1
The Digestive System A & P
2
15.1 Functions: mechanical and chemical breakdown of food *absorption of nutrients Consists of alimentary canal and accessory organs
3
Wall of the Alimentary Canal
4
Characteristics of the Canal 1. Mucosa - protects tissues and carries absorption 2. Submucosa - glands, blood vessels, nerves 3. Muscular Layer - smooth muscle tissue, circular & longitudinal fibers, pushes food (PERISTALSIS) 4. Serosa (serous layer) - visceral perioneum, outer covering of the tube, lubricates surfaces (serous fluid)
6
Mixing Movements Contractions mix food with digestive juices Peristalsis - pushes food down the tube
7
Anatomy of the Mouth
8
Anatomy of a Tooth
9
Teeth Incisors Cuspid (canine) Bicuspids Molars
12
Tooth Decay
13
METH MOUTH
16
ROOT CANAL
17
Salivary Glands Parotid - ear, cheek Submandibular - below jaw Sublingual - under tongue
18
Pharynx nasopharynx oropharynx laryngopharynx
19
Esophagus esophageal hiatus is where it penetrates the diaphragm cardiac sphincter at entrance to stomach
20
STOMACH MUSCLES: Longitudinal, Circular, Oblique
21
Stomach Regions Cardiac Fundic Body (greater and lesser curvature) Pyloric
22
Stomach Lining Gastric Juices contain acids that break down food - secreted by gastric glands PEPSIN - most important digestive enzyme for breaking down food Mucus prevents stomach from digesting itself
23
Chyme - paste, after food has been broken down, released then into the duodenum via the pyloric sphincter valve Rugae - folds within stomach Gastric Pits contain glands to make juices
24
PANCREAS - secretes insulin which breaks down sugars Pancreatic Juice also breaks down fat
25
Liver 1 large right lobe | 1 smaller left lobe
26
Liver - ducts and vessels Hepatic duct --> to common bile duct Hepatic portal vein - circulates blood throughout liver
27
Liver Functions 1. blood glucose levels 2. breakdown of lipids and fats 3. protein metabolism 4. stores vitamins 5. destroys damaged RBCs 6. removes toxins 7. secretes bile
28
Remember Bili Lights? Using bili lights is a therapeutic procedure performed on newborn or premature infants to reduce elevated levels of bilirubin. If blood levels of bilirubin become too high, the bilirubin begins to dissolve in the body tissues, producing the characteristic yellow eyes and skin of jaundice.
29
Gall Bladder - under liver cystic duct --> common bile duct stores bile, digests fat *gallstones may form
30
Small Intestine Starts at the pyloric sphincter 1. Duodenum 2. Jejunum 3. Ileum *Mesentery Membrane holds it together, contains blood vessels
31
Greater Omentum a "curtain-like" membrane that covers the intestines, stores fat and lays like a drape
32
Greater Omentum
34
Intestinal villi - increase surface area to absorb nutrients, connect to vessels
35
The main function of the small intestine is to secrete chemicals that break down food and carry the nutrients away in the blood stream. In one word: ABSORPTION
36
Large Intestine Cecum Appendix Colon (4 parts) Cecum Ascendin g Transverse De scending Sigmoid Rectum Anus
37
Function of Large Intestine Secretes mucus, reabsorbs water, contains bacteria to aid in digestion (intestinal flora) Mass Movements (defecation) - removes undigested food The main job is WATER REABSORPTION...

Disorders of the Digestive System GERD Gastroesophageal reflux disease

Dysentery or Diarrhea
46
HEPATITIS A, B, C
47
Hepatitis A is caused by eating food and drinking water infected with a virus called HAV. While it can cause swelling and inflammation in the liver, it doesn't lead to chronic disease. Almost everyone who gets hepatitis A has a full recovery, some may need hospitalization Many people are recommended to receive hepatitis A vaccine, including people at increased risk for exposure to hepatitis A virus infection and people who are more likely to get seriously ill if infected with the virus
48
Hepatitis B is caused by the virus HBV. It is spread by contact with an infected person's blood, semen, or other body fluid. And, it is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Some people never develop symptoms, others develop chronic symptoms that stay with them their whole life.
49
Hepatitis C is caused by the virus HCV. It is spread the same way as hepatitis B, through contact with an infected person's blood, semen, or body fluid (see above). Like hepatitis B, hepatitis C causes swelling of the liver and can cause liver damage that can lead to cancer. Most people who have hepatitis C develop a chronic infection. This may lead to a scarring of the liver, called cirrhosis. cirrhosis Blood banks test all donated blood for hepatitis C, greatly reducing the risk for getting the virus from blood transfusions or blood products.
50
Crohn’s Disease
51
IBS - Irritable Bowel Syndrome
52
STOMACH ULCERS
53
Lactose Intolerance Inability to digest milk, can cause stomach upset
54
Appendicitis
55
Hernia intestines poke through abdominal muscles
57
When people with celiac disease eat foods or use products containing gluten, their immune system responds by damaging or destroying villi Without healthy villi, a person becomes malnourished, no matter how much food one eats.
58
Gallstones (Cholelithiasis) GallstonesGallstones are made from cholesterol and other things found in the bile. They can be smaller than a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball.cholesterol
