Digestive System Chapter 14 ACCESSORY ORGANS: Mouth • Teeth chew food • Tongue positions and tastes food Salivary glands • Saliva moistens food • Bicarbonate maintains p. H • Amylase digests starch • Lysozyme inhibits bacteria Liver • Produces bile • Performs various functions associated with processing and storing nutrients Gallbladder • Stores and concentrates bile Pancreas • Secretes digestive enzymes into small intestine • Secretes bicarbonate into small intestine to neutralize stomach acid Appendix • No known digestive function Pharynx • Passageway for food and air • Participates in swallowing Esophagus • Moves food from pharynx to stomach Stomach • Stores and mixes food • Begins chemical digestion of protein by enzymes and acid • Regulates delivery to the small intestine Small intestine • Digests proteins, fats, and carbohydrates • Absorbs most of the water and nutrients • Secretes digestive hormones and enzymes Large intestine • Absorbs the last of the water and nutrients • Stores waste material Sigmoid colon • Stores feces Rectum • Passageway for feces Anus • Expels undigested material Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 14. 1

Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract Wall Vein Artery Nerve Lymph vessel Serosa • Connective tissue outer covering • Protects and anchors the digestive tract Longitudinal layer Circular layer Lumen Mucosa • Mucous membrane layer • Lines the digestive tract Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Muscularis • Two layers of smooth muscle • Responsible for motility of the digestive tract Submucosa • Connective tissue layer • Contains blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves Figure 14. 2

Stomach Function § Specific cells secrete gastric juice § Hydrochloric acid § Produces a p. H of about 2; breaks down large bits of food § Mucus § Protects stomach lining from acid § Pepsinogen § With acid, begins protein breakdown as pepsin Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Small Intestine § Functions § Digestion § Neutralizes acid from stomach § Adds digestive enzymes and bile § Breaks proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids to absorbable materials § Absorption § 95% of food absorbed in small intestine Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Accessory Organs: Aid Digestion and Absorption Liver • Produces bile (water and electrolytes, cholesterol, bile salts, lecithin, and pigments) Esophagus Stomach Common bile duct Gallbladder • Stores and concentrates bile • Delivers bile to the duodenum via the common bile duct Duodenum Copyright © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Pancreatic duct Pancreas • Secretes enzymes (proteases, amylase, lipase) • Produces sodium bicarbonate • Delivers these products to the duodenum via ducts Figure 14. 10
