MENU OF THE DAY

Explore the functions of the alimentary canal and associated organs, such as the mouth, stomach, pancreas, and more, in relation to the process of digestion. Learn about the importance of digestive enzymes like amylase, protease, and lipase. Understand how food is ingested, digested, absorbed, assimilated, and egested in the body for nutrition. Discover the vital role of the alimentary canal and its accessory organs in the process of holozoic nutrition.

Presentation Transcript

  1. MENU OF THE DAY • Describe the functions of main regions of the alimentary canal and the associated organs: mouth, salivary glands, oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, pancreas, gall bladder, liver, ileum, colon, rectum, anus, in relation to ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and egestion of food, as appropriate. • Functions of a typical amylase, protease and lipase (listing the substrate and end-products)

  2. Nutrition in animals

  3. How does…..

  4. “ You are what you eat.”- Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

  5. Holozoic nutrition • Holozoic nutrition: feeding on ready-made complex organic matter.

  6. What is Nutrition? • The taking in of food (chemical energy) by the body & converting it into living matter

  7. 5 processes in digestion INGESTION Taking in food Breakdown of complex food substances into smaller soluble food substances DIGESTION ABSORPTION Digested food is absorbed Into body cells Absorbed food is use to provide energy or form new protoplasm ASSIMILATION EGESTION Removal of undigested food

  8. Feeding/ Ingestion • Feeding/ Ingestion – intake of food into the mouth.

  9. Digestion • Digestion – large food molecules are broken down into small, soluble and diffusible molecules. • 2 types: Physical and chemical digestions

  10. 2 types of digestions • Physical digestion refers to the mechanical break up of food into small particles which increases its surface area for chemical digestion. (E.g. Chewing, stomach churning). It also mix the digestive enzymes with the food particles

  11. 2 types of digestions • Chemical digestions – breaking of biomolecules like proteins, starch and fats into small soluble molecules which can be absorbed by the cells. It involves digestive enzymes and chemical reactions like hyrolysis.

  12. Why must food molecules be broken down into smaller, simpler forms before it can be absorbed by the cells for other uses? Cell membranes are partially permeable and only allow small molecules to pass through.

  13. Absorption • Absorption – digested food materials are taken into the body cells.

  14. Assimilation • Assimilation – absorbed food materials are converted into new protoplasm or used to provide energy.

  15. Egestion • Egestion – elimination of undigested food materials (faeces) Do not confuse Ingestion with Egestion!!!

  16. Digestive enzymes AMYLASE Starch maltose PROTEASE Proteins amino acids LIPASE Lipids/ Fats fatty acids & glycerol

  17. Alimentary canal

  18. The Digestive System Consists of: 1) The gut or alimentary canal (9 m) from mouth to anus. 2) Glands (A cell, tissue, or organ that secretes a chemical substance). 3) Associated organs.

  19. The Alimentary Canal

  20. Mouth & Buccal Cavity

  21. The Mouth & Buccal Cavity Buccal Cavity

  22. The Mouth & Buccal Cavity Food enters through the mouth. This process is called ingestion. Teeth cuts food into small pieces. This increases surface area to volume ratio for enzyme to act more efficiently.

  23. The Mouth & Buccal Cavity Salivary glands produce saliva to moisten food. Saliva also contains salivary amylase to break down starch to maltose. pH of saliva is neutral (around pH 7).

  24. The Mouth & Buccal Cavity Salivary Glands

  25. The Mouth & Buccal Cavity Salivary Amylase Starch Maltose Salivary amylase is active at pH 7.

  26. The Mouth & Buccal Cavity Tongue rolls food into boli. Food is swallowed and enters the pharynx.

  27. mouth pharynx oesophagus stomach small intestine large intestine anus Human Alimentary Canal • Made up of a tubular gut called the alimentary canal. • Food travels through our body along the alimentary canal which is a continuous tube beginning at the mouth and ending at the anus. • The parts of the gut includes: mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and anus. Rectum

  28. The Alimentary Canal & Associated Organs • Mouth & salivary glands • Pharynx, Oesophagus • Stomach • Small intestine- duodenum & ileum • Associated organs-liver, gall bladder, pancreas • Large intestine- colon, rectum • Anus

  29. mouth pharynx oesophagus stomach duodenum colon/ large intestine anus Alimentary Canal & Associated Organs salivary gland liver gall bladder pancreas jejunum ileum rectum

  30. What we learn today. • Nutrition (Definition) • 5 Processes of Nutrition • Digestive Enzymes • Alimentary Canal • Alimentary Canal & Accessory Organs
