Digestive System
Why Eat?
Good nutrition means your body will perform better. Energy comes from the consumption of nutrients and provides building materials, allowing growth, development, and rebuilding injured and damaged cells.
What system plays a key role in delivering vital nutrients to every cell in the body?
Circulatory System
What does food provide?
Nutrients

Endotherms require more energy
What is energy measured in?
Joules

What are the 2 groups all food substances can be divided into?
Organic and Inorganic
What are Organic Foods?
Organic foods are produced from living organisms. They are Carbs, fats, proteins and vitamins
What are Inorganic Foods?
Food that comes from rocks, soil and the sea. These are minerals and water
What are macronutrients?

What does polyunsaturated mean?
If more than one double bond is present, the fat is said to be polyunsaturated.
Why is water important?

What are the 4 steps of digestion?
Ingestion, Digestion, Absorbtion, Egestion
What happens in Ingestion?
Take in nutrients (food)
What happens in Digestion?
Breakdown of nutrients. Physically and Chemically.
What happens in Absorbtion?
transfer from digestive system to circulatory system (bloodstream)
What happens in Egestion?
Removal of waste (undigested food) material
What is your Gastrointestinal Tract (GI Tract)
Series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from mouth to anus
What do accessory organs do?
supply digestive enzymes that break up food to make transportation and absorption of nutrients easier
What are the accessory organs in GI Tract?
Pancreas, Liver, Gall Bladder (includes salivary glands)
What is the difference between chemical and Mechanical Digestion?
Chemical Digestion is the chemical breakdown by enzymes and water in saliva. Mechanical digestion is the physical breakdown of food

They are chemicals that speed up reactions (Amylase)
What does Mucus in your salivary glands do?
Lubricates and helps you to swallow foods.
What is a bolus?
Food that has been mixed in the mouth and saliva
What is the importance of enzymes?
Enzymes speed up the chemical reactions that breakdown food into smaller, simpler molecules that can pass through cell membranes (Catalyst)
What are the 3 main types of enzymes?
Carbohydrates, Lipases and Proteinases
What are the parts of the mouth?
Soft Palate, Pharynx, Epiglottis
What is your soft palate?
top of mouth
What is your pharynx?
Back of throat
What is your epiglottis?
A flap that lowers on the windpipe to prevent food from going to the lungs. Important that it prevents food from going down into the lungs by mistake. Made up of tissue made of cartilage that prevents food from entering trachea
What are peristaltic contraction?
Waves of muscular movements move the bolus through the pharynx and esophagus towards the stomach
What is the process of swallowing?
The soft palate lifts up to seal off nasal passages, then the tongue pushes on the back of the mouth to prevent bolus from coming up. The larynx moves up and the epiglottis covers opening to airway
How does food move through the body?
Autonomic control from the brainstem. The tongue moves food around to speed physical and chemical digestion while forming a bolus that can be swallowed. The the epiglottis covers opening to the airway so food goes to the digestive tract, not lungs. Then the peristalsis creates waves of strong muscle contractions that push food along the digestive tract like toothpaste.
What is the esophagus?
A muscular tube with 2 layers of muscle. 1 layer is circular and the other is longitudinal. These layers contract and relax creating a wave-like motion called peristalsis which moves the food down to the stomach.
What is the stomach?
J shaped (Can hold up to 4L of food) Storage of food. chemical and physical digestion occurs here.
what are Sphincters?
'elastics' control the movement of food. Itv is found at both ends of the stomach.
What are the 4 layers of Sphincters?
Mucosa, Submucosa, Muscularis and Serosa
What is Ruggae?
Folds in the stomach that allow the stomach to expand so it can store up to 15L of food
What is Mucosa?
Highly folded, secretes Gastric JUice, replaced every 3 days
What is Submucosa?
Nerves (detects food, initiate gastrin release) Blood vessels
What is Muscularis?
Muscle contracts to churn and mix. Food + Gastric Juice = 'Chyme'
what is Serosa?
Holds stomach together Eliminates rubbing between organs
What happens during chemical digestion?
Mucus protect stomach from the acid. Gastric Acid: hydrochloric acid (pH 2.0-3.0) KIlls microorganisms. HCI activate enzyme- Pepsinogen (converted into pepsin which breaks down proteins into amino acids
What happens in the process of the Stomach?
Gastric Gases are secreted and consists of 3 substances (Hydrochloric ACid, Mucus, Pepsin, and Chyme)
What is Hyrdrochloruc acid?
Kills bacteria and makes acidic environment for enzymes pH of 2
What is Mucus?
Protects the lining of stomach
What is Pepsin?
An enzyme that breaks down protein. Some substances such as water, sugars, ions, and alcohol can be absorbed through the stomach lining
What is chyme?
Name given to the contents of the stomach (Made up fo water, gastric juices and partially digested food)
What is the liver?
Largest internal organ (size of a football) Removes and breaks down toxins in the blood. Breaks down old red blood cells and stores substances such as vitamins, and glycogen. Produces bile, antibodies and essential elements of the blood-clotting mechanism.
What is the bile duct?
Connects liver to gall bladder
What is the gall bladder?
Stores bile. Bile- emulsifies fats, breaking them down to droplets. (Micelles)
What is the Pancreas?
Secrete: 1. Pancreatic amalyse- enzyme; breaks carbs. 2. Trypsin- enzyme; protein digestion. 3. Lipase- enzyme; that breaks down lipids. 4. Secretin- hormone; stimulates release of NaHCOs (Sodium bicarbonate) to neutralize acidic chyme digestive rate 'regulator'
What is the Pancreatic Duct?
Connects pancreas to duodeum
What is the small intestine?
7m long. Has 3 sections; Duodeum, Jejunum and Illeum
What is the duodenum?
Trypsin is made in the pancreas into the duodenum. Enzymes are added, majority of digestion takes place.
What is the Jejunum?
Some digestion and absorption begins
What is Ileum?
majority of nutrients absorbed, enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver aid in digestion process
What is absorption?
Folds called villi increase surface area (10x) Each villi has microvilli for more absorption (500x) Capillaries (tiny blood vessels) absorb nutrients (Carbs, lipids, protein) to enter the bloodstream and deliver to cells. Vessels called lacteals allow fats to enter and go to the lymphatic system
