THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
N: 80 - 82

Function
The main function of the digestive system is to break down macromolecules into substances the body can use

Digestion
Food provides (most of) the nutrients we need to survive
Food is processed in 4 stages:1. Ingestion2. Digestion3. Absorption4. Elimination

Differences in other animals...
Can you think of any others?

The digestive tract is a tube that runs from the mouth to the anus. Food passes through the tract and its related organs.
The accessory organs are ones that assist in the process of digestion, food does not travel through them.

In the mouth...
Digestion begins in the mouth
1.Mechanical destruction of food specialized, omnivorous teeth why do we chew food?
2.Enzymatic breakdown of food saliva enzymes break chemical
bonds (remember the soda cracker?)

What does it eat?

Through the pharynx and esophagus...
Peristalsis occurs in the esophagus and small and large intestines to move food
Peristalsis – involuntary smooth musclecontractions that force contents onward

To the stomach...
The human stomach contains complex gastric juices that continue the breakdown of food
These juices contain... mucus
hydrochloric acid
enzymes

*Just beyond the stomach...
The “chyme” is treated by accessory organs

Into the small intestine...
In the small intestine (~6m long), macromolecules are digested into monomers and absorbed into the blood stream
Villi & microvillimaximize the absorptivesurface area
Absorption into blood

The large intestine home-stretch...
Unabsorbed materials enter the large intestine (~1.5m long)
Primary roles: House helpful bacteria Absorb water
10 trillion bacterial cells convert undigestible nutrients into things we can use

Finally, the rectum & anus!
Rectum holding area for feces absorbs a little water
Anus sphincter that releases feces
