Digestive System
Describe the location, structure and function of key digestive and accessory organs (pancreas,
liver and gall bladder)
o Gastrointestinal system
Mouth to anus - an open tube exposed to external environment
Substances must cross cell membranes before they are internal
Processes
Ingestion
Secretion
Mixing/movement
Digestion
Absorption
Excretion
o Muscular tube
Oral cavity (mouth)
Pharynx
Oesophagus
Stomach
Small intestine
Large intestine (open to anus)
o Accessory structures assist in digestion/absorption
Teeth
Tongue
Glands (salivary, liver, gall bladder, pancreas)
o Glands produce secretions into lumen/surface
Water, enzymes, buffers, organic and inorganic substances
o Mouth, pharynx, salivary glands
Sensory analysis of food, mastication and swallowing
Moistening and lubrication - mucus, saliva, water, salt
Digestion by enzymes
Lingual lipase - lipids
Salivary amylase - CHO

Mechanical processes (chewing, swallowing) by teeth, tongue, palate, pharynx to
prepare a bolus
No absorption of nutrients (is possible for lipid soluble drugs)
o Oesophagus
Straight hollow muscular tube 25cm
Posterior to trachea, passes into abdominal cavity through diaphragm
Has glands that secrete mucus
Mix of skeletal and smooth muscle
Muscle tone in superior section reduces entry of air
Muscle tone in inferior section reduces backflow from stomach
Functions
Lubricate
Move bolus to stomach by peristalsis
o Stomach
J shaped organ
Highly folded rugae which flatten when stretched
3 layers of muscle for churning
Secretions
HCL pH. 1.5-2
Glands secrete a mucous carpet that protects lining enzyme pepsin
Functions
Lubrication
Churning
First protein digestion
Food solubilisation
No absorption
Kill microbes
Stores food
Secretes intrinsic factor, mucus, pepsinogen and acid
Chyme formed by peristaltic and churning contractions start in
'pacemaker' region and sweep towards antrum and pyloric sphincter
Small amount forced into duodenum
Contraction of pyloric sphincter causes gastric mixing

o Small intestine - duodenum, jejunum, ileum
Duodenum 25cm - 'mixing bowl' for acid neutralisation
Jejunum 2.5m - most chemical digestion, must nutrient absorption
Ileum 3.5m - terminates with ileocecal valve to LI
Mixing by segmentation - not rhythmic motility
Mix chyme with intestinal, bile and pancreatic juice
Peristalsis
Secretion of enzymes for
Protein digestion - peptidases
Lipid digestion - lipases
CHO digestion - amylases, brush border enzymes
Propulsion to large intestine
Functions
Lubrication
Motility
Digestion (CHO, protein, fat)
Nutrient absorption (90%)

Document Summary

Digestive system: describe the location, structure and function of key digestive and accessory organs (pancreas, liver and gall bladder, gastrointestinal system, mouth to anus - an open tube exposed to external environment. Substances must cross cell membranes before they are internal: processes. Secretion: mixing/movement, digestion, absorption, excretion, muscular tube, oral cavity (mouth, pharynx, oesophagus. Lubricate: move bolus to stomach by peristalsis, stomach, j shaped organ, highly folded rugae which flatten when stretched, 3 layers of muscle for churning, secretions, hcl ph. 1. 5-2: glands secrete a mucous carpet that protects lining enzyme pepsin, functions. Secretes intrinsic factor, mucus, pepsinogen and acid: chyme formed by peristaltic and churning contractions start in. "pacemaker" region and sweep towards antrum and pyloric sphincter. Lipid digestion - lipases: propulsion to large intestine, functions. B5, biotin: movement, haustral contraction (every 30min, mass movement (1-3 times per day, secretion, mucus, functions. Lubrication: water reabsorption, waste compaction, motility, vitamin absorption.
