9 The Four Stages of Food Processing Ingestion is another word for eating. Digestion is the breakdown of food into molecules small enough for the body to absorb. Absorption is the uptake of the small nutrient molecules by cells lining the digestive tract. Elimination is the disposal of undigested materials left over from food. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

10 Digestion: A Closer Look The dismantling of food molecules is necessary because food molecules are –too large to cross the membranes of animal cells and –different from molecules that make up an animal’s body. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

11 Mechanical digestion –begins the process and –involves physical processes like chewing. Chemical digestion is the chemical breakdown of food by digestive enzymes. Digestion: A Closer Look © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

14 Chemical digestion proceeds via hydrolysis, chemical reactions that break down polymers into monomers using water in the process. Like most biological reactions, digestion also requires enzymes. Digestion: A Closer Look © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

16 Digestive Compartments How do animals digest their food without digesting themselves? In animals, chemical digestion is contained safely within some kind of compartment. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

17 As a cell engulfs food by phagocytosis, –a food vacuole forms, –which then fuses with a lysosome filled with digestive enzymes, and –as food is digested, small food molecules pass through the vacuole membrane into the cytoplasm, which nourishes the cell. Digestive Compartments © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

18 Food vacuoles are the simplest of all digestive compartments. Sponges are the only animals that digest food solely within their cells. Gastrovascular cavities –are digestive compartments surrounded by cells and –have only a single opening. Digestive Compartments © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

19 A digestive tube, or alimentary canal, has two separate openings: –a mouth and –an anus. Digestive Compartments © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

20 Food moves through specialized regions of a digestive tube that –digest and –absorb nutrients in a stepwise fashion. Digestive Compartments © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

22 A TOUR OF THE HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM System Map Bozeman Digestive Bozeman Digestive The human digestive system consists of –a digestive tube, the alimentary canal (or gut), and –accessory organs that secrete digestive chemicals. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

24 The Mouth The mouth, or oral cavity, functions in –ingestion and –the preliminary steps of digestion. Chemical digestion begins in the mouth with the secretion of saliva from salivary glands. The muscular tongue –tastes, –shapes food into a ball, and –pushes the food to the back of the mouth for swallowing. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

26 The pharynx –connects the mouth to the esophagus and –opens to the trachea, which leads to the lungs. During swallowing, a reflex –moves the opening of the trachea upward and –tips the epiglottis to close the trachea entrance. The Pharynx © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

28 The Esophagus The esophagus –is a muscular tube, –connects the pharynx to the stomach, and –moves food down by peristalsis, alternating waves of muscular contraction and relaxation. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

30 The Stomach The stomach –can store food for several hours and –churns food into a thick soup called chyme. Fluid in the stomach contains gastric juice, made of –strong acid, –digestive enzymes, –mucus, and –the enzyme pepsin, which digests proteins. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

32 Stomach Ailments Heartburn is caused by backflow of chyme into the esophagus. Gastric ulcers are –erosions of the stomach lining and –often caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

33 Weight Loss Surgeries The most common weight loss surgery in the United States is gastric bypass. –Staples are used to reduce the stomach to about the size of a chicken egg. –The first 18 inches of the small intestine are bypassed by attaching the downstream intestine directly to the reduced stomach pouch. As a result, –patients quickly feel full when eating and –the body’s ability to absorb food is reduced. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

35 The Small Intestine The small intestine is –the longest part of the alimentary canal and –the major organ for chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

36 Chemical Digestion in the Small Intestine Most chemical digestion occurs in the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. In the duodenum, chyme from the stomach mixes with –pancreatic juice, –bile, and –a digestive juice secreted by the intestinal lining. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

37 Figure 22.11 Liver Gallbladder Bile Chyme Stomach Pancreas Pancreatic juice Duodenum of small intestine Intestinal enzymes

38 The pancreas secretes juice that –neutralizes stomach acids in the duodenum and –aids in digestion. The liver secretes bile, which –is stored in the gallbladder and –helps digest fats. Chemical Digestion in the Small Intestine © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

39 Absorption of Nutrients In the duodenum, nutrients are –completely digested and –ready to be absorbed. Nutrients only enter the body if they are absorbed into the walls of the digestive tract. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

43 The Large Intestine The large intestine is –shorter, but wider, than the small intestine and –about 1.5 meters in length. At the junction of the small and large intestine is a small, finger-like extension called the appendix. –The appendix contains white blood cells that make minor contributions to the immune system. –Appendicitis is a bacterial infection of the appendix. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

44 The colon –forms the main portion of the large intestine, –absorbs water from the alimentary canal, and –produces feces, the waste product of food. –The colon is composed of the cecum(receiving chamber for food from ileum), the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, the sigmoid colon, the rectum and anus The Large Intestine © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

45 The rectum –forms the last 15 cm (6 inches) of the large intestine and –stores feces until elimination. The anus –consists of two sphincters and –regulates the opening of the rectum. The Large Intestine © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

52 Calories Calories are a measure of the energy –stored in your food and –used in daily activitiesA calorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1°C. A kilocalorie (kcal) is –1,000 calories, –the unit listed on food labels, and –often called Calories with an uppercase C. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

53 Metabolic Rate The rate of energy consumption by the body is the metabolic rate. A person’s metabolic rate consists of –the basal metabolic rate (BMR), the amount of energy it takes to maintain body functions, and –energy needed for activities. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

55 Food as Building Material Building blocks from the breakdown of organic molecules are used to –repair tissues and –maintain tissues. Essential nutrients –are substances needed by the body but –cannot be made in the body from other molecules. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

56 Essential Amino Acids In humans, eight essential amino acids –must be obtained from the diet and –are in different proportions in different foods. All eight essential amino acids can be consumed by eating –meat, eggs, or milk or –a variety of plants, typically grains and legumes such as beans, peanuts, and peas. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

68 Eating Disorders Eating disorders –affect millions of Americans, –are more common in women than men, and –result in malnutrition. Anorexia nervosa is self-starvation, even when a person is underweight. Bulimia involves –binge eating, –purging through induced vomiting, –abuse of laxatives, and/or –excessive exercise. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

69 Obesity –is a too-high body mass index (BMI), –is the nutritional disorder of greatest concern, –affects about one-third of all Americans, and –increases the risk of heart attack, diabetes, and other diseases. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
