1. The Human Body 35-1

2. Body Organization

3. Body Tissues 1) Connective – provides body support and connections 2) Epithelial – line exterior body and internal glands and organs 3) Nervous – transmits electrical impulses 4) Muscle – allows the body to move inside and out

5. Human Body Systems

6. Homeostasis This is a classic example of feedback inhibition/negative feedback. Can you think of another?

7. Homeostasis – Negative Feedback

8. Digestion 38-1 to 38-2

9. By the end of this digestion lesson you should be able to: 1) Explain why your body needs food 2) Explain how the digestive system allows you to use your food 3) Describe the path that food takes through your digestive system 4) Explain the functions of the major structures in the digestive system

10. Why is eating such a vital part of your day? Your body needs the fuel (energy) that is can extract from your food Your body cells convert the chemical energy stored in your food (calories) into ATP So why not just eat these all day???

11. Your balanced diet should include….

12. The New Food Labels… Why not this?

13. Our body needs nutrients like Water Carbohydrates Fats Proteins Vitamins Minerals

14. Vitamins (pg. 974): Organic molecules that work with enzymes to regulate body processes Diets lacking certain vitamins can have serious consequences 2 Types:  Fat-soluble - A, D, E & K; can be stored for future use  Water-soluble - B varieties, C, Niacin, Pantothenic acid; can’t be stored in the body

15. Minerals (pg. 975): Inorganic nutrients needed by the body in small amounts Ex: Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium What are they needed for?

16. Digestion Breaks down food into small molecules that can be absorbed by our cells Includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine Other helpful accessory structures are the salivary glands, pancreas, and the liver

17. The Mouth Mechanical digestion - the teeth tear and crush food Chemical digestion - enzymes break down carbohydrates (amylase) and microorganisms (lysozyme) THINK ABOUT IT: Where do the enzymes come from?

18. The Esophagus The food tube that the bolus travels through to reach the stomach Peristalsis draws the food down The cardiac sphincter prevents food from leaving the stomach

19. The Stomach Large muscular sac Mechanical Digestion - muscle contractions produce a fluid and food mixture called chyme Chemical Digestion - gastric glands release lubricating mucus, hydrochloric acid, and pepsin What does pepsin do?

20. The Small Intestine Food enters through the pyloric valve Most chemical digestion and absorption occur here Enzymes from the pancreas, liver and intestine lining continue to break down food Divided into three parts: Duodenum, jejunum, and the ileum

21. The Small Intestine

22. Digestion in the Small Intestine 1) Most chemical digestion occurs in the duodenum aided by: 1)Liver - produces bile to digest fats 2)Pancreas - 1)Produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates (amylase), proteins(trypsin), nucleic acids and fats (lipase) 2)Produces the base, sodium bicarbonate that allows the other enzymes to be effective 3)What else does it do?

23. Absorption in the Small Intestine Occurs in the jejunum & ilieum Made of folded surfaces covered with villi that increase the surface area for absorption Capillaries line the villi in order to absorb small carbohydrates and proteins Lymph vessels absorb some fats Water, cellulose and undigestible substances leave the small intestine

24. The Large Intestine Colon Removes the water by absorbing it from the remaining chyme Bacterial colonies produce compounds for the body like vitamin K Wastes are eliminated through the rectum Review the process of Digestion

25. Food for thought…. 1) Write down on a scrap piece of paper the complete meal you ate for dinner last night. List out each part of your meal. 2) Did you consume a balanced diet? Show what nutrients, vitamins and minerals you ate by writing them next to the food they came from. Use pgs. 974-975 3) What enzymes were hard at work in your stomach??? Small intestine?
