The GI System You Are What You Absorb and Assimilate
The GI System Gastrointestinal (GI) tract (Alimentary canal) a continuous muscular digestive tube Digests: breaks food into smaller fragments Absorbs: digested material is moved through mucosa into the blood Eliminates: unabsorbed & secreted wastes
GI System - Ingestion Mouth mechanical digestion teeth breaking up food chemical digestion saliva amylase» enzyme digests starch mucin» slippery protein (mucus)» protects soft lining of digestive system» lubricates food for easier swallowing buffers» neutralizes acid to prevent tooth decay anti-bacterial chemicals» kill bacteria that enter mouth with food
GI System - Ingestion Network
GI System - Ingestion Mucosa: The epithelial membrane that lines the GI tract from mouth g anus. Secretes mucous, digestive enzymes & hormones Absorbs nutrients Protects from disease & from the GI contents
GI System - Ingestion Submucosa: moderately dense CT with blood, nerve, lymph vessels & lymphoid follicles; rich in elastic fibers Muscularis externa: smooth muscle Responsible for peristalsis & segmentation Circular layer Longitudinal layer Sphincters: in some areas the circular layer thickens; act as valves Serosa: The last layer is a protective layer. It is composed of avascular connective tissue and simple squamous epithelium. It secretes lubricating serous fluid. This is the visible layer on the outside of the organs.
mouth break up food digest starch kill germs moisten food
Mouth Chemical and mechanical digestion. Food is chewed (masticated) mechanically. A bolus (lump) is formed with saliva and the tongue.
Mouth Chemical and mechanical digestion. Food is chewed (masticated) mechanically. A bolus (lump) is formed with saliva and the tongue.
Stomach Stomach: bolus is mixed with gastric juice (liquid, mucus and enzymes) chyme Enzymes: - pepsin: protein (step 1) - gastric lipase lipid (step 1) Pepsin is first activated by HCl (pepsinogen pepsin) Gastric juice ph=2 [chemical digestion is minimal)]
Liver Roles of the liver: - Secretes bile - Processes nutrients - Remove wastes from the body - Detoxify - Secretes hormones
Pancreas - Trypsinogen trypsin (enterokinase from duodenum). - Chymotrypsinogen and carboxypeptidase chymotrypsin and active carboxypeptidase). Step 1 of protein digestion - Pancreatic amylase Step 1 carbohydrate digestion - Pancreatic lipase step 1 lipid digestion - Bicarbonates ions from the pancreatic juice help neutralize the acidity of the chyme.
GallBladder Pouch structure located near the liver which concentrates and stores bile Bile duct a long tube that carries BILE. The top half of the common bile duct is associated with the liver, while the bottom half of the common bile duct is associated with the pancreas, through which it passes on its way to the intestine.
Small Intestine Duodenum Receive juices from pancreas, liver and its own wall Secretion from the duodenum: They finish off the last step of digestion. Peptidases (or dipeptidases) break off the bond between dipeptides to free 2 amino acids Disaccharidase (maltase, sucrase, lactase) break off disaccharides into 2 monosaccharides (mostly glucose) Intestinal lipase breaks off diglycerides into monoglycerides and fatty acids. Nutrients are completely degraded into forms that can be absorbed by cell (step 2 of chemical digestion)
Duodenum
Large Intestine - Colon Reabsorb water from food and digestive juices Function re-absorb water use ~9 liters of water every day in digestive juices > 90% of water reabsorbed not enough water absorbed diarrhea too much water absorbed constipation
Appendix The Appendix is important in Immune function and it also Helps maintain gut flora
