The Digestive System
• Alimentary canal or GI tract – Extends from mouth to anus—9 m (29 feet)
– Involved in digestion, absorption and metabolism of nutrients
• System includes main and accessory organs – Main organs: mouth, pharynx, esophagus,
stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anal canal
– Accessory organs: teeth and tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and vermiform appendix

Disorders of the Large Intestine
• Disorders of the large intestine often relate to abnormal motility (rate of movement of contents) – Diarrhea—results from abnormally increased
intestinal motility; may result in dehydration or convulsions
– Constipation—results from decreased intestinal motility
– Diverticulitis (inflammation of abnormal outpouchings called diverticula)—may cause constipation

Appendix and Appendicitis
• Vermiform appendix is blind tube attached directly to cecum; no important digestive function in humans
• Appendicitis—inflammation or infection of appendix – If appendix ruptures, infectious material may
spread to other organs
– Most common acute abdominal condition requiring surgery
– Affects 7% to 12% of population younger than 30 years

Digestion
• Definition—process that transforms food into a
form that can be absorbed and used by cells
– Mechanical digestion—chewing, swallowing, and
peristalsis break food into tiny particles, mix them
well with digestive juices, and move them along the
digestive tract
– Chemical digestion—breaks up large food molecules
into compounds having smaller molecules; brought
about by digestive enzymes

Digestion
• Carbohydrate digestion—mainly in
small intestine
– Pancreatic amylase—changes starches to
maltose
– Intestinal juice enzymes
• Maltase—changes maltose to glucose
• Sucrase—changes sucrose to glucose
• Lactase—changes lactose to glucose

Digestion
• Protein digestion—starts in stomach;
completed in small intestine
– Gastric juice enzymes, rennin and pepsin,
partially digest proteins
– Pancreatic enzyme, trypsin, completes
digestion of proteins to amino acids
– Intestinal enzymes, peptidases, complete
digestion of partially digested proteins to
amino acids

Digestion
• Fat digestion
– Bile contains no enzymes but emulsifies
fats (breaks fat droplets into very small
droplets)
– Pancreatic lipase changes emulsified fats
to fatty acids and glycerol in small intestine

Absorption
• Definition—digested food moves from
intestine into blood or lymph
• Absorption site—foods and most water
are absorbed from small intestine; some
water also absorbed from large intestine
