1. THE JOURNEY OF DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - YOUTUBE THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

2. I. OVERVIEW * break down food into small molecules that can be ABSORBED and used by cells in the body * ALIMENTARY CANAL is 9 m long

3. II. MOUTH * MECHANICAL & CHEMICAL digestion * enzymes in saliva (ex. AMYLASE breaks down starch) * BOLUS - ball of chewed food

4. III. ESOPHAGUS * PERISTALSIS moves food by muscle contractions (contract & relax)

5. IV. STOMACH * PEPSIN, HCl acid, & mucus – CHEMICAL digestion * PROTEIN DIGESTION STARTS HERE!!! (add this) * CHYME – THIN, SOUPY LIQUID

6. V. SMALL INTESTINE * covered w/ VILLI (fingerlike projections lined with capillaries; increases SURFACE AREA) * nutrients absorbed INTO BLOOD (CARBS & PROTEINS) * JEJUNUM, duodenum, & ileum

8. VI. LARGE INTESTINE * water, cellulose, & other UNDIGESTABLE substances left behind * WATER reabsorbed & VITAMINS absorbed * NO DIGESTION TAKES PLACE!!! * FECES formed – stored in RECTUM - eliminated through ANUS

10. VII. ACCESSORY ORGANS A. PANCREAS * pancreatic juice w/ENZYMES (pancreatic DUCT delivers to small intestine) * neutralizes STOMACH ACID

11. B. LIVER * produces BILE (breaks down fats)

12. C. GALLBLADDER * stores BILE

14. THE EXCRETORY SYSTEM I. OVERVIEW * maintain HOMEOSTASIS by removing WASTE products from the BLOOD, regulate blood VOLUME, & maintain pH

15. I. SKIN * excrete SWEAT – water, salts, UREA

16. UREA??? * produced when the liver breaks down protein * average person excretes about 30 grams of urea a day, mostly through urine, but a small amount is also secreted in perspiration * one million pounds of urea is manufactured in the U.S. each year, most of it used in fertilizers * used commercially and industrially to produce some types of plastics, animal feed, glues, toilet bowl cleaners, dish washing machine detergents, hair coloring products, pesticides, and fungicides

17. II. LUNGS * excrete CARBON DIOXIDE

18. III. KIDNEYS * blood cleaned & FILTERED (every 45 min. all blood) * URINE = urea, water, & other waste * made up of millions of NEPHRONS - filtration, REABSORPTION, secretion _________  _________  _________  ________ ? 1 of 5 Select this picture Prints best up to 11x14 Why?

21. UROPHAGIA (ewww…gross!!!) * Urophagia is the consumption of urine * Urine, which consists almost entirely of water, is completely sterile when it leaves the body. * auto-urine therapy is said to boost the immune system, cure migraines and other chronic conditions, stave off a cold and work wonders on eyesight problems; can work wonders on skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis; can apply it directly for athlete's foot, bee stings and jellyfish stings; you can gargle it for toothache and gum disease. * Bacterial infections of the urinating person's urethra, or disease in the person urinating may pose a risk.
