Inside of mouth covered with

Roof of mouth is HARD PALATE
(bone) and soft palate
UVULA – flap that hangs off soft
palate – prevents food from going
up the nose when you swallow
TONGUE
Attached to floor of mouth
Helps in chewing and swallowing
Made of skeletal muscle attached

Taste buds on the surface
Secrete saliva
TEETH
GINGIVA – gums, support and
protect teeth
MASTICATION – chewing, teeth
help in mechanical digestion
DECIDUOUS teeth – baby teeth
(#20)
Adult mouth has 32 teeth
Three pairs of salivary glands
• PAROTID – largest salivary glands, they become inflamed during
mumps
Located anterior and inferior to your ears.
SUBMAXILLARY or Submandibular- found near the inner surface of
your lower jaw.
SUBLINGUAL gland- under your tongue.
They produce saliva. Liquefies food. Easier to swallow. Is 99% water.,
and enzymes ptyalin to break down starch.
Saltine Cracker Experiment
• 1) Hold a saltine cracker in your mouth
without chewing.
• 2) Describe the reaction that takes place
and explain why this happens.
• 3) Name the enzyme responsible for
carbohydrate breakdown
• 4) Differentiate between chemical and
mechanical digestion.

STOMACH

CARDIAC SPHINCTER – circular layer
of muscle, controls passage of food
into stomach
PYLORIC SPHINCTER – valve,
regulates the entrance of food into
duodenum
RUGAE – mucous coat lining of
stomach in folds when the stomach is
empty
Stomach has muscular coat that allows
it to contract (peristalsis) and push
food into the small intestine

Protruding stomachs & malnutrition
•
•
•
•
The protruding stomachs typically result
from one of three factors.
The first is edema in the abdominal area
[Moderator's note: edema represents a
"puffiness" due to accumulation of fluid that
has seeped from the bloodstream into
surrounding tissues]. This edema is a result
of a lack of proteins in the bloodstream. The
proteins in the bloodstream cause water to
remain in the bloodstream. As the
concentration of proteins in the bloodstream
decreases, the water moves out of the
bloodstream and into the extracellular
spaces. This causes edema. The edema is
particularly evident in the abdomen-especially in children.
The second cause of a protruding stomach
is an enlarged liver which is a result of
inflammation as well as an accumulation of
fat. Fat accumulates in the liver because`
there are not enough proteins to allow it to
be transported in the bloodstream.
The third cause of the protruding stomach
can be due to parasitic infections, which are
very common in malnourished people and,
of course, make their malnutrition worse.
Accessory Organs of Digestion
• PANCREAS
• LIVER
• GALL BLADDER
• Located behind

stomach
Exocrine function –
secretes digestive
enzymes
Also has endocrine
function
• Largest organ in the body
• Located below the diaphragm,

upper right quadrant
Connected to gallbladder and
small intestine by ducts
Functions:
Produce and store glucose in
the form of GLYCOGEN
Detoxify alcohol, drugs and
other harmful substances
Manufacture blood proteins
Manufactures bile
Store Vitamins A, D and B
complex


Consists of three portions:
1.
Duodenum - (about 12 inches long)
This is where the pancreas and liver have
ducts which empty into the small intestine.
Most of the chemical digestion occurs in
this first division. (This is a site of frequent
ulceration - duodenal ulcer.)
2.
Jejunum - ( about 8 feet in length)
3.
Ileum

Food is now broken down into usable
substances which can be used by the
tissues.

These substances are absorbed by
the villi (millions line the walls of the small

•
intestine.)

Nutrients are either sent to the blood or put
into storage.
•

•
CHYME – semi-liquid food
Approx 2” in diameter
Also called the colon
CECUM – lower right
portion of large intestine
• APPENDIX is finger-like
projection off cecum
• RECTUM – last

portion of large
intestine
ANUS – external
opening

• BOLUS – soft, pliable ball – creating from
chewing and addition of saliva – it slides
down esophagus
PERISTALSIS – wavelike motions, moves
food along esophagus, stomach and
intestines

IDENTIFYING TEETH
Incisors-located in the front and center
-broad, sharp edge
-used to cut food
Cuspids-also called canines, or eyeteeth
-located at angles of lips
-used to tear food
-longest teeth in the mouth
Bicuspids-also called premolars
-located before molars, from
front to back
-used to pulverize or grind food
Molars-teeth in the back of the mouth
-largest and strongest teeth
-used to grind food

Mandibular -located in the
alveoli of the
mandible, or lower jaw
bone

In the stomach…
• gastric (digestive) juices are released
• stomach walls churn and mix (This
mixture is chime)
• small amount of chyme enters duodenum
at a time - controlled by pyloric sphincter
• takes 2-4 hours for stomach to empty
In the small intestine…
• where digestion is completed and
absorption occurs
• addition of enzymes from pancreas and
bile from liver/gallbladder
SMALL INTESTINE
• DUODENUM – first segment,
curves around pancreas, 12”
long
• JEJUNUM – next section, 8 ft.
long
• ILEUM – final portion, 10-12
feet long
• ABSORPTION – in small
intestine, digested food passes
into bloodstream and on to
body cells,… undigestible
passes on to large intestine
In the large intestine…
• regulation of H2O balance by
•
•
•
•
absorbing large quantities back
into bloodstream
bacterial action on undigested
food – decomposed products
excreted through colon –
bacteria form moderate
amounts of B complex and
Vitamin K
gas formation – 1-3 pints/day,
pass it through rectum
(FLATULENCE) 14 times a day,
bacteria produce the gas
FECES – undigested semi-solid
consisting of bacteria, waste
products, mucous and cellulose
DEFECATION – when lg
intestine fills, defecation reflex
triggered – colon and rectal
muscles contract while internal
sphincter relaxes – external
anal sphincter under conscious
control
