The Digestive System
About this Chapter
• Digestion function and processes• Anatomy of the digestive system• Motility• Secretion• Regulation of GI function• Digestion and absorption
About this Chapter
• The cephalic phase• The gastric phase• The intestinal phase• Immune functions of the GI tract
Activities of the Digestive System
• Ingestion• Digestion• Mechanical• Chemical / Secretion
• Motility• Peristaltic• Segmentation
• Absorption• Immunity• Elimination
Note:1. Which of these activities occur
at each region of the GI tract.2. Explain how these activities
occur, control (hormones or neural), enzymes and structural mechanisms, no need to name the transporters.

Digestive Function and Processes
• The volume of fluid entering the GI tract must equal the volume leaving 9 liters per day
7.5 L from smallintestine
1.4 L from largeintestine
0.1 L in feces
9.0 L removedfrom lumen
2.0 L food anddrink
1.5 L saliva(salivaryglands)
0.5 L bile(liver)
2.0 L gastricsecretions
1.5 L pancreaticsecretions
1.5 L intestinalsecretions

Digestive System Anatomy
• Trace through digestive system, not specific regions in addition to major parts. Also note accessory structures.
• Most simply:• Oral cavity pharynx
esophagus stomach small intestine large intestine rectum
• Accessory• Salivary glands• Pancreas• Liver and gall bladder

ANATOMY SUMMARY
Digestive System Anatomy
• Stomach• Fundus body antrum (pylorus)
• Pyloric valve• Small intestine• Duodenum jejunum ileum
• Accessory organs: pancreas and liver• Large intestine: colon (ascending, transverse,
descending and sigmoid colons) and rectum• Anus

Digestive System Anatomy
• Layers: same throughout, but modified for different functions
• Mucosa• Created from• Epithelial cells• Lamina propria• Muscularis mucosae
• Modifications increase surface area• Rugae / Plica and villi / crypts
• Submucosa• Muscularis externa• Serosa

Motility
• Tonic contractions • Sustained• Occur in smooth muscle sphincters and
stomach• Keep bolus from moving backwards
• Phasic contractions • Last a few seconds• Peristalsis moves bolus forward• Segmentation mixes
Figure 21-5a
Contractions in the GI Tract
• Peristalsis promotes forward movement
Figure 21-5b
Motility
• Segemental contractions promote mixing

Secretion• 9 liters / day 7 of which from secretions• Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid into the lumen
of the stomach. Other sources include: duodenum / pancreas / salivary glands

Secretion
• Digestive enzymes secreted into mouth, stomach and intestine
• Mucous cells in stomach and goblet cells in intestine
• Saliva is an exocrine secretion• Liver secretes bile
