How is food digested? Digestion involves: • Physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces • The physical mixing of food • Movement through the digestive tract • Chemical breakdown of the large molecules of food into smaller molecules • Absorption of those molecules into the body
Describe the digestive system • The digestive tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a tube from the mouth to the anus. Food passes through the digestive tract. • Accessory organs include the liver, gall bladder, and pancreas. Food doesnot pass through these organs.
Today’s Starter Assignment • Color and label digestive tract worksheet • Use map colors and textbook-Chapter 16; Section 2 • Cut-out and paste intolab-book whencomplete.
Digestive Tract Mouth • Teeth bite off and chew food into a soft pulp that is easy to swallow. • Chewing mixes the food with saliva, from salivary glands in the mouth, to make it moist and easy to swallow.
Digestive Tract Mouth • Enzymes in the saliva begin digestion of food
Digestive Tract Esophagus • The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the mouth/throat to the stomach • It moves food by waves of muscle contraction called peristalsis.
Digestive Tract Stomach • The stomach has thick muscles in its wall. These contract to mash the food into a watery soup called chyme.
Digestive Tract Stomach • The stomach lining produces strong digestive juices, including acids like HCL that break down and dissolve the food.
Digestive Tract Small Intestine • This part of the digestive tract is narrow, but very long- about 20 feet. • Villi- small finger-like protrusions absorb nutrients
Digestive Tract Small Intestine • The nutrients are broken down small enough to pass through the lining of the small intestine, and into the blood… (absorption).
Digestive Tract Large Intestine • Useful substances, such as spare water and needed minerals, are absorbed through the walls of the large intestine, back into the blood.
Digestive Tract Large Intestine • The remains are formed into brown, semi-solid feces, ready to be removed from the body
Digestive Tract Rectum and Anus • The end of the large intestine, the rectum, stores the feces. • Feces are finally squeezed through a ring of muscle, the anus, and out of the body.
Accessory Organs Pancreas • The pancreas, like the stomach, makes digestive juices called enzymes which help to digest food.
Accessory Organs Gall Bladder • A small bag-like organ under the liver. • It stores a fluid called bile, which is made in the liver. Bile helps digest fats.
Accessory Organs Liver • Your blood carries nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and other products from digestion to the liver.
Accessory Organs Liver • The liver is like a food-processing factory with more than 200 different jobs! It stores some nutrients, changes them from one form to another, and releases them into the blood as needed.
