Movement of digestive materials
Visceral smooth muscle shows rhythmic cycles of activity Pacemaker cells Peristalsis Waves that move a bolus Segmentation Churn and fragment a bolus

Control of the digestive system
Movement of materials along the digestive tract is controlled by: Neural mechanisms Parasympathetic and local reflexes Hormonal mechanisms Enhance or inhibit smooth muscle contraction Local mechanisms Coordinate response to changes in pH or chemical stimuli

8
The mouth opens into the oral or buccal cavity
Its functions include: Analysis of material before swallowing Mechanical processing by the teeth, tongue, and palatal surfaces Lubrication Limited digestion
9
The tongue primary functions include: Mechanical processing
Assistance in chewing and swallowing Sensory analysis by touch, temperature, and taste receptors
10
The pharynx Common passageway for food, liquids, and air
Lined with stratified squamous epithelium Pharyngeal muscles assist in swallowing Pharyngeal constrictor muscles Palatal muscles
11
Histology of the esophagus
Distinctive features of the esophageal wall include Nonkeratinized, stratified squamous epithelium Folded mucosa and submucosa Mucous secretions by esophageal glands A muscularis with both smooth and skeletal muscle portions Lacks serosa Anchored by an adventitia

Functions of the stomach
Bulk storage of undigested food Mechanical breakdown of food Disruption of chemical bonds via acids and enzymes Production of intrinsic factor
15
Digestion and absorption in the stomach
Preliminary digestion of proteins Pepsin Permits digestion of carbohydrates Very little absorption of nutrients Some drugs, however, are absorbed Mucous secretion containing several hormones Enteroendocrine cells G cells secrete gastrin D cells secrete somatostatin

Small intestine Important digestive and absorptive functions
Secretions and buffers provided by pancreas, liver, gall bladder Three subdivisions: Duodenum Jejunum Ileum Ileocecal sphincter Transition between small and large intestine

Histology of the small intestine
Plicae Transverse folds of the intestinal lining Villi Fingerlike projections of the mucosa Lacteals Terminal lymphatic in villus Intestinal glands Lined by enteroendocrine, goblet and stem cells

Intestinal juices Moisten chyme Help buffer acids
Maintain digestive material in solution
31
Small Intestine Duodenal glands (Brunner’s glands)
produce mucus, buffers, urogastrone Ileum aggregated lymphoid nodules (Peyer’s patches)
32
Intestinal movements Peristalsis Segmentation Gastroenteric reflexes
Initiated by stretch receptors in stomach Gastroileal reflex Triggers relaxation of ileocecal valve
33
The pancreas Pancreatic duct penetrates duodenal wall
Endocrine functions Insulin and glucagons Exocrine functions Majority of pancreatic secretions Pancreatic juice secreted into small intestine Carbohydrases Lipases Nucleases Proteolytic enzymes

The liver Performs metabolic and hematological regulation and produces bile Histological organization Lobules containing single-cell thick plates of hepatocytes Lobules unite to form common hepatic duct Duct meets cystic duct to form common bile duct

Coordination secretion and absorption
Neural and hormonal mechanisms coordinate glands GI activity stimulated by parasympathetic innervation Inhibited by sympathetic innervation Enterogastric, gastroenteric and gastroileal reflexes coordinate stomach and intestines

43
Functions of the large intestine
Reabsorb water and compact material into feces Absorb vitamins produced by bacteria Store fecal matter prior to defecation

The rectum Last portion of the digestive tract
Terminates at the anal canal Internal and external anal sphincters
47
Histology of the large intestine
Absence of villi Presence of goblet cells Deep intestinal glands
48
Physiology of the large intestine
Reabsorption in the large intestine includes: Water Vitamins – K, biotin, and B5 Organic wastes – urobilinogens and sterobilinogens Bile salts Toxins Mass movements of material through colon and rectum Defecation reflex triggered by distention of rectal walls
49
Figure 24.25 The Defecation Reflex
50
Processing and absorption of nutrients
Disassembles organic food into smaller fragments Hydrolyzes carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids for absorption
51
Carbohydrate digestion and absorption
Begins in the mouth Salivary and pancreatic enzymes Disaccharides and trisaccharides Brush border enzymes Monosaccharides Absorption of monosaccharides occurs across the intestinal epithelia
52
Lipid digestion and absorption
Lipid digestion utilizes lingual and pancreatic lipases Bile salts improve chemical digestion by emulsifying lipid drops Lipid-bile salt complexes called micelles are formed Micelles diffuse into intestinal epithelia which release lipids into the blood as chylomicrons
53
Protein digestion and absorption
Low pH destroys tertiary and quaternary structure Enzymes used include pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and elastase Liberated amino acids are absorbed
54
Absorption Water Nearly all that is ingested is reabsorbed via osmosis
Ions Absorbed via diffusion, cotransport, and active transport Vitamins Water soluble vitamins are absorbed by diffusion Fat soluble vitamins are absorbed as part of micelles Vitamin B12 requires intrinsic factor
