Digestive systems of insects and crustaceans
Crustaceans’ digestive system is separate from the excretory system Insects– the Malpighian tubules – excretory system is connected at the junction of the midgut and hindgut

Contractions of the stomach churn chyme.
Stomach (continued) Contractions of the stomach churn chyme. Mix chyme with gastric secretions. Push food into intestine. Insert fig. 18.5

Each villus is a fold in the mucosa.
Small Intestine Each villus is a fold in the mucosa. Covered with columnar epithelial cells interspersed with goblet cells. Epithelial cells at the tips of villi are exfoliated and replaced by mitosis in crypt of Lieberkuhn. Lamina propria contain lymphocytes, capillaries, and central lacteal. Insert fig

Histology of the Alimentary Canal

31
Sensors of the GI tract– regulatory mechanisms
Mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors involved Located in the walls of the tract organs Sensors respond to Stretching Osmolarity pH Presence of substrates and end-products
32
Regulatory mechanisms (2)
Receptors initiate reflexes Activate of inhibit glands that secrete digestive juices Stimulate smooth muscle of GI tract Move food along the tract Mix lumen content

Adaptation associated with animal’s diet
Microbe-assisted digestion –animals in hydrothermal vents-trophosomes Dentition/mouth parts Length of digestive tract Herbivores Carnivores Omnivores Sharks Birds
35
Microbe-dependent digestion
Digestion assisted by microbes
36
Animals maintain symbiosis with three categories of microbes
Heterotrophic microbes Organic compounds of external origin Autotrophic microbes Synthesize organic molecules from inorganic precursors Chemosynthetic Photosynthetic

38
Hydrothermal-vent worms
Symbiotic with chemoautotrophic bacteria- trophosomes Worms have not mouth, gut, or anus Food comes from sulfur-oxidizing chemoautotrophic bacteria Organic molecules from bacteria meets nutritional needs Vents- source of H2S

43
Rumen – first chamber/fermentation occurs
Stomach of ruminants Several chambers Rumen – first chamber/fermentation occurs Regurgitate fermenting materials from the rumen into mouth Further grinding and reswallow From rumen reticulum omasum abomasum (true stomach)
44
Functions of microbes in ruminants
Synthesize B vitamins, essential amino acids Fermentative breakdown of compounds that animals cannot digest– cellulose Recycle waste nitrogen from animal metabolism Make ammonia so other microbes can use it as nitrogen source

Hind and midgut fermenters
Enlarged cecum/colon Rabbits, horses, zebras, rhinos, apes, elephants Break down of cellulose and carbohydrates Forms short-chain fatty acid B vitamins- not utilized, lost in feces Coprophagy– rabbits eat special soft feces

Digestion and absorption
Digestive enzymes in 3 spatial contexts Intraluminal enzymes Membrane-associated enzymes Intracellular enzymes
50
Intracellular and extracellular digestion
Intraluminal and membrane-associated enzymes are responsible for extracellular digestion Intracellular enzymes are responsible for intracellular digestion Advantages and disadvantages of intra- and extracellular digestions?

Carbohydrate digestion
Organ Substrate Enzyme End product(s) Oral cavity Starch Sal1vary amylase Maltose Stomach Amylase denatured Lumen of intestine Undigested polysaccharides Pancreatic amylase Brush border of small intestine Disaacharides: maltose Sucrose Lactose Maltase Sucrase Lactase Monosaccharides

Protein digestion Organ Substrate Enzyme End product(s) Stomach
Organ Substrate Enzyme End product(s) Stomach Polypeptides Pepsinogen +HCl = pepsin Smaller peptides Lumen of intestine Trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen (inactive enzymes released from the pancreas, transported to duodenum via pancreatic duct. These enzymes are activated by enterokinase from small intestine to trypsin and chymotrypsin Smaller polypeptides Aminopeptidase, carboxypeptidase Amino acids Brush border of small intestine Dipeptides Dipeptidase

Chemical Digestion: Fats

59
Chemical Digestion: Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates absorption: via cotransport with Na+, and facilitated diffusion Enter the capillary bed in the villi Transported to the liver via the hepatic portal vein
60
Chemical Digestion: Proteins
Absorption: similar to carbohydrates Enzymes used: pepsin in the stomach Enzymes acting in the small intestine
61
Chemical Digestion: Fats
Absorption: Diffusion into intestinal cells where they: Combine with proteins and extrude chylomicrons Enter lacteals and are transported to systemic circulation via lymph
62
Coordination of digestion– neural and endocrine control
Controls of digestive activity Extrinsic Central nervous system and autonomic nervous system Intrinsic Hormone-producing cells in stomach and small intestine Distributed via blood and interstitial fluid to target cells
64
Endocrine control Gastrin Secretin CCK GIP Where? When? Why? How?
