WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM?
Follow along on pg. 93 of your
workbook
Functions of the digestive system
 Cells can’t use most food as it comes in
 Breaks down food  molecules (remember
matter?) = small enough to enter cells
 Eliminate undigested food as feces (poop)
Using pg. 167 of textbook, fill in pg.
93 in workbook
Check your answers
1. The digestive tract (in order of pg. 93):
 Mouth
 Pharynx
 Esophagus
 Stomach
 Small intestines
 Large intestines
 Rectum
2. Digestive glands (in order of pg. 93)
 Salivary glands (mouth)
 Liver
 Gastric glands (stomach)
 Pancreas
 Intestinal glands
 Gall bladder
The digestion system
 Digestive system model

 Digestion is changing (transformation) of food
into nutrients so can be used by the body
 Mechanical transformation- physically breaking food
 smaller pieces to prepare for chemical
transformation (breakdown).
 Chemical
transformationcomplex
molecules
simple molecules
using digestive
secretions
(chemicals)
 Nutrients= food molecules
absorbed by the body
(microscopic)
 Absorption- passage of
nutrients from digestive
tract to blood to be taken
to cells.
Processing food in the digestive
system:
1. Ingestion & propulsion of food
2. Digestion of food
3. Absorption of nutrients
4. Elimination of fecal matter (poop)
Food moves along digestive system by:
1. Deglutination = swallowing
-mouthpharynxesophagus
2. Peristalsis= contractions of muscles behind food to
push it along
-esophagus, stomach, large and small
intestines
 Before food can be used by the body it needs to
undergo changes (transformations) to become
nutrients. These are mechanical transformations
and chemical transformations.

o Chewing = cut, crush and grind food
- in mouth
o Churning = muscle contractions mix food with
secretions from digestive glands
- stomach and small intestines

Digestive System Facts
 It takes 3 hours for food to move
through the small intestine.
 Food drying up in the large
intestine can last 18 hours to 2
days.
 In your lifetime, your digestive
system may handle about 50 tons.
 The average person eats about 1.4
kg of food per day.
Digestive System Facts
 The intestines are at least 7.5
meters long in an adult.
 Chewing food takes from 5-30
seconds.
 Digestion from mouth to anus
takes about 72 hours.
 Food sloshing in the stomach
can last 3-4 hours.
DIGESTIVE
food--> nutrients
broken down by:
mechanical- chew,
churn, peristalsis
chemical- acids,
enzymes, pepsin
nutrients
absorbed in
small intestine
go into blood to
be taken to cells
