ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Digestion is the process by which food broken down so that it can be used bythe body. The digestive system begins in the mouth. The digestive tract is a longtube running from the mouth to the anus. In a living body it is contracted to twelve tofourteen feet (12-14 ft).
Digestion begins in the oral cavity. Food enters the mouth and then
mastication takes place. Mastication begins the process of mechanical digestion, inwhich large food particles are broken down into smaller ones. The teeth crush or tear the food into small pieces. T he tongue , large muscular organ, moves food in themouth and, in cooperation with the lips and cheeks, holds the food in place duringmastication. It also plays a major role in the process of swallowing. The tongue is amajor sensory organ for taste, as well as being one of the major organs of speech.During chewing, much greater quantities of saliva are secreted by three pairs of extrinsic salivary glands , namely the parotid glands (located under the skin anterior to each earlobe), the submandibular glands (located under the base of the tongue),and the sublingual glands (located in the floor of the mouth). Saliva is a watery fluidcontaining several components including lysozyme, an enzyme that kills bacteria,and salivary amylase, an enzyme that begins the digestion of starch. Once the foodis chewed and softened in the mouth, the tongue rolls it into a ball or bolus and thenpushes the bolus to the throat to be swallowed.
As the food passes to the pharynx or throat, the epiglottis is tippedposteriorly so that the opening in the larynx is covered, preventing food from entering
the larynx. The food then passes into esophagus. Esophagus is a muscular tubeconnecting the mouth with the stomach. Like a stretchy pipe that's about 10 inches(25 centimeters) long. The esophagus moves the food to the stomach by a serious of muscular contractions called peristalsis. Peristalsis is the wavelike contraction of muscles that move food through the digestive system. This takes about 2 or 3seconds. The lower end of the esophagus, which passes through a hole in thediaphragm to meet the stomach within the abdominal cavity, has a lower esophageal(or cardiac) sphincter which briefly relaxes to allow the bolus of food to enter the
stomach.

As the food enters the stomach, muscle contractions begin to twist, turn, andchurn the food. The twisting, turning, and churning of food in the stomach are part of mechanical digestion . The stomach is a muscular sac that is located in the upper left portion of the abdominal cavity. The inner lining of the stomach wall containsmillions of tiny gastric glands that secrete gastric juice, which dissolves the food toform a thick liquid called chyme . Gastric juice contains several substances includinghydrochloric acid, intrinsic factor (which is essential for the intestinal absorption of vitamin B 12) and pepsinogen (an inactive protein -digesting enzyme). Thehydrochloric acid has several functions including destroying ingested bacteria, andconverting pepsinogen into its active form, pepsin, in order to initiate the digestion of protein.
At the lower end of the stomach is the pyloric sphincter, a valve through whichchyme must flow to enter the small intestine. Over a period of three to six hours,peristalsis moves chyme through the duodenum into the next portion of the smallintestine, the jejunum, and finally into the ileum, the last section of the smallintestine. The small intestine is a long, coiled organ about one inch in diameter. Thesmall intestine is 6 meters in length. It consists of three segments named theduodenum, jejunum and ileum.
During this time, the liver releases bile into the small intestine. The bile
enters the small intestine through the bile duct. The liver filters out harmfulsubstances or wastes, turning some of the waste into more bile. Bile prepares thefats for digestion; it helps to absorb fats into the bloodstream. And the gallbladder serves as a warehouse for bile, storing it until the body needs it. Pancreatic juice ,secreted by the pancreas , contains enzymes that break down sugars and starchesinto simple sugars, fats into fatty acids and glycerol, and proteins into amino acids.The pancreatic juice enters through pancreatic duct. The walls of the small intestinerelease enzymes that complete the digestion of all three basic nutrients. In the wallsof the small intestine are millions of small projections called villi . These villi increasethe small intestine capacity for absorption. Digested food is absorbed into theseblood vessels and carried to all body cells. Food may spend as long as 4 hours inthe small intestine and will become a very thin, watery mixture.\
A watery residue of indigestible food and digestive juices remainsunabsorbed. This residue leaves the ileum of the small intestine and moves byperistalsis into the large intestine , where it spends 12 to 24 hours. The largeintestine forms an inverted U over the coils of the small intestine. It starts on thelower right-hand side of the body and ends on the lower left-hand side. The largeintestine is 1.5 to 1.8 m (5 to 6 ft) long and about 6 cm (2.5 in) in diameter.The large intestine serves several important functions. It absorbs waterabout 6liters (1.6 gallons) dailyas well as dissolved salts from the residue passed onby the small intestine. In addition, bacteria in the large intestine promote thebreakdown of undigested materials and make several vitamins, notably vitamin K,which the body needs for blood clotting. The large intestine moves its remaining

contents toward the rectum, which makes up the final 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in) of thealimentary canal. The rectum stores the feceswaste material that consists largelyof undigested food, digestive juices, bacteria, and mucusuntil elimination. Then,muscle contractions in the walls of the rectum push the feces toward the anus .When sphincters between the rectum and anus relax, the feces pass out of the body.
