Accessory/ Helper organs Organs that help the digestive system Help by producing digestive juices that contain enzymes Food DOES NOT pass through these organs
Salivary Glands • Several of glands that secrete saliva into the oral cavity • Saliva contains water, mucus, and enzyme amylase. • Functions: cleansing action on the teeth. • moistens & lubricates food • begins the chemicaldigestion of starches (amylase)
Liver Stomach Gall bladder Duodenum Pancreas
Liver is: • Largest internal organ • Produces bile • Bile then travels to the gall bladder.
BILE Function of bile Emulsification of fat when bile breaks down fats into smaller droplets Big fat droplet
Function: • Stores bile • Sends bile to the small intestine through a duct (tube)
Function: • Secretes (releases) pancreatic juice into the small intestine • Pancreatic juices Consists of enzymes that break down 3 main nutrients proteins, fats, & carbs
Tiny fingerlike projections (folds) on lining of small intestine
The villi contain blood vessels for absorption of nutrients into bloodstream
Digested nutrients move (are absorbed) into the bloodstream By diffusion
Role in digestive process: • Increases surface area for nutrient absorption (allows the small intestine to absorb more nutrients) LAB activity
Topic: Nutrition Aim: How can the digestive system malfunction? Hw: textbook pg 534 1-10 21,25 pgs. 536 2-6,10,13-15,22 pg562 1-17,20-22,24 The process is called Digestion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6gChlcBDmQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58YNYqN6lko
Diarrhea When too little water is absorbed from the Large Intestine
Can lead to dehydration Treatment: If dehydration occurs drink water Medication
Constipation Feces moves too slow through large intestine because too much water is absorbed out of the large intestine
Treatment: Drink more water Eat more roughage/fiber Laxatives
Appendicitis Infected appendix that must be removed
Build up of the left over bile that hardens over time into stone-like formations Gall stones
Could interfere with transport of liquified bile to the small intestine Causes pain/discomfort Treatment: Removal by surgery
Hole in the lining of the small intestine or stomach.Cause not definiteStress is contributing factor ULCER
What is vomit? It’s the mushed up, half digested food from you stomach, mucus, saliva, acids, and other chemicals that help digest food. For whatever reason, the muscles in your abdomen contract and squeeze down on the stomach, then the valve between your stomach and your esophagus opens, and the stuff in your stomach starts to rise up.
Did you know.... • An adult esophagus (also called gullet) ranges from 10 to 14 inches in length, and 1 inch in diameter • We make 1 to 3 pints of saliva a day • An adults stomach can hold approximately 1.5 liters of material • Food sloshing in the stomach can last 3-4 hours • The stomach's wall is lined with three layers of powerful muscles
Did you know.... • The Average human being consumes about 500kg of food per year. • Within the colon, a typical person harbors more than 400 distinct species of bacteria • On average, the stomach produces 2 liters of Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) daily
Did you know.... • A full grown horse’s coiled up intestines are 89 feet long • Food stays in your stomach for 2 to 3 hours • Americans eat about 700 million pounds of peanut butter. • Americans eat over 2 billion pounds of chocolate a year. • In your lifetime, your digestive system may handle about 50 tons!!
Did you know.... • What you ate for breakfast, that was not digested will come out in about 48 hours-normally. • From intake to outlet, the digestive tract is about thirty feet long
