General structure • Gastrointestinal tract (tube) • Mucosa: inner layer (epithelial) • Submucosa: connective • Muscularis: 2 layers of muscle • Serosa: outer layer (connective) • Plexues: nerves located in the submucosa
Digestive organs • Mouth • Pharynx • Esophagus • Stomach • Small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) • Large intestine (cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid, rectum, anus)
Digestive organs • Accessory organs • Liver • Gallbladder • Pancreas
Digestion • Mouth • Teeth • Gizzard (in birds to help grind food) • Salivary glands • Secrete saliva • Amylase (enzyme to breakdown starch)
Digestion • Chew or mastication • Tongue pushes food • Pharynx • Epiglottis closes • Esophagus
Esophagus • Esophagus • Muscular tube • Connects pharynx to stomach • Peristalsis: • Rhythmic movement of muscle contractions • Moves food along • Esophageal sphincter: • End of esophagus keeps food in stomach
Stomach • Mucosa lining (epithelial) • Parietal cells • Secrete H + Cl ions • Chief cells • Secrete pepsinogen • Pepsinogen is converted to pepsin • Digests proteins
Stomach • Gastric juices: • HCl, pepsinogen & mucus pH=2 • Chyme: • Mixture of partially digested food
Small intestine • Chyme • Leaves stomach via pyloric sphincter • Duodenum • Digestive enzymes from pancreas • Bile from liver & gallbladder • Most digestion occurs in the duodenum & jejunum
Small intestines • Villi along intestine epithelium • Microvilli • “brush border” • Aids in absorption • Secretes enzymes • Break disaccharides (sucrose, lactose)
Accessory organs • Pancreas • Secretes fluids via pancreatic duct • Exocrine system • Trypsin & chymotrypsin (proteases) • Amylase (starch) • Lipase (fats) • Bicarbonate (neutralizes HCl) • Endocrine (insulin and glucagon)
Accessory organs • Liver • Secretes bile • Contains bile pigments & bile salts • Bile pigments are waste from break down of RBC • Eliminated
Accessory organs • Bile salts • Emulsify the fats • Bile made in liver • Stored in gall bladder • Released when eat fatty meal • Gallstones can block release
Smallintestines • Monosaccharides, aa are transported to the blood capillaries • Hepatic portal vein • Liver • Heart • Transported to body
Smallintestines • Fatty acids & monoglycerides • Villi • Triglycerides • Chylomicrons: (triglyceride & protein coat) • Lymph system

Large intestines • Absorbs water • Absorbs vitamin K • Concentrates wastes • E. coli • Feces • Cloaca • Combines feces & urine wastes in some animals
Food • BMR • Basal metabolic rate • Obesity • Heart disease, diabetes, stroke • Anorexia, Bulimia
Essential nutrients • Essential aa • Minerals • Vitamins • A, B-complex, C, D, E, K • Scurvy, rickets, pernicious anemia, bleeding
Abnormalities • Ulcers • H. pylori • Bacteria • Treated with antibiotics • Reflux: • Gastric juices go backwards to esophagus
