Study Notes
Digestive System
- The digestive system processes food and liquid into forms absorbable into the bloodstream. It also eliminates waste.
- The system includes the digestive tract and accessory organs.
- The digestive tract consists of the oral cavity (mouth), pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
- Accessory organs include the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
Digestive Tract Organs
- Mouth: Used for biting, chewing, mixing food with saliva, and shaping it into portions that are pushed into the pharynx.
- Pharynx: Moves food into the esophagus via reflex action.
- Esophagus: Moves food into the stomach via peristalsis
- Stomach: Stores food, mixes it with water and digestive juices, and secrets protein-digesting hydrochloric acid and pepsin.
- Small Intestine: Stores enzymes, receives digestive juices, digests and neutralizes food, and processes most nutrient absorption.
- Large Intestine: Forms, stores, and eliminates undigested waste material.
Accessory Organs
- Salivary Glands: Secrete saliva, containing amylase to begin starch digestion.
- Liver: Secretes bile salts for fat breakdown.
- Gallbladder: Stores and releases bile into the digestive tract.
- Pancreas: Secretes digestive enzymes and bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid.
Digestive Actions
- Mouth: Bites, chews, and mixes food with saliva.
- Pharynx: Swallowing.
- Esophagus: Moves food to stomach via peristalsis.
- Stomach: Stores, mixes food with juices, and secretes protein-digesting enzymes.
- Small Intestine: Secretes enzymes, neutralizes food, and absorbs nutrients.
- Large Intestine: Forms, stores, and eliminates waste material.
- Liver: Secretes bile for fat digestion.
- Gallbladder: Stores and releases bile.
- Pancreas: Secretes enzymes and bicarbonate.
Urinary System
- The urinary system is the body's drainage system for removing urine.
- Four parts work together to remove waste: kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.
- Kidneys: Bean-shaped organs; filter about 120-150 quarts of blood to remove wastes and balance fluids.
- Ureters: Tubes connecting kidneys to the bladder, carrying urine.
- Bladder: A muscular organ that expands as it fills with urine; a reservoir.
- Urethra: A tube that carries urine out of the body.
