1 The Digestive System

2 How long is your digestive system?
Almost 9 meters or 30 feet!

5 The Digestive System Breakdown (digestion) of foods into simpler molecules Absorption of simple molecules into the blood for the cells of the body to use

6 Mechanical Digestion Physical Breakdown
Mouth Chew food Esophagus, Stomach, Intestines Muscle contractions move food through the digestive system

7 Chemical Digestion Chemical Breakdown
Mouth Salivary glands produce enzymes Stomach Food mixed with acids Small Intestine Enzymes break down food Microvilli absorb food

8 The Route of Food through the Digestive System
Mouth  Esophagus  Stomach  Small Intestine  Large Intestine  Anus

9 The Route of Food Digestion
Food is chewed & mixes with saliva. Food is swallowed & moves through the esophagus. Food moves into the stomach.

10 The Route of Food Digestion
4. Food is broken down into a liquid paste as it’s mixed with acids. 5. Food moves into a long tube called the small intestine. 6. Nutrients are absorbed into the blood by the villi in the small intestine.

11 The small intestine is very efficient – almost all of the nutrients from your food are absorbed.
The lining of the small intestine is covered in tiny projections called villi. The villi make absorption efficient by increasing the surface area of the small intestine. The small intestine is over 20 ft. long & has a surface area the size of a tennis court!

13 The Route of Food Digestion
7. Undigested food moves into the large intestine. 8. Water is removed from the undigested food. 9. Undigested liquid food paste is turned into solid waste. 10. Solid waste leaves the body through the anus.

14 Digestive System Diseases
Heartburn: caused by acid reflux from stomach back into esophagus & pharynx Ulcers: caused by bacteria – the pain is the stomach acid irritating the stomach lining Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Inflammation of rectum, colon, & small intestine Symptoms include fever, nausea, weight loss, diarrhea

15 Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Stomach Ulcer Inflammatory Bowel Disease

What happens to our food after we eat it?. Step 1: Mouth Mechanical digestion starts when we bite and chew our food Chemical digestion starts as saliva.
