    Study Notes

    Digestive System

    • Digestion: The process of breaking down food for absorption
    • Organs Involved: Stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, esophagus
    • Functions of Organs:
      • Esophagus: Transports food from mouth to stomach
      • Stomach: Breaks down food mechanically and chemically, mixes food with gastric juices
      • Small Intestine: Absorbs nutrients; mixes food with digestive enzymes
      • Large Intestine: Absorbs water and electrolytes, forms waste
      • Liver: Produces bile, processes nutrients, filters blood
      • Gallbladder: Stores bile
      • Pancreas: Secretes enzymes to aid digestion
    • Enzymes:
      • Amylase: Digests carbohydrates
      • Lipase: Digests fats
      • Protease: Digests proteins

    Digestive Processes

    • Mechanical Digestion: The physical breakdown of food (e.g., chewing, churning)
    • Chemical Digestion: The breakdown of food using enzymes
    • Absorption: The process of taking nutrients into the bloodstream
    • Elimination: The removal of undigested food from the body

    Accessory Organs

    • Gallbladder: Stores bile
    • Pancreas: Produces enzymes, regulates blood sugar

    Absorption

    • Nutrients Absorbed: Water, vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats
    • Absorption Sites: Small intestine - most absorption, large intestine - some water absorption
    • Specialized Structures: Villi and microvilli increase surface area for absorption

    Important Processes

    • Peristalsis: Wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract.
    • Secretion: Release of fluids and enzymes to aid in digestion
    • Elimination: Removing waste (feces) from the body

    Specific Nutrients

    • Carbohydrates: Broken down into simple sugars
    • Proteins: Broken down into amino acids
    • Fats: Broken down into fatty acids and glycerol

    Other

    • Digestive Hormones: Regulate secretions and motility.

    • Bile: Emulsifies fats

    • Nutrients: Processed and converted to energy or building blocks

    • Components of Food: Proteins, carbohydrates, fats

    • Types of Nutrients: Proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, water
