Digestive System function (3)
Digestion
Absorption
Defecation
2 parts of digestive system
Alimentary canal (GI tract)
Accessory organs
Accessory Digestive Organs
Teeth
Salivary Gland
Tongue
Pancreas
Liver
Gall Bladder
Aka dentes has 2 sets; deciduous teeth (20) permanent teeth (32)
Teeth
Deciduous Teeth (20) is composed of
Incissors (4)
Canines (2)
Molars (4)
Permanent Teeth (32) is composed of
Canines (2)
Premolars (4)
Incissors (4)
Molars (6)
First teeth to erupt
2 lower incissors sa middle at 6 months
Secretes saliva into the mouth
Salivary Gland
Composition of Saliva (N= 1,000- 1,500 mL)
99.5% water
0.5% solutes
IgA (immunoglobulin A- protects the mouth from bacteria)
2 types of protein in the saliva
Mucin and Salivary Amylase
Mucin function
Mucus secretion
Brings moisture to food & binds them together to form BOLUS
Salivary Amylase (aka ptyalin) function
Serous secretion
Starch digesting enzyme
3 glands of salivary gland
Parotid, Submandibular, Sublingual
Controls of salivary gland
Sympa- decrease
Para- increase
Floor of the mouth
Tongue
Muscles of the tongue
Extrinsic ms
- Movt of the tongue side to side, in and out
Intrinsic ms
- Altering the shape of the tongue
Taste buds
- Receptors for the taste
Has both endocrine and exocrine function. Located in the greater curvature of the stomach. has pancreatic juice (1,200- 1500 ml)
Pancreas
Enzymes of Pancreatic Juice
Pancreatic Amylase - Carbohydrate digesting enzyme
Trypsinogen Aka “Trypsin” - Protein digesting enzyme
Pancreatic Lipase- Triglyceride digesting enzyme
Carbohydrate digesting enzyme
Pancreatic Amylase
Aka “Trypsin” Protein digesting enzyme
Should always remain inactive in the level of the pancreas
Trypsinogen
Brush border villi Responsible for converting trypsinogen to trypsin
Enterokinase
Triglyceride digesting enzyme
Pancreatic Lipase
Relaxation of sphincter of oddi
Release of cholecystokinin
Peristaltic wave in the common bile duct
Intestinal wave
