THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Breaks down food and passes nutrients into your body
Mechanical- physical breakdown of food Chemical- involves enzymes
I. The Mouth 1. Teeth- crush food Saliva moistens food 2. Amylase breaks down starches & release sugar 3. Lysozyme digests cell walls of bacteria
II. Esophagus Food tube to stomach 4. Epiglottis covers trachea to prevent choking 5. Bolus chewed up food 6. Peristalsis – muscular contractions push food down 7. Cardiac sphincter – closes esophagus- prevents back flow
III. Stomach Large muscular sac Continues mechanical digestion (contractions churn & mix food) 8. Mucus lubricates and protects wall 9. Hydrochloric acid- stomach acid 10. Pepsin (enzyme)- digest protein Food becomes 11. chyme- mixture of food and liquid
IV. Small Intestine 12. Chemical digestion and absorption of food 13. Pancreas produces enzymes that break down food, hormones to regulate sugar levels, & chemicals to neutralize stomach acids 14. Liver- produces bile 15. Bile- like detergent to dissolve fat 16. Gallbladder- stores bile
20 ft 17. Villi- fingerlike projections absorb nutrients
V. Large Intestine (5 ft) 18. Removes water from undigested material 19. Concentrated waste remains through the rectum and eliminated out 20. anus
What is the difference between bolus and chyme?
Put the following in order: Stomach, esophagus, mouth, large intestine, rectum, anus, small intestine
