antibiotics
11. In our cells, chemical reactions take place
in water
Waste chemicals are diluted in water in
order to be passed out of our bodies
Blood transport substances dissolved in
water
Why do we need water?
12. Can we digest
fibre??
NOOOOOO
To digest fibre, the enzyme cellulase must be present to break
down cellulose, which compose the cell wall. In our digestive
system, we can't synthesise this enzyme. Thus, we can't digest
fibre
What is the
function of fibre?
To keep the digestive system healthy
and functioning properly. Fibre aids and speeds up
the excretion of waste and toxins from the body,
preventing constipation. It stimulates peristalsis
and help retain water

17. Digestion
Digestion is the breakdown of large food
molecules into small food mollecules in
the digestive system, so that they can be
absorbed into the bloodstream and carried
to every cell of the body.
18. Digestive system
Digestive truct
Esophagus
Stomach
Small intestines
Large intestines
Rectum and anus
Glands
Salivary glands
Liver
Gallbladder
Pancreas
19. Path of Food Mouth--chewing
Pharynx--conscious swallowing
Esophagus--transport to stomach
Stomach--mechanical
and chemical breakdown
Small Intestines--
chemical digestion and absorption
Large Intestines--
resorb water, form feces
Rectum---collect and expel feces
20. MOUTH
Mechanical and
chemical digestion
start in the mouth.
Saliva contains the enzyme amylase ( it breaks down starch into
sugar).
Saliva also contains mucus which lubricates the food and helps it
pass down the oesophagus.
Saliva lubricates
and stick the
small pieces
togetherbolus
21. Chewing and
swallowing
SWALLOWING: Food passes from the MOUTH to the PHARYNX and into the ESOPHAGUS
1 The tongue presses UPWARDS and BACK against the roof of the mouth
2 The SOFT PALATE closes the NASAL CAVITY
3 The LARYNX cartilage is pulled upwards so that the glottis is under the back of the tongue
4 The GLOTTIS is partly closed
5 The EPIGLOTTIS shuts down to help prevent food from going down the WINDPIPE
The beginning is VOLUNTARY, once food gets to the back of the mouth REFLEX ACTION
22. Peristalsis
The oesophagus has circular muscles in the
wall. These muscles contract behind the
bolus to push it along and the muscles in
front of the food relax. This way food passes
along the oesophagus to thestomach. This
movement is known as peristalsis.

23. Enzymes in digestion.
Enzymes are chemicals that break down
large food molecules into small food molecules.
24. STOMACH FUNCTION
–Mechanical and chemical breakdown
of food
Protein
breakdown-pepsin
secreted by
epithelial lining
◦ Acidic
conditions--for
pepsin to work and
to kill bacteria
The gastric juices contain protease enzymes (PEPSIN) and hydrochloric acid
25. STOMACH
Food+ GASTRIC JUICE=
◦ From esophagus
(cardiac orifice
or lower
esophageal
sphincter)
◦ To small
intestine (pyloric
sphincter)

the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon,
and the sigmoid colon.
28.
29. Small Intestine:
Modifications for absorption
dense capillary
network
Digested food passes
to the blood to be
taken to the liver and
then distributed round
the body
Microvilli:
Increases surface
area the larger
the surface, the
faster the
absorption
thin epithelium
increases contact,
fluids can pass
easily to reach the
capillaries
Length
It gives plenty of
time for digestion
to be completed
and for digested
food to be
absorbed
30. *They work in stages and different parts of the canal e.g: starch MALTOSE GLUCOSE (SALIVA/PANCREAS)
protein PEPTIDE Amino acid (AA) (STOMACH)
Fats LIPASE GLYCEROL+ FATTY ACIDS
*TYPES: 1) CARBOHYDRASES digest CH e.g AMYLASE => MALTOSE MALTASE => GLUCOSE
2) LIPASES digest FATS into=> fatty acids and glycerol
3) PROTEASES digest proteins into POLIPEPTIDES => Amino acid (AA)
*
31. PROTEASES are produced in an inactive form + MUCUS
* PEPSIN is produced as PEPSINOGEN and becomes PEPSIN when it
encounters HYDROCHLORIC ACID
* TRYPSIN is produced as TRYPINOGEN and becomes TRYPSIN when it
encounters ENTEROKINASE (produced by duodenum lining)
BRAIN
nerve impulses
GASTRIN when food reaches
the stomach, circulates in the
blood to maintain the gastric
secretion
SECRETIN
stimulates secretion of
ENTEROKINASE and SODIUM
HYDROCARBONATE
32. Interesting Facts about the
Digestive System…
•We eat about 500kg of food per year.
•We produce 1.7 litres of saliva each day.
•In the mouth, food is either cooled or warmed to a more suitable temperature.
•The oesophagus is approximately 25cm long.
•Muscles contract in waves to move the food down the esophageus. This means that food would get to a
person's stomach, even if they were standing on their head.
•An adults stomach can hold approximately 1.5 litres of material and produces about 2.5 litres of gastric
juice everyday.
•In an average person, it takes 8 seconds for food to travel down the food pipe, 3-5 hours in small intestine and 3-4
days in the large intestine.
•The human body takes 6 hours to digest a high fat meal and takes 2 hours for a carbohydrate meal.
•Every day 11.5 litres of digested food, liquids and digestive juices flow through the digestive system, but only
100mls is lost in faeces.
•Most of us pass somewhere between 200 and 2,000 ml of gas per day. These emissions are composed of five
gasses: nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen (H2), and methane (CH4).

40. Overview of the Digestive System
1
- the first part of the digestive system, where food enters the body. Chewing and salivary enzymes in
the mouth are the beginning of the digestive process (breaking down the food).
- glands located in the mouth that produce saliva. Saliva contains enzymes that break down
carbohydrates (starch) into smaller molecules.
- the long tube between the mouth and the stomach. It uses rhythmic muscle movements (called
peristalsis) to force food from the throat into the stomach.
- rhythmic muscle movements that force food in the esophagus from the throat into the stomach.
Peristalsis is involuntary - you cannot control it. It is also what allows you to eat and drink while
upside-down.
- a large organ located above and in front of the stomach. It filters toxins from the blood, and makes
bile (which breaks down fats) and some blood proteins.
- a sack-like, muscular organ that is attached to the esophagus. Both chemical and mechanical
digestion takes place in the stomach. When food enters the stomach, it is churned in a bath of acids
and enzymes.

42. - food in the stomach that is partly digested and mixed with stomach acids. It goes on to the small
intestine for further digestion.
- a small, sac-like organ located by the duodenum. It stores and releases bile (a digestive chemical
which is produced in the liver) into the small intestine.
- a digestive chemical that is produced in the liver, stored in the gall bladder, and secreted into the
small intestine.
- an enzyme-producing gland located below the stomach and above the intestines. Enzymes from
the pancreas help in the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in the small intestine.
- the first part of the small intestine; it is C-shaped and runs from the stomach to the jejunum.
