CIRCULATOARY AND DIGESTIVE SYSTEMS
PP
3
NUTRIENTS Carbohydrates, fats, proteins
Minerals: help balance osmosis and the function of certain cells (i.e muscle cell) Vitamins: aid enzyme activity Water: accounts for half of your body weight
5
FUNCTION Breakdown of food into simpler molecules which are then absorbed One long tube from mouth to anus Nutrients broken down by the digestive system are carried to all the other organs by the circulatory systems
6
DIGESTIVE TRACT MOUTH AND ESOPHAGUS
Amylase (enzyme) is released from glands into saliva Breaks down carbs to monosaccharides Bolus (food ball) travels down esophagus to stomach
7
STOMACH Muscle contractions break bolus a part
Pepsin (enzyme) breaks down proteins into amino acids HCl keeps stomach acidic so the pepsin can work
8
LIVER Produces bile that breaks makes the fat molecules smaller
9
GALL BLADDER Stores bile and secretes it into the small intestine
10
PANCREAS Secretes sodium bicarbonate (base) into small intestine to neutralize acid
11
SMALL INTESTINE Trypsin (enzyme) breaks down proteins
High surface area (villi and microvilli) for nutrient absorption Surrounded by blood vessels
12
LARGE INTESTINE/COLON
Absorption of water, minerals, and vitamins
13

Leptin is produced by adipose tissue and can help to suppress appetite
Satiety center Hormones regulate long-term and short-term appetite by affecting a “satiety center” in the brain Leptin is produced by adipose tissue and can help to suppress appetite Ghrelin Insulin Figure A few of the appetite-regulating hormones. Leptin PYY
