  1. The Alimentary Canal & Cellulose Didas & TK

  2. Alimentary Canal/ Digestive Tract • Mouth • Pharynx • Esophagus • Stomach • Small & Large Intestines

  3. Mouth • Food is taken in • Grinded by teeth • Mixed with saliva • Comes from 3 large glands • Parotid • Submaxillary • Sublingual

  4. Parotid • Under lower jaw and has a duct that goes to the mouth allowing for saliva to be produced • Along with that, the mucous membrane secretes mucus which mixes with this saliva • Lines the mouth • Saliva converts starch and such into sugars necessary for the body • Ptylin does this

  5. Pharynx • Food passes through the pharynx • Like a muscular membrane behind the nose and mouth which helps process food • Muscle contractions occur • Food is pushed down into/through the esophagus

  6. Stomach • After food passes through the esophagus by mucus and muscle contractions it enters the stomach • cardiac orfice • Strong gastric juices mix with the mucus and muscle contractions help fully digest and dissolve food • 2-4 hours

  7. Intestines • From stomach the food is further digested here and then goes through to the duodenum • Then fluids flow through the pancreatic duct • Urination • And solids flow through the bile duct • Wastes

  8. Miscellaneous • 30 feet long in humans • Imagine that you put one end of a hose in your mouth and kept threading it through until it came out of your butt. That's more or less what the alimentary canal is.
