intracellular digestion
in simple animals, food is digested thru intracellular digestion---digestion occurs w/i food vacuoles
Lysozymes
contain digestive enzymes
extracellular digestion
food digested thru digestive tract, in gastrovascular cavity.
ex, in grasshoppers, food is passed thru specialized regions of the gut:
mouth, esophagus, crop (Storage organ), stomach, intestine, rectum, anus
Human digest. tract =
mouth, esophagus, stomach, SMALL INTESTINE, LARGE INTESTINE, ACCESSORY ORGANS (liver, pancreas, gall bladder, salivary glands
4 groups of molecules broken down by dig. tract
starch proteins fats nucleic acids
first stop in digestive process
mouth/oral cavity
when food enters mouth ___ and ___ digestion begins
chemical and mechanical.
saliva
in mouth, contains salivary amylase
salivary amylase
enzyme in saliva that begins chemical breakdown of starch into maltose in mouth
bolus
chewed ball of food moves thru PHARYNX (throat) and into esophsagus.
food moves thru esophagus in wavelike motion called
peristalsis
Stomach is a thick, muscular sac with 3 functions:
- temporarily stores ingested food
-partially digests proteins
-kills bacteria
gastric juices
secreted by stomach contains digestive enzymes and hydrochloric acid.
pepsin
important enzyme in stomach breaks down proteins into smaller peptides, works best in acidic environ.
chyme
partially digested food enters small intestine
3 regions small intestine
duodenum, jejunum, ileum
pyloric sphincter
entrance into small intestine.
walls of small intestine secrete enzymes
that break down proteins -peptidases ad carbs (maltase, lactase, sucrase)
pancreas secretes 4 enzymes into small intestine
trypsin, chymotrypsin, pancreatic lipase, pancreatic amylase
trypsin, chymotrypsin
break down proteins into dipeptides
pancreatic lipase
breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol
pancreatic amylase
breaks down starch into disaccharrides
ribonucleuase and deoxyribonuclease
break down nucleic acids into nucleotides
enzymes from pancreas are secerted int osmall intestine via
pancreatic duct
bile is an
EMULSIFIER- mechanical breaks up fats into smaller fat droplets
Bile is made in the ____ and stored in the _____
liver; gallbladder
microvilli and villi
absorb broken down food, tiny fingerlike projections of intestine
lacteals
inside each villus, lymph vessels, absorb fatty acids
hormones involved in dig system
GASTRIN, SECRETIN, CHOLECYSTOKININ
gastrin
stimulates stomach cells to produce gastric juce
secretin
stimulates pancreas to produce bicarbonate and digestive enzymes
cholecystokinin
stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes and release of bile
Vitamin K
essential vitamin
feces
leftover undigested food, moves out of large intestine into rectum
respiratory system
insects have____and air enters tiny opening called ____
trachea; spiracles
fishies have
land people have
gills; lungs
Air enters body thru
nose or mouth
Nose
cleans, warms, and moistens incoming air and passes it thru PHARYNX ( and lrynx
pharynx
throat
