Human Digestive System 3.3.4 Human Digestive System

Need to know The functions of the main parts of the alimentary canal and the associated glands Function of teeth . The human dental formula Role of mechanical digestion and peristalsis Details of chemical digestion by one amylase, one protease and one lipase . Role of bile salts Symbiotic bacteria functions in the large intestine Benefits of fibre

The Digestive System

Mechanical breakdown of food 1. Teeth 2. Contractions in stomach wall 3. Peristalsis Rhythmic muscular contraction and relaxation in the wall of the alimentary canal causing the food to move along the canal

Human Teeth Incisors Cutting Canines Tearing Molars Pre molars Crushing and grinding

Human dental Formula Incisors Canines Pre molars Molars c pm m i The number of each type of tooth in the upper jaw one side of the mouth Incisors Canines Pre molars Molars pm 2 m 3 i 2 c 1

Learning check 1 Name four types of teeth Name the parts of the digestive system Learning check 1 Name four types of teeth Write down the human dental formula State the function of each of the four types of teeth

Oesophagus A muscular tube 25 cm long Connects Pharynx to stomach Food moves down the Oesophagus by Peristalsis

Stomach J shaped muscular bag Stores food for about 4 hours Churns and mixes food with gastric juice forming Chyme Digest food

Digestion in the Stomach 1. Mechanical Digestion Peristalsis physically breaks up food particles 2. Chemical Digestion using Gastric Juice containing a. Mucus b. HCl c. Pepsinogen

Functions of gastric juice 1. Mucus Lines and protects the stomach wall 2. HCl a. Kills bacteria b. Activates pepsinogen 3. Pepsinogen Converted to the active enzyme Pepsin by HCL. Pepsin digests protein to peptides

Learning check 2 Define peristalsis What is the function of HCl in the stomach Why is pepsin secreted as inactive pepsinogen Why is the function of mucus in the stomach

Sphincter Muscle Location Cardiac Sphincter Muscle Circular muscle which contracts to close entry from oesophagus to stomach Pyloric Sphincter Muscle Circular muscle which contracts to close the entry to duodenum from the stomach. ( Open when relaxed )

Small Intestine Muscular tube 5-6m long Functions Digestion Absorption Has three parts 1. duodenum 2. jejunum 3. ileum

Duodenum 25cm muscular tube Function Most Digestion takes place in the duodenum

Jejuneum / ileum Function Absorb nutrients Adaptations for absorption 1. Long tube. This gives time for absorption 2. Villi. Infoldings which increase the surface area available for the absorption of food

Villi Infolding in the lining of the small intestine Function Increase surface area for absorption of digested food

A single Villus Fatty acids and Glycerol are absorbed into the Lacteal All other digested food are absorbed into the blood vessels

Large Intestine Colon Caecum Appendix Rectum Anus

Large Intestine Functions (Colon) 1. Reabsorb water 2. Produce B group vitamins 3. Digest cellulose Functions 2 & 3 are carried out by symbiotic bacteria

Large Intestine Functions Appendix Caecum Function unknown in humans Rectum Stores Faeces

Role of the Liver in digestion The liver produces bile Bile is a yellow-green liquid Bile is stored in the gall bladder Bile enters the duodenum through the bile duct

Bile consists of Function of bile 1. Water 2. Bile salts 3. Bile pigments Function of bile 1. Emulsifies fat This increases the surface area of the fat droplets 2. Neutralises the acidic chyme from stomach

Learning check 3 State two ways in which the small intestine is adapted to absorb digested food What are the main functions of the large intestine How are the products of fat digestion transported away from the small intestine Give the function of the liver in digestion

Benefits of dietry fibre Fibre stimulates peristalsis in the colon Helps prevent constipation Constipation results when undigested material passes through the colon too slowly. This leads to too much water being reabsorbed

Three enzymes involved in digestion Enzymes are biological catalysts 1 Amylase 2 Pepsin 3 Lipase

Salivary amylase Digest starch Role Production site Salivary glands Where it acts Mouth pH in mouth Alkaline, pH =8 Digestion product Maltose

Pepsin Digest protein Role Production site Gastric glands in Stomach wall Where it acts Stomach pH in mouth Acid, pH =2 Digestion product Peptides

Lipase Digest fat Role Production site Pancreas Where it acts Dudenum pH in mouth Alkaline, pH =8 Digestion product Fatty acids + Glycerol

Learning check 4 Explain the benefits of fibre in the diet Name a protease enzyme Give the site of action of the protease and state the pH at this location What is the product of the action of the protease
