mouth, Pharynx and Esophagus Video
Stomach
7
 J-shaped muscular bag that stores the food you
eat, breaks it down into tiny pieces.
 Mixes food with Digestive Juices that contain
enzymes to break down Proteins and Lipids.
 Acid (HCl) in the stomach Kills Bacteria.
 Food found in the stomach is called Chyme.
Small Intestine
 Small intestines are roughly 7 meters long
 Lining of intestine walls has finger-like
projections called villi, to increase surface
area.
 The villi are covered in microvilli which
further increases surface area for
absorption.

Crash Course Review
Small Intestine
 Nutrients from the food pass into the
bloodstream through the small
intestine walls.
 Absorbs:
 80% ingested water
 Vitamins
 Minerals
 Carbohydrates
 Proteins
 Lipids
 Secretes digestive enzymes
9
Large Intestine
 About 1.5 meters long
 Accepts what small intestines dont
absorb
 Rectum (short term storage which
holds feces before it is expelled).
Large Intestine
 Functions
 Bacterial digestion
 Ferment carbohydrates
 Absorbs more water
 Concentrate wastes
Accessory Organs The Glands
 Not part of the path
of food, but play a
critical role.
 Include: Liver, gall
bladder, and
pancreas
Liver
 Directly affects digestion by producing
bile
 Bile helps digest fat
 filters out toxins and waste including
drugs and alcohol and poisons.
13
Gall Bladder
 Stores bile from the
liver, releases it into the
small intestine.
 Fatty diets can cause
gallstones
Pancreas
 Produces digestive
enzymes to digest fats,
carbohydrates and
proteins
 Regulates blood sugar
by producing insulin
