The Digestive System

Break up, mix, and move food material
Secrete enzymes into tube where
digestion occurs
Digest (break down) food particles intosmaller molecules
Absorb nutrients and fluids Eliminate wastes and residues

A complete system with many
specialized organs
About 6.5 to 9 meters long if extended
Lined with mucus-secreting epithelium
Movement is one way, from mouth to
anus

Produced by salivary glands at back ofmouth and under tongue
Saliva includesSalivary amylase (enzyme)
Bicarbonate (buffer)
Mucins (bind food into bolus)
Water

Complex reflex
Tongue forces food into pharynx
Epiglottis and vocal cords close off
trachea; breathing temporarily ceases
Bolus moves into esophagus, then
through esophageal sphincter into
stomach

J-shaped organ lies
below the diaphragm
Sphincters at both ends

Secreted into lumen (gastric fluid)
Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
Mucus (protective) Pepsinogen (inactive form of a protein-
digesting enzyme)
Stomach cells also secrete the hormone
gastrin into the bloodstream
8/3/2019 ujali
11/41
A thick mixture of food
and gastric fluid
High acidity kills many
pathogens
Mixed and moved by
waves of stomach
contractions (peristalsis)
Figure 41.9bPa e 731
8/3/2019 ujali
12/41
High acidity of gastric fluid denatures
proteins and exposes peptide bonds
Pepsinogen secreted by stomach lining
is activated to pepsin by HCl
Pepsin breaks proteins into fragments
8/3/2019 ujali
13/41
An erosion of the wall of the stomachor small intestine
Can result from undersecretion ofmucus and buffers, or oversecretionof pepsin
Most ulcers involve Helicobacterpylori bacteria and can be treatedwith antibiotics

Movement into duodenum controlled
by pyloric sphincter
Only a small amount of chyme passes
through sphincter at a given time
Fat content of chyme affects the rate ofstomach emptying
8/3/2019 ujali
15/41
Wall of the duodenum secretes
Disaccharidases - digest
disaccharides to monosaccharides Peptidases - break protein fragments
down to amino acids
Nucleases - digest nucleotides downto nucleic acids andmonosaccharides

Secreted into duodenum
Pancreatic amylase
Trypsin and chymotrypsin
Carboxypeptidase
Lipase
Pancreatic nucleases
8/3/2019 ujali
17/41
Liver produces bile
Bile is stored in gallbladder, then
secreted into duodenum Bile emulsifies fats; breaks them into
small droplets
This gives enzymes a greater surfacearea to work on

Passage of molecules into internal
environment
Occurs mainly in jejunum and ileum ofsmall intestine
Segmentation mixes the lumen contents
against wall and enhances absorption

Monosaccharides &
amino acids are
actively transportedacross plasma

Slow movement of material through
colon allows growth of bacteria
Harmless--unless they escape into
abdominal cavity
Some produce vitamin K, which is
absorbed through intestinal wall
8/3/2019 ujali
27/41
During a meal, gastrin and autonomic
signals trigger contraction of ascending
and transverse colon
Material moves along to make room for
incoming food
Feces is stored in last part of colon
8/3/2019 ujali
28/41
Distension of the last part of the colon
triggers a reflex action
Smooth muscle of anal sphincter relaxes
Voluntary contraction of external
sphincter can prevent defecation

Appendicitis
Constipation
Colon cancerSymptoms include blood in feces
Can be caused by a genetic defect

Bodys main energy source
Foods high in complex carbohydrates
are usually high in fiber; promotecolon health
Simple sugars lack fiber as well as
minerals and vitamins of whole foods;intake should be minimized

Most fats can be synthesized
Essential fatty acids must be obtained
from food Fats should be about 30 percent of diet
Excess saturated fats can raise
cholesterol level and contribute to heartdisease
