The Digestive System
2
The Digestive system Digestion: Mechanical and _________ breakdown of food chemical
3
Functions Ingestion ____________ Mixing Secretion Absorption Digestion
Secretion of water, acids, buffers and enzymes Absorption into the body Defecation
4
Peristalsis https://www. youtube. com/watch. v=IGA-qkQsASY https://www
Moves food through _____________ Mixes food digestive tract Everything begins and ends with peristalsis! Too much swelling in intestines after surgery. Some sort of bowel obstruction. Has been like that for at least 6 months
6
Accessory organs __________ _________ glands Teeth Mouth Salivary
7
Type of Teeth Incisors Cuspid (canine) Bicuspids Molars Premolars
8
Salivary Glands Release saliva Breakdown food All three are located in the mouth
9
Why does the use of meth lead to tooth decay?
Table Talk Why does the use of meth lead to tooth decay?
10
Esophagus Upper sphincter Moves food from pharynx to esophagus
Lower sphincter Moves from esophagus to stomach ***Two different types of muscles Upper made up of skeletal muscle Lower made up of smooth muscle
11
The stomach Gastric Pits contain glands to make juices Rugae
Folds in the stomach Move food during digestion Allow stomach to stretch Pyloric sphincter Moves food from stomach into duodenum (intestine) Rugae- stretch to accommodate for large meals Gastic pits- have glands to make gastric juice Pyloric scphincter- holds food in stomach and allows gastric juices to do therir work (when contrtacted), when relaxed it allows food into the duedomenum
12
Stomach Lining Contains: Gastric Juices Acids that breakdown food
Mucus Prevents stomach from digesting itself
13
Digestive system videos
The inside scoop on your insides mary-roach.html Dr. John Kids Health Crash Course
14
Chyme Made up of food and gastric juices
15
Pancreas Secretes insulin
Secretes various enzymes break down different things Insulin breaks down sugars Lipase- breaks down lipids, Amylase-breaks down carbohydrates , Trypsin- breaks down protein
16
Liver Functions Metabolizes Excretes ________ bilirubin
_________ toxins Produces _______ bilirubin Removes bile Metabolizes- proteins, lipids, carbs Remember bilirubin is a derivative of dead RBC’s Stores vitamins and minerals, activates vitamin D, can also inactivate certain hormones (thyroid hormones, estrogens, aldosterone)
17
Structure of the liver Hepatocyte Bile canaliculi
Hepatocyte = functional cells in the liver, basically allow the liver to perform all of it’s jobs Bile canaliculi – connect bile ducts and pass bile into bile ducts Bile canaliculi
18
Kupffer (cup-fur) Cells
Destroy _______ matter foreign RBCs, WBCs, bacteria
19
Gallbladder Stores bile Bile digests fat
20
Table Talk Which type of liver cell would be considered a phagocyte?
21
_______ the flow of bile bile
Gallstones Crystallized ______ _______ the flow of bile bile Prevent Prevent bile from moving out of the gallbladder. Can be as small as a pea or as big as a golf ball!!!!
23
Duodenum (do-WAD-num) Jejenum (je-JOO-num) Ileum (ill-E-yum)
Small intestine All about ABSORTION Sections: Duodenum (do-WAD-num) Jejenum (je-JOO-num) Ileum (ill-E-yum) **Each absorbs absorb different things using villi Most chemical digestion takes place in the duodenum jejunum is specialized for the absorption, by enterocytes, of small nutrient particles which have been previously digested by enzymes in the duodenum The ileum is mainly to absorb vitamin B12 and bile salts and whatever products of digestion were not absorbed by the jejunum. The wall itself is made up of folds, each of which has many tiny finger-like projections known as villi on its surface.
24
Large Intestine All about WATER REABSORPTION Secretes mucus
The mucus contains bacteria to aid in digestion (intestinal flora)
25
Table talk Where are the cells that absorb dietary nutrients located?
26
defecation Removal of _________ food undigested
27
Types 1–2 indicate constipation, with 3 and 4 being the ideal stools (especially the latter), as they are easy to defecate while not containing any excess liquid, and 5, 6 and 7 tending towards diarrhoea.
28
Digestive System Analogy
Use 10 different organs from the digestive system and create analogies You can use either a house or a city to compare your digestive organs to You must include a picture of the item/thing your are comparing each organ to
