DIGESTIVE SYSTEM- Soely Collazo Period 5 - Coggle Diagram
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM- Soely Collazo Period 5
FUNCTIONS
absorption of food
digestion of food
Mechanical digestion
does not alter chemical composition
Physical breaking of large food pieces into smaller pieces
mastication- chewing movement
segmentation- mixing movement
peristalsis- wave move (esophagus/ intestine)
Chemical digestion
Breaks food into simpler chemicals that can be absorbed by cells in the body
works with help of enzyme
saliva in mouth
gastric juices in stomach\
ALIMENTARY CANAL
Mouth
Functions
Chews and lubricates food with saliva
Moves food to pharynx
Opening for food
Structures
lips
tongue
palate
uvula
salivary glands
Pharynx
Passageway for food (and air) from mouth to esophagus
Swallowed food passes from oropharynx into laryngopharynx
Esophagus
Connects pharynx to stomach
Passageway only for food
Moves food (bolus)by peristalsis
Connects to stomach at lower esophageal (cardiac) sphincter
Stomach
Parts
Cardia and Fundus
Enlarged opening next to esophagus
Temperature
Body
Central main part
Pylorus
Lower narrow section
Inside lined with rugae
15 and 25 contraction/min
Structure
Thick (means) membrane
About the size of a large sausage
J shaped, muscular organ
When empty, it can hold about 1Lt.
Function
Mixing and holding chamber
Glands secrete gastric juices: HCI, pepsin, intrinsic factor
Forms chyme from food
Food exits through pyloric sphincter
Small intestine
Characteristics
Tube approx 7m
2cm in diameter
Fills most of the abdominal cavity
Connects stomach to large intestine
Functions
Chemical digestion
Intestinal glands secrete intestinal juices
Absorption
Of water and nutrients
Villi and microvilli- increase surface area for absorption
Lacteals-lymphatic capillaries
Peptidases reduce peptides to amino acids
Sucrase reduce sucrose to glucose and fructose
Mechanical digestion
Chyme+ secretions from pancreas and liver+ intestinal juices
Segmentation and peristalsis
Sections
Jejunum
Absorption
Circular folds to increase surface area
Ilium
Absorbs vitamin and bile salts
Ileocecal sphincter (valve) joins small intestine to large intestine's cecum
Duodenum
Chem. digestion
Liver-bile-fats
Most "fixed" in place
Pancreas- pancreatic juices
Large intestine
Structures
Separated from small intestine by ileocecal valve
Slow movement
1.5m (5ft) long, wider diameter than 5m
Function
Digestion by bacteria
Absorption of water and salt (electrolytes)
Form, stores, eliminate feces
Break down remaining proteins to amino acids
Subdivisions
Cecum
Ascending colon
Transverse colon
Descending colon
Sigmoid colon
Rectum
Anal canal
WALLS
Submucosa
Areolar connective tissue containing major blood vessel
Many elastic fibers to retain shape
Glands and lymphatic tissue
Muscularis layer
Muscle layer
Two layers of smooth muscles to allow peristalsis and segmentation
Mucosa
Produces mucus for reduction or friction and proteins
epithelium
Muscularis mucosae
Lamina propia
Serosa
Outer covering of the GI tract
Attaches the digestive tract to the wall of the abdominopelvic cavity by performing folds called mesenteries
DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
Carbohydrates
polysaccharides
disaccharides
monosaccharides
amylase-poly-di
disaccharides
maltase-glucose
lactase-glucose and galactose
glucose and fructose
DNA/RNA
Nucleic acid-nucleotides
Nuclease-nucleotides
Proteins
pepsin-protein-peptide
proteins-peptides-amino acids
protease-peptide-amino acids
LIPIDS
Fats-fatty acids
lipase-fatty acids and glycerol
ACCESORY ORGANS
Teeth
Functions
Masticate food into smaller pieces
Mechanical breakdown of food
Structures
Incisors
Canines
Premolars
Molars
Liver
Characteristics
Largest internal organ, party surrounded by ribs
Four lobes with gallbladder (bile storage sac)
Functions
Stores glycogen, iron, vitamin, A, D, B12
Helps maintain concentration of blood glucose levels, metabolizes, proteins
Responsible for many metabolic activities
Removes toxic substances from blood
Filters blood
Gallbladder
Diseases
Jaundice
Hepatitis
Cirrhosis
Stores excess bile for live
Functions
Concentrates and stores bile produced in the liver
Release bile into small intestine (duodenum)
Pancreas
Functions
Secretes pancreatic juice into duodenum
Enzymes to digest all 4 nutrients
Protease-protein
Trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, proteins
Lipase- lipids
Amylase-carbohydrates
Nuclease-nucleic acids
Location
Located behind stomach
Closely associated with small intestines
DISORDERS
Gastritis
acute or chronic inflammation of the stomach lining
It can be caused by drinking too much alcohol, eating spicy foods, or smoking.
Acid blockers reduce the amount of acid released into your digestive tract, which relieves gastritis pain and encourages healing.
Appendicitis
If it ruptures, bacteria can spread to peritoneal cavity, causing peritonitis
Symps-RLQ pain, rebound tenderness, fever, nausea and vomiting
When appendix becomes inflamed
Gallstones
Small ones may pass on their own, large ones are surgically removed
Surgical removal of the gallbladder=cholecystectomy
Can block bile duct causing pain and digestive disorders
