Objectives
• Describe digestion• Identify and explain the function of each organ of the system
• Explain preventative measures for digestive disorders
• Describe problems associated with the system

Functions of Digestive System• Digestion-mechanical and chemical breakdown of foods by the body’s cells
• Absorption-passage of digested food from digestive tract to the circulatory system
• Elimination-expulsion of undigested food or body waste

Structure of SystemMESSLA
• Mouth• Esophagus• Stomach• Small Intestine• Large Intestine• Anus• Organs that help-liver , gall bladder, pancreas
![Page 5: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. Objectives Describe digestion Identify and explain the function of each organ of the system Explain preventative measures for digestive](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495ba00/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Mouth
• Ingestion: Taking of
food into the body•Structures are:
•Teeth: Break down food•Mastication: Process of chewing
•Salivary Glands: Saliva breaks down food, makes it easier to swallow
•Tongue: Prepares food to swallow

Esophagus
•Muscular tube extending from mouth to the stomach
•Peristalsis: Series of involuntary muscular contractions
![Page 7: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. Objectives Describe digestion Identify and explain the function of each organ of the system Explain preventative measures for digestive](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495ba00/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Stomach
• Hollow, saclike organ enclosed in a muscular wall (3 layers of muscles)
• Function of the stomach is: • Continue to breakdown food
• Store food until it’s ready to enter small intestine
![Page 8: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. Objectives Describe digestion Identify and explain the function of each organ of the system Explain preventative measures for digestive](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495ba00/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Stomach
• Control rate at which food enters small intestine
• Mix food and gastric juices (contain pepsin and hydrochloric acid) • Chyme: creamy fluid mix of food and gastric juices
![Page 9: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. Objectives Describe digestion Identify and explain the function of each organ of the system Explain preventative measures for digestive](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495ba00/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Small Intestine
• Major part of digestion and absorption occur here
• 20-23 feet in length, 1 inch in diameter• Chyme enters small intestine and peristalsis moves it at a slow rate (3-5 hours)
![Page 10: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. Objectives Describe digestion Identify and explain the function of each organ of the system Explain preventative measures for digestive](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495ba00/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Villi: Fingerlike projections (Increase surface area) • Absorb digested food particles • Undigested food leaves as liquid and fiber
![Page 11: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. Objectives Describe digestion Identify and explain the function of each organ of the system Explain preventative measures for digestive](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649c9c5503460f9495ba00/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Large Intestine (Colon)
•Absorbs water and
eliminates undigested
food•5-6 feet in length,
2 ½ inches in diameter•Bacteria changes undigested food into feces

• Pancreas – produces the hormone insulin that regulates blood sugar levels
• -- also help neutralize stomach acid
• Liver – produces bile, which breaks down fats in foods
• Gallbladder – pouch-like
organ that stores bile for
future use

Care of the System
• Eat a variety of foods.• Avoid too many fatty foods• Choose foods low in fat and high in fiber• Do not hurry through meals• Do not wash food down with liquid• Drink plenty of water
