Digestion

A closer look at how nutrients get into the bloodstream Food is absorbed (taken in) to the body in the small intestine. The wall of the small intestine has small holes in it. Only small particles can pass through it: starch G G G GUT INSIDE THE BODY (BLOOD) Large particles (e.g. starch) are left in the gut and small particles (e.g. glucose) go through into the blood. G G G BUT large particles can be broken down into small particles. This is called DIGESTION

A journey through the gut For the rest of this topic we will be taking a trip through the digestive system. What are the parts of the system? What will we see on the way?!

How we learned about the digestive system

Mouth: What happens Food is crushed and ground up by teeth The salivary glands make saliva which makes the food moist and easy for swallowing Amylase enzyme (in saliva) breaks the carbohydrate starch down into glucose.

peristalsis

Stomach Stomach muscles contract and relax to mechanically break down the food They also mix the food up with gastric juice and hydrochloric acid –The acid kills germs in the food –The gastric juice contains the protease enzyme PEPSIN to digest protein into amino acids Food spends about 3-4 hours in here.

Mechanical and Chemical Digestion in the Stomach

The duodenum The first part of the small intestine is called the duodenum. Food, still mixed with gastric juice is squirted into it from the stomach. The food is now a semi liquid, highly acidic mush. It needs to be neutralised and digestion needs to be continued…

Liver Gall bladder Duodenum Pancreas Stomach

The small intestine The small intestine has 3 enzymes to complete digestion: –Amylase breaks starch down into glucose. –Protease breaks protein down into amino acids. –Lipase breaks fats down into fatty acids and glycerol

Small Intestine: Absorption The food is then ABSORBED through the wall of the small intestine into the blood stream. To do this effectively, the small intestine needs to have a large surface area. This is achieved in the following ways:

Absorption 1 The tube is over 6 meters long The inner wall of the tube has bends in it The wall is covered in villi (small finger- like structures) Outer wall Inner wall Pathway for Food

Absorption 2: Villi Outer wall Inner wall Pathway for Food

Egestion Any indigestible food (e.g. fiber) passes into the large intestine (colon). Water is absorbed back into the body. –Where has this water come from? The food becomes a solid waste called feces.
