State 1 thing you know about digestion?


OR

Hang on to this as you will need it at the


end of digestion! ;)
Today you will...

1.Identify organs in the order they are


needed during digestion
2.Describe 1 function of each digestive
organ
3.Identify 2 ways to improve digestion
What is Digestion?

The bodys way of turning


liquids and food into
building blocks and energy.
Mouth

Digestion begins in the mouth

Chewing breaks down food into small


pieces
Has your mouth ever began to water when
you think of your favorite food?
Salivary glands release chemicals that
help to further break down food
Epiglottis & Esophagus

Your esophagus is your food pipe


It stretches from your throat to your
stomach
About 25cm long

Have you ever had a sip of water and began


to cough?
The epiglottis is a small flap that
covers the windpipe.
Lets Watch
Stomach

When the bolus reaches the stomach it


is combined with a mixture of liquids
called Gastric Juices
Gastric juice contains enzymes to
continue breaking down the food

Bolus + Gastric Juices = CHYME


Small Intestine

22 feet long!
Digests food further into a thin,
watery mixture
3 Main areas:
Duodenum:1st stop after
stomach
Jejunum
Ileum
Food can spend up to 4hrs inside

Almost all food absorption occurs
here
Liver, Gallbladder &
Pancreas
Liver: filters harmful substances
from blood
Makes bile
Bile mixes with chyme
Helps absorb fat into bloodstream
Pancreas
Pancreatic juices
Contains digestive enzymes to
help breakdown fats, proteins &
carbs in small intestine
Gallbladder stores bile

Large Intestine: Colon,
rectum & anus
5 feet long
Waste leftover from digestion
& absorption needs to be
removed from body
Colon absorbs any leftover
water or minerals
Waste gets harder as water
leaves forming a bowel
movement or...poop!

Large Intestine:
Colon, rectum & anus
Large intestine pushes waste into the
rectum
The waste waits here until you feel
the urge to go to the bathroom
Body gets rid of waste by passing it
through the anus
