    Study Notes

    Digestive System Overview

    • The digestive system processes food and liquids, enabling the body to absorb nutrients and eliminate waste.
    • It's composed of the digestive tract (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine) and accessory organs (pancreas, liver, gallbladder).
    • These organs work together to break down food into absorbable components.

    Digestive Organs & Functions

    • Mouth: Ingestion, mechanical digestion (chewing), and chemical digestion (saliva).
    • Esophagus: Transports food from the mouth to the stomach.
    • Stomach: Stores food, performs mechanical and chemical digestion.
    • Pancreas: Produces enzymes for digestion and regulates blood sugar.
    • Liver: Produces bile, detoxifies blood, aids in blood clotting, and regulates blood sugar.
    • Gallbladder: Stores and concentrates bile.
    • Small Intestine: Absorbs nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats).
    • Large Intestine: Absorbs water, forms stool, and eliminates waste.
    • Rectum and Anus: Store and eliminate waste.

    Digestive Processes

    • Ingestion: Taking food into the body.
    • Secretion: Release of fluids (e.g., enzymes, mucus).
    • Mixing and Movement: Churning and moving food through the digestive tract.
    • Digestion: Breaking down food into smaller components.
    • Absorption: Taking absorbed nutrients into the bloodstream.
    • Excretion: Removal of waste products.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Students should explain how the organs of each organ system work together.
