The document discusses the digestive system and provides information on each part of the GI tract, including their functions and the multi-step process of digestion from the mouth through the small and large intestines. It also covers the accessory organs of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas. The document aims to educate on the digestive system through text, diagrams, questions, and an assignment for students to list healthy practices related to digestive care.
4. • Objective:
• After performing this activity, you should be able to
identify the nutritional disorders caused by nutrient
deficiency.
• Procedure:
• 1. Complete the picture by solving the puzzle.
• 2. Arrange the letters to identify the disease. Some letters
have corresponding numbers as your guide.
• 3.You have only 2 minutes to finish your activity.
5. •In an article in businessmirror.com written
by Claudeth Mocon-Ciriaco on February 7,
2019, according to a recent study by the
Food and Nutrition Research Institute
(FNRI), the current chronic malnutrition
rate among Filipino children aged 0 to 2 is
at 26.2 percent, the highest in 10 years.
So, out of 100 children aged 0 to 2, how
many suffers from malnutrition?
9. • The digestive system is made up
of the gastrointestinal tract—
also the liver, pancreas, and
gallbladder. The GI tract is a
series of hollow organs joined in
a long, twisting tube from the
mouth to the down to the anus.
The hollow organs that make up
the GI tract are the mouth,
esophagus, stomach, small
intestine, large intestine, and
anus. Liver, pancreas, and
gallbladder are the solid organs
of the digestive system.
10. • Digestion begins when
food enters the(oral
cavity) mouth . In which
mechanical and
chemical digestion
occurs.Teeth break up
and grind food
(mechanical), while an
enzyme in saliva called
amylase begins to break
down carbohydrates
(chemical).
11. • After the food is
swallowed, the
chewed food (now
called a bolus) moves
down to the
esophagus.The
esophagus acts as a
connection between
the mouth and
stomach.
12. • The bolus that reaches the
stomach, where more
chemical and mechanical
digestion take place. Muscles
in the stomach walls churn
the bolus (mechanical),
allowing to mix it with
gastric acids(chemical and
digestive enzymes.This
process changes the bolus
into liquid called chyme.
13. • Digestion continues for several hours in
the stomach.This time, an enzyme
called pepsin breaks down most of the
protein in the food. Slowly the chyme
transported into the small intestine,
where most chemical digestion takes
place. Bile, which is made in the liver, is
released from the gallbladder, helps
digest fats. Enzymes from the pancreas
and intestinal walls together with the
chyme starts the final part of digestion.
• What remains of the food when it
reaches the end of the ileum is a
combination of water, electrolytes —
such as sodium and chloride — and
waste products, such as plant fiber and
dead cells shed from the lining of your
digestive tract.
• This is where absorption of chemicals
and nutrients from the food takes place.
14. Large Intestine
As this residue passes through the
colon, nearly all of the water is
absorbed, leaving a usually soft
but formed substance called
stool. Muscles in the wall of your
colon separate the waste into
small segments that are pushed
into your lower colon and rectum.
As the rectal walls are stretched,
they signal the need for a bowel
movement.
When the sphincter muscles in
your anus relax, the rectal walls
contract to increase pressure.
These coordinated muscle
contractions expel the stool.
15. THE ACCESSORY ORGANS OF OUR
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Pancreas - pancreatic juices is secreted
to help in digestion of proteins and
carbohydrates.
Gallbladder – It stores bile that is
produced by the liver.
Liver - creates bile for fat digestion,
processes absorbed vitamins and
detoxifies blood.
Salivary glands - moisten food and
begin chemical digestion of starches.
16. • 1.Teenagers like you sometimes do not eat breakfast and
drink sodas and junk foods for snack. Do you think it is
healthy?
• 2. What part of your digestive system will be first affected if
you continually do that habit for a long time?
• 3. Do you think it will lead to a more serious illness like colon
cancer?
