What are the functions of the digestive system?
1. Ingest food2. Digest food3. Absorb nutrients4. Eliminate solid waste

What are the two forms of digestion?Mechanical
● Physically changing the size of the food.● Teeth grind food into smaller pieces.● Stomach churns food to mix it.
Chemical● Breaking down polymers into smaller pieces. ● Example= an enzyme digesting starch

What is the gastrointestinal tract?Hollow series of organs that food passes through.
● Also known as the “alimentary canal”
● “GI Tract”● In adults, approximately
8 meters long.

Where does digestion begin?● The Mouth!
○ Chewing is a form of mechanical digestion that increases the surface area of food.
○ The tongue rolls food into a ball.○ Once it is swallowed it is called a
bolus.○ Enzymes in saliva start the process
of chemical digestion.

What enzyme starts digestion?● Saliva contains amylase.
● Amylase works on○ carbohydrate starches○ breaks down simple sugars

Where does food go after the mouth?
● Epiglottis○ Thin flap of tissue that
prevents food from entering the airway (trachea) during swallowing.

How does food move through the digestive system?● Esophagus
○ Tube that attaches the throat to the stomach.
○ Moves food using a wave like motion of involuntary muscle contractions called peristalsis.

● Stomach○ Made of several layers of smooth
muscle.○ Churns and mixes food (mechanical
digestion) with enzymes (chemical digestion.
○ Produces mucus to protect the stomach from digesting itself.
What role does the stomach play in digestion?
![Page 10: metabolism. Explain the importance of enzymes to …msschmidly.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/2/0/26201624/digestion_and_the... · “alimentary canal ... carbohydrate starches ... Chyme](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030520/5ac734cd7f8b9a5d718b9719/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
○ Produces gastric juice■ Hydrochloric acid (HCl) + pepsin■ Pepsin = an enzyme that breaks
down proteins into polypeptide strands.
○ Pepsin needs an acidic environment. ■ Stomach acid provides acidic
environments that allows powerful enzymes to do their work! ● Enzymes digest food, not the stomach
acid!!

Stomach Fun Facts ○ The stomach can be stretched to hold about 2 liters of
food!○ Light meals can be emptied from stomach in 2 hours.○ Heavy meals can take up to 6 hours. ○ Forensic pathologists will often examine the stomach
contents of a deceased person in an attempt to pinpoint time of death.

○ Chyme is a paste-like substance containing partially broken down food and gastric juice.
○ Peristalsis forces chyme out of the stomach and into the small intestine.
○ The first 25 cm of the small intestine is called the duodenum.
What do we call food as it leaves the stomach?
![Page 13: metabolism. Explain the importance of enzymes to …msschmidly.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/2/0/26201624/digestion_and_the... · “alimentary canal ... carbohydrate starches ... Chyme](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030520/5ac734cd7f8b9a5d718b9719/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
○ The small intestine is 2.5 cm wide and 6 m long! ○ Peristalsis continues to squeeze food through. ○ Most chemical digestion and all absorption of nutreints
occurs here!○ Enzymes continue to break down polymers into monomers
which are small enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
What role does the small intestine play in digestion?
![Page 14: metabolism. Explain the importance of enzymes to …msschmidly.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/2/0/26201624/digestion_and_the... · “alimentary canal ... carbohydrate starches ... Chyme](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022030520/5ac734cd7f8b9a5d718b9719/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
○ 4-8 hours in the small intestine.○ Most nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine and then
carried by blood vessels to the liver, where any toxins are removed before nutrients are distributed through the rest of the body.

○ The wall of the small intestine is covered with villi - small, finger-like structures that increase the surface area of the small intestine, along which nutrients are absorbed.
How does the small intestine absorb nutrients?

○ The blood carries monomers to all body cells. ■ Monosaccharides
● immediate energy
■ Glycerol & Fatty Acids● building cell membranes and energy storage
■ Amino Acids● building proteins
What happens to the monomers once they are absorbed into the bloodstream?

○ 6.5 cm wide and 1.5 m long○ Borders the small intestine○ Receives all indigestible matter
from the small intestine○ Absorbs water, returning it to
the bloodstream○ Solid waste is called feces
What role does the large intestine play in digestion?

○ End of gastrointestinal tract, extending from the large intestine.
○ Rectum stores feces until peristalsis eliminates it through the anus.
What role does the rectum and anus play in digestion?

○ Up to half of the weight of feces can be bacteria- living or dead - and their waste products.
○ Your body contains 3-5 pounds of bacteria ■ Most bacteria is found in the
colon

Salivary Glands● Located under the tongue and lower
jaw● Produce and secrete saliva
○ Saliva = water + mucus + salivary amylase■ Salivary amylase = enzyme that breaks
down starch into monosaccharides

Salivary Glands● Saliva also lubricates
chewed food for passage into the esophagus, raises the pH of the mouth slightly to neutralize acidic secretions of bacteria that cause cavities.

Liver● Stores excess glucose as glycogen.● Produces bile: a chemical that breaks down
lipid globules into smaller droplets. ○ Bile also neutralizes stomach acid as it passes
through the duodenum.

Pancreas● Blood sugar increases after a meal:
○ Pancreas release insulin○ Insulin promotes glucose uptake in body cells○ Insulin promotes storage of excess glucose in liver
as glycogen● Blood sugar decrease in between meals:

liver into the blood.

Digestion = Is the breakdown of food into smaller components that can be easily absorbed and used by the body.
Metabolism= The combination of chemical reactions through which an organism builds up or breaks down materials.
What is the difference between metabolism and digestion?

● Metabolic reactions can be divided into two main groups:○ Anabolism
■ Involves the synthesis of complex molecules.○ Catabolism
■ Involves the breakdown of complex molecules.
How do enzymes play a role in metabolism?
