Physiology
An overview of digestion
Anatomy overview
Functions
1. Ingestion – mouth
2. Motility
• Maintain muscle tone
• A. Propulsive movement: unidirectional
• esophagus, large intestine
• B. Mixing movement: bidirectional
• stomach, small intestine
Functions
3. Digestion
• Mechanical
Mouth (chewing), stomach (churning), small intestine
(segmentation)
• Chemical
Passage across plasma membranes
Carbohydrates: tri-, disaccharides to monoProteins: into amino acids
Fats: monoglycerides and fatty acids
Functions
4. Secretion
Mouth, stomach, liver, pancreas, small intestine
5. Absorption
80% in the duodenum, rest in small and large intestine
6. Elimination of wastes

Absorption
Intestinal villi and microvilli
Absorption through villi
Esophagus
Stomach
Absorption through villi
Small intestine
Absorption through villi
Large intestine
Accessory glands
• Salivary glands
• Moisten, lubricate, breakdown saccharides
• Pancreas
• Enzymes secreted into duodenum, neutralizes stomach
acid
• Liver
• Breakdown fats, neutralizes stomach acid
• Gall bladder
• Store bile made by the liver
