Digestion Tract –
Also “alimentary tract” and “gastrointestinal tract”
Tract –
Non-sterile mucus membrane. Sometimes considered the “outside” of the body.
Peristalsis –
Moving water through tract with smooth muscle
Segmentation –
Mixing
Bolus –
Balls of food for swallowing
Chyme –
Completely uniformly mixed food
Hepatocyte –
liver cell

3 sections of the small intestines –
Duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.

Larges folds of the small intestine that contain villi, which contains microvilli.
Bile –
Emulsifies fat [mechanical]. Contains bile salts. Stored in the gall bladder.
Hepatocytes –
Liver cells. Produces bile, stores glycogen, stories vitamins, removes NH3.
Ileocecal valve –
leads into the cecum
Digestion Process:
1) Ingestion// 2) Propulsion// 3) Mechanical Digestion// 4) Chemical Digestion//
The 4 Layers of the GI Tract
1) Serosa (visceral peritoneum)// 2) Muscularis Externa (smooth muscle)// 3) Submucosa// 4) Mucosae
Location: Mouth
Function: Ingestion.
Location: Mouth
Function: Teeth chew [mechanical digestion].
Location: Mouth
Function: Saliva (forms bolus, includes amylase [chemical], includes lysozyme [damages bacteria cell walls]. Result of parasympathetic fibers from facial (VII) and glossopharyngeal (IX)
Location: Mouth
Function: Three directions of muscles churn food into chyme [Mechanical]
Location: Stomach
Function: Primary functions of the stomach is mechanical digestion. Primary site of mechanical digestion is stomach
Location: Stomach
Function: Hydrochloric acid: Kills most bacteria, chops pepsinogen into pepsin
Location: Stomach
Function: Pepsin breaks down protein [chemical]
Location: Stomach
Function: Leaves with a pH of 2
Location: Small intestine – Duodenum
Function: About 12 fingers long
Location: Small intestine – Duodenum
Function:
Location: Small intestine – Duodenum
Function:
Location: Small intestine – Duodenum
Function:
Location: Small intestine – Duodenum
Function: Curved
Location: Small intestine – Duodenum
Function: Where most chemical digestion occurs [chemical].
Location: Small intestine – Duodenum
Function: Require a pH of 8: results in fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids.
Location: Small intestine – Duodenum
Function: Pancreas delivers bicarbonate to the duodenum which neutralizes the chyme so the enzymes can work
Location: Small intestine – Duodenum
Function: Liver produces bile to emulsify fat [mechanical]
Location: Small intestine – Duodenum
Function: Absorption of most of the nutrients
Location: Small intestine - Jejunum and Ileum
Absorption continues
Location: Small intestine - Jejunum and Ileum
Microvilli increase the surface area. Each villus has many microvcillus (simple columnar)
Location: Small intestine - Jejunum and Ileum
Nutrients pass through or between simple columnar cells, inter the bloodstream for detox and modification (fatty acids ->cholesterol).
Location: Small intestine - Jejunum and Ileum
Hepatic portal vein brings absorptions to liver, then it goes out hepatic vein and to the vena cava.
Location: Small intestine - Jejunum and Ileum
Peristalsis moves chyme along
Location: Small intestine - Jejunum and Ileum
Segmentation continues mixing and ensuring absorption
Location: Small intestine - Jejunum and Ileum
Ileocecal valve is a sphincter connecting small intestine with large intestine
Location: Large intestines – Appendix, cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum
Function: Primary job: absorb water.
Location: Large intestines – Appendix, cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum
Function: Over 700 species of bacteria normally live here
