Functions of the Digestive System
1. Digestion (mechanical & chemical)
2. Secretion
3. Absorption
4. Motility
5. Excretion

Stomach
• J-shaped organ
• Storage
• Digestion
• Production of chyme
Gastric Glands
Accessory Structures Pancreas
In addition to regulation of blood glucose, the pancreas also has a role in digestion through the secretion of 4 classes of digestive enzymes:
1. amylase
2. proteolytic
3. lipase
4. nucleases

Liver & Gall bladder
Liver produces bile
Gall bladder stores
bile
Bile – mixture of
ions, cholesterol,
bile pigments, bile
salts, and water
Fat emulsification
• Bile salts become incorporated into fat droplets, and in combination with intestinal motility break down the fat droplet into smaller droplets.
Gall Stones
