Slide 1-

Remember the structures of the digestive system
Slide 2-

The process of changing complex solid foods into simpler soluble forms which can be absorbed by body cells. BOLUS – soft, pliable ball – created from chewing and addition of saliva – it slides down esophagus PERISTALSIS – wavelike motions, moves food along esophagus, stomach and intestines DIGESTION
Slide 3-

Structures of the digestive system Digestive system Also known as: Alimentary Canal Digestive Tract Gastrointestinal Tract Upper GI Lower GI Over 30’ in length from mouth to anus 3
Slide 4-

Primary structures Mouth Esophagus Stomach Small intestines Large intestines Accessory structures Tongue Teeth Salivary glands Pancreas Liver Gall bladder 2.07 Remember the structures of the digestive system 4 Structures of the digestive system
Slide 5-

Structures of the digestive system Mouth (buccal cavity) Tongue Teeth Salivary Glands Palate Uvula The physical breakdown of food begins here first…digestion begins in the mouth 5
Slide 6-

Structures of the digestive system Tongue Attached to floor of mouth Made of skeletal muscle attached to four bones Taste buds on the surface Sweet Sour Bitter Salty 6
Slide 7-

Structures of the digestive system Teeth Primary (deciduous) 20 “baby teeth” Secondary (permanent) 32 “adult teeth” Teeth and tongue aid in physical / mechanical digestion of food 7 Did you know??? Canine teeth are also known as cuspids and eye teeth.
Slide 8-

Structures of the digestive system Salivary glands Parotid gland Largest salivary gland Ptyalin in saliva converts starches to simple sugars causes the initial chemical breakdown. Submandibular gland Sublingual gland 2.07 Remember the structures of the digestive system 8
Slide 9-

Structures of the digestive system Palate – separates the mouth from the nasal cavity Hard Soft Uvula Flap of skin hanging in the back of the throat 2.07 Remember the structures of the digestive system 9
Slide 10-

Structures of the digestive system Pharynx (throat) Nasopharynx Oropharynx Hypopharynx 2.07 Remember the structures of the digestive system 10
Slide 11-

Structures of the digestive system Esophagus Muscular tube, 10” long Connects the pharynx and stomach 11
Slide 12-

Structures of the digestive system Stomach Upper left quadrant of the of the abdominal cavity Fundus Body Pylorus 2.07 Remember the structures of the digestive system 12
Slide 13-

Cardiac sphincter - controls passage of food into stomach and keeps it from going back into the throat. PYLORIC SPHINCTER – valve, regulates the entrance of food into duodenum RUGAE – mucous coat lining of stomach in folds when the stomach is empty Stomach has muscular coat that allows it to contract (peristalsis) and push food into the small intestine 2 – 4 hours for stomach to empty

Slide 18-

Accessory Organs of Digestion PANCREAS Located behind stomach Exocrine function – secretes digestive enzymes to break down food. Also has endocrine function. Feather shaped organ
Slide 19-

Functions of the digestive system Liver Produce and store glucose in the form of GLYCOGEN Detoxify alcohol, drugs and other harmful substances Manufacture blood proteins Manufactures bile Store Vitamins A, D and B complex Connects to gall bladder and small intestine by ducts 19
Slide 20-

Functions of the digestive system Gallbladder Small muscular green sac that secretes and stores bile Located in the right upper quadrant of abdominal cavity. When fatty foods digested, bile released by gallbladder 20
Slide 21-

Functions of the digestive system Large intestine CHYME – semi-liquid food and gastric juices Approx 2” in diameter Also called the colon CECUM – lower right portion of large intestine APPENDIX-blind sac attached to cecum, having no known function RECTUM – last portion of large intestine ANUS – external opening of the Lg. intestine 21
Slide 22-

Slide 30-

Disorders of the digestive disorders Gastroenteritis Inflammation of mucous membrane lining of stomach and intestine Common cause = virus Sxs – nausea, vomiting, diarrhea for 24-36 hours Complication = dehydration Prevention…good handwashing 30
