Human digestive system
The Stomach Muscular sac of acid Performs mechanical and chemical digestion Starts the breakdown of proteins
The Stomach Sphincter: Know the sphincters of the stomach!
The Stomach Layer to know: Muscularis Chyme
The Stomach Mucosa: another layer to know What is the function of the mucosa Gastric juice: what is it and how does the mucosa protect itself from it?
Pepsin Catalyzes the breakdown of proteins into their amino acid subunits Originally produced as pepsinogen Page 411, #5
Mucosa Due to proximity to strong acid, must be constantly regenerated Ulcer: Heliobacter pylori: What role does this bacteri play in the production of ulcers?
Human digestive system
Small Intestine Long (up to 7m), thin (2.5cm) tube Site of the majority of digestion and absorption
Small Intestine
Small Intestine Know these and what goes on at each! Duodenum Jejunum Ileum
Small Intestine Pyloric sphincter:
Pancreas Bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) Amylase: Trypsinogen: Trypsin: Compare and contrast pepsin/pepsinogen with trypsin/trypsinogen.
Pancreas Carboxypeptidase and erepsin: Lipases: What difficulty do lipases encounter when digesting food?
Liver Produces bile Stores it in the gall bladder Bile emulsifies fats What is this and why?
Absorption Once food is broken down into the smallest subunits, it is absorbed by the cells lining the small intestine and passed into the bloodstream Occurs in the villi and microvilli
Absorption – Surface area
Absorption – Surface area Ridges Villi Epithelial cells Microvilli
Absorption – Surface area
Absorption - Transport How do nutrients get absorbed? Passive transport: Diffusion Osmosis Facilitated diffusion Know examples of molecules that get transported by these mechanisms!
Absorption – Passive Transport
Absorption – Active transport Involves movement of molecules against a concentration gradient
Absorption – Passive Transport
