Chapter 26 Digestive System Part 1 Overview, Mouth, Esophagus

Functions of the digestive system • Ingestion • Digestion = breakdown of food into small structures and molecules • Mechanical digestion = physical breakdown by teeth, tongue, muscles • Chemical digestion = breakdown using enzymes • Propulsion • Secretion = production and release of mucin and fluids to aid digestion • Absorption = movement of electrolytes, fats, proteins, vitamins, water across GI tract into blood and lymph vessels • Elimination = get rid of waste

Categories: Digestive organs • Make up gastrointestinal (GI) tract (AKA digestive tract or alimentary canal) • • oral cavity pharynx esophagus stomach small intestine large intestine anus Gastrointestinal Tract (Digestive Organs) Oral cavity Pharynx Esophagus Stomach Large intestine Small intestine Anus

Fig. 26. 1 Accessory Digestive Organs Parotid salivary gland Teeth Tongue Sublingual salivary gland Submandibular salivary gland Liver Gallbladder Pancreas Categories: Accessory digestive organs • Not part of GI tube • Develop as outgrowths; connected to GI tube • Assist in digestion • • • salivary glands teeth and tongue liver gallbladder pancreas

Movement within GI tract Fig. 26. 2 Wave of contraction Wall of GI tract Lumen • Peristalsis = rhythmic formation of ripples along tube • moves material forward • like squeezing a toothpaste tube from the bottom Relaxation Bolus (a) Peristalsis

Movement within GI tract • Segmentation = rhythmic churning and mixing of material Mixing • squeezes at multiple locations simultaneously • moves material back and forth, mixing and breaking into smaller pieces Further mixing (b) Segmentation
