Digestive and Urinary System Jasmin Montoya p.3
Major functions of the digestive system
ingestion
Food entering your GI tract
propulsion
Food being pushed down the GI tract
mechanical breakdown
Food being broken down physically
chemical digestion
Food being broken down chemically
absorption
Collecting nutrients or fluid from food and implementing it into the body
elimination
Food being expelled from the body as waste
Major organs of the digestive system
mouth
Receive food through ingestion
esophagus
Help food and liquid get to the stomach from the mouth
stomach
Stores and digests food
pancreas
Makes enzymes to help digest food
liver
Absorbs nutrients into the body from the small intestine
gallbladder
Stores Bile
small intestine
Helps to digest food more than in the stomach
large intestine
Absorbs all liquid out of chyme
anus
Detect substances in rectum and let stool out when ready
Major functions of the urinary system
Eliminates waste from the body
Filtration and regulation of blood
Regulation of water and Ph levels
Major organs of the urinary systems
kidneys
Removes waste and combines it with extra water to make urine
renal pelvis
Collects urine once its created
ureters
Carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder
bladder
Expands to store urine and contracts to expel it
urethra
Tube allowing for urine to pass outside of the body
Digestive enzymes (including names and functions)
Amylase
Breaks down Carbohydrates
Maltase
Breaks down malt sugar
Lactase
Breaks down lactose sugar
Lipase
Breaks down fats
Proteases
Breaks down protiens
Sucrase
Breaks down sucrose
Location of digestion and absorption of each macromolecule
Fat digestion
Digested in the Stomach and absorbed through the small intestine
Protein Digestion
Digested in the Stomach and absorbed in small intestine
Nucleic Acid Digestion
Digested and absorbed in the small intestine
Carbohydrate Digestion
Both digested and absorbed in the small intestine
Layers of the GI tract (including stomach)
Mucosa
submucosa
muscularis
serosa
Disorders of the digestive and urinary systems
Bladder Cancer
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
Kidney stones
Peptic Ulcers
Colon diseases
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Cholecystitis
Nephron anatomy and physiology
Renal tubule
Bowman’s capsule
Encloses microscopic blood vessels
Glomerulus.
A cluster of small blood vessels located in the Bowman's capsule
Renal Corpuscle
Proximal convoluted tubule
Confined to the cortex and increases surface area
Nephron loop
Performs osmosis and transports some minerals
Distal convoluted tubule
