1
THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
2
The Digestive System Function Parts How the parts work together
3
Function of Digestive System Absorption of food Removal of waste into bloodstream Break down food to get nutrients to cells
4
Organs
5
Breaking down food Mouth Stomach Small intestines Large intestines Rectum Peripheral organs
6
Mechanical Digestion Physically breaking something apart –Teeth –Muscles of the stomach
7
Chemical Enzymes and acids added –break down big food molecules
8
Enzyme
9
Mouth Teeth Salivary glands- starts breaking down and starts digestion Tongue
10
Mouth Mechanical Chemical
11
Mouth - Mechanical Teeth – Incisor – Canine – Molar – Pre-Molar
12
Mouth - Chemical Saliva – Salivary amylase Breaks down starches into sugars
13
Mouth Teeth Salivary glands- starts breaking down and starts digestion Tongue
14
Esophagus
15
Stomach Grinds and dissolves food Main part of digestion
16
Stomach J- shaped organ Can hold 2 liters of food Most mechanical digestion occurs here
17
Stomach - Mechanical Strong muscles grind up food particles
18
Stomach - Chemical Pepsin – proteins amino acids Hydrochloric Acid -Kills bacteria - Provides good environment for pepsin
19
Small Intestine ~ 6 meters (20 feet) long ~ 2 or 3 cm (1 inch) wide Almost all chemical digestion occurs here
20
Small Intestine Most chemical digestion occurs here. Absorption of nutrients occurs here.
21
Intestines (Bowel) Large Stores, Compacts, and Eliminates indigestible material
22
Fast Facts About Villi Stretch out- 18ft Flatten surface- larger than a tennis court
23
Villi absorb nutrients
24
Small intestine - Chemical Bile – breaks fats into small particles – made in liver
25
Small intestine - Chemical Trypsin – made by pancrease –breaks down proteins
26
Large intestine Bacteria – cellulose - vitamin K Absorbs water Compacts stool
28
Rectum Stores feces Leaves rectum and body through the anus
30
Salivary Glands Produce – salivary amylase –starches simple sugars
32
Pancreas Produces trypsin and other enzymes to break down proteins
34
Liver Produces bile to break down fats
37
Gall Bladder Stores bile from liver Controls release of bile small intestine.
39
How the Digestive System works Break down food Absorption of food Getting rid of waste
40
Organs
41

42
Mechanical Digestion Physically breaking something apart –Teeth –Muscles of the stomach
43
Chemical Enzymes and acids added –break down big food molecules
44
Mouth Teeth Salivary glands- produce salivary amylase Tongue
50
Mouth Teeth Salivary glands- starts breaking down and starts digestion Tongue
53
Esophagus Connects mouth to stomach Peristalsis – muscles move food to stomach.
55
Esophagus
57
Stomach mechanical digestion - grinding chemical digestion –pepsin - proteins amino acids –amylase - starches sugars
