Digestive System Organs of the digestive system – GI Tract Organs mouth, pharynx, esophagus,

Digestive System Organs of the digestive system – GI Tract Organs mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine GI tract also called the alimentary canal, digestive tract or gut – Accessory Digestive Organs teeth, tongue, salivary glands, gall bladder, liver, pancreas

Gastrointestinal Mucosa moist covering and lining membrane lining the inside of the GI tract

Gastrointestinal Mucosa moist covering and lining membrane lining the inside of the GI tract absorbs nutrients- aided by large surface area due to villi and microvilli esp. in sm. intestine secretes mucin —> mucous for lubrication, protection protects- mucosal immune functions (MALT) gastric mucosa has specialized secretory cells

Digestive System Gastrointestinal Tract Activities/Processes 1. Ingestion-intake of food 2. Propulsion-movement of food through

Digestive System Gastrointestinal Tract Activities/Processes 1. Ingestion-intake of food 2. Propulsion-movement of food through the GI tract Peristalsis-alternative contraction and relaxation of adjacent sections of the alimentary tract resulting in food propulsion 3. Mechanical digestion-chewing, mixing, stomach churning, segmentation Segmentation-alternative contraction and relaxation of nonadjacent sections of the alimentary tract, resulting in mixing of food 4. Chemical digestion-catabolic steps which break down complex molecules to monomers or fragments which can be absorbed by the GI tract 5. Absorption uptake of nutrients from the lumen of the GI tract into blood or lymph via passive and active transport 6. Defecation- elimination of indigestible substances from the body

The small intestine duodenum, jejunum, ileum • Digestion is completed and most absorption occurs

The small intestine duodenum, jejunum, ileum • Digestion is completed and most absorption occurs here – Villi-fingerlike projections containing underlying: • Capillary bed- Absorbs most nutrients and water soluble drugs and some lipophilic drugs • Lymphatic capillary (lacteal)- Absorbs fats and highly lipophilic drugs

Accessory Digestive Organs: Liver, Gall Bladder, Pancreas 1. Liver-largest gland in the body located

Accessory Digestive Organs: Liver, Gall Bladder, Pancreas 1. Liver-largest gland in the body located below the diaphragm-has numerous function in GI tract processes-production of bile, a yellow-green alkaline fluid containing bile salts that is released into the small intestine (duodenum) via the bile duct; main function of bile →is to emulsify fats

Liver Functions • • carbohydrate metabolism/storage detoxification serum protein production hormone inactivation protein metabolism/urea

Liver Functions • • carbohydrate metabolism/storage detoxification serum protein production hormone inactivation protein metabolism/urea production lipid metabolism iron recycling cholesterol synthesis

Structure of the liver. A. gross anatomy 4 lobes- left, right, caudate and quadrate functional units- liver lobules B. microscopic anatomy of liver lobuleshepatocytes- mature liver cells that perform most of the liver functions arranged in ‘plates’; high regeneration capacity

Accessory Digestive Organs: Liver, Gall Bladder, Pancreas 2. Gall Bladder thin-walled muscular sac located

Accessory Digestive Organs: Liver, Gall Bladder, Pancreas 2. Gall Bladder thin-walled muscular sac located below the ventral portion of the liver that stores and concentrates bile transferred from liver to gall bladder via common hepatic duct 3. Pancreas digestive function-produces pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes (proenzymes) for release into duodenum via the main and accessory ducts
