CH 38-2 THE MOUTHmouth – the organ in which digestion beginsteeth – tear and crush food into a fine paste until it is ready to be swallowed – anchored to the bones of the jaw; protected by a coating of enamel – do much of the mechanical digestion

CH 38-2 THE MOUTHthree functions:1) helps to ease the passage of food through the digestive system by moistening food2) contains lysozyme – an enzyme that fights infection by digesting the cell walls of bacteria that enter the mouth3) contains amylase – begins to break the bonds in starches to produce simpler sugars

CH 38-2 THE ESOPHAGUSbolus – chewed clump of food that is pushed down the throat by the tongue and throat muscles epiglottis – flap of tissue that covers the trachea when swallowing to prevent food from entering lungs

CH 38-2 THE ESOPHAGUSesophagus – tube that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach– walls are made of ringed muscle that squeeze food through the tube– peristalsis – the rhythmic muscular contractions of the smooth muscle in the digestive system that pushes food along
![Page 14: CH 38-2 THE PROCESS OF DIGESTION By the end of this section you should be able to: Identify the organs of the digestive system Describe the function of](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d0b5503460f949ddfd3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
CH 38-2 THE ESOPHAGUScardiac sphincter – also called esophageal sphincter– a thick ring of muscle that closes the esophagus after food has passed into the stomach– prevents the contents of the stomach from moving back into the esophagus
![Page 15: CH 38-2 THE PROCESS OF DIGESTION By the end of this section you should be able to: Identify the organs of the digestive system Describe the function of](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d0b5503460f949ddfd3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

CH 38-2 THE STOMACH
stomach – large, muscular sac just below the diaphragm in the abdomen– three layers of smooth muscle– churns and mixes the food that is swallowed
![Page 17: CH 38-2 THE PROCESS OF DIGESTION By the end of this section you should be able to: Identify the organs of the digestive system Describe the function of](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d0b5503460f949ddfd3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CH 38-2 THE STOMACH
chemical digestion – stomach is lined with millions of microscopic gastric glands that release a number of substances into the stomach
![Page 18: CH 38-2 THE PROCESS OF DIGESTION By the end of this section you should be able to: Identify the organs of the digestive system Describe the function of](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d0b5503460f949ddfd3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CH 38-2 THE STOMACHgastric secretions include:1) mucus – lubricates food and protects the stomach lining 2) HCl – hydrochloric acid makes the stomach contents acidic which allows pepsin to work
![Page 19: CH 38-2 THE PROCESS OF DIGESTION By the end of this section you should be able to: Identify the organs of the digestive system Describe the function of](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d0b5503460f949ddfd3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CH 38-2 THE STOMACHgastric secretions include:3) pepsin – enzyme that begins the digestion of protein– works best in acidic environments– breaks proteins into smaller polypeptide fragments

CH 38-2 THE STOMACH
the acidic environment denatures (“changes the shape of”) the amylase enzyme, so carbohydrate digestion stops in the stomach (it restarts in the small intestine)

CH 38-2 THE STOMACHmechanical digestion – muscular walls of the stomach contract to churn and mix stomach fluids and food to produce chyme▫ chyme – a pasty mixture of food that results after 2 to 3 hours of churning in the stomach

CH 38-3 FUNCTIONS OF THE EXCRETORY SYSTEM
excretion – process by which metabolic wastes are eliminated– maintains homeostasis in the internal cellular environment– rids the body of excess salt, CO2 and urea– urea – toxic compound that is produced when amino acids are used for energy

CH 38-3 THE EXCRETORY SYSTEMorgans of excretion 1) skin – excretes excess water and salt, and a small amount of urea in sweat2) lungs – excrete carbon dioxide that is produced when ATP is made

CH 38-3 THE EXCRETORY SYSTEM3) liver – takes up amino acids from proteins that have been broken down– converts the amino acids into other useful compounds– produces nitrogen waste in the process, which is potentially poisonous– the liver converts this nitrogen waste quickly to urea – urea is removed from the bloodstream by the kidneys

– each nephron has one arteriole and one venule with a network of capillaries connecting them– releases fluid to the collecting duct that leads to the ureter

CH 38-3 THE KIDNEYS
FiltrationMost filtration occurs in the glomerulus. Blood pressure forces water, salt, glucose, amino acids, and urea into Bowman’s capsule. Proteins and blood cells are too large to cross the membrane; they remain in the blood. The fluid that enters the renal tubules is called the filtrate.
ReabsorptionAs the filtrate flows through the renal tubule, most of the water and nutrients are reabsorbed into the blood. The concentrated fluid that remains is called urine.

reabsorption – the process in which liquid is taken back into a vessel– most of the material removed from the blood at Bowman's capsule is returned to the blood

CH 38-3 THE KIDNEYS
Steps to blood purification in the nephron:1) the blood is under pressure and the walls of the capillaries and Bowman's capsule are permeable2) fluid flows from the blood into Bowman's capsule; this fluid is called filtrate

CH 38-3 THE KIDNEYS4) amino acids, fats and glucose are actively pumped out of filtrate and reabsorbed by the capillaries – water follows by osmosis 5) filtrate (with little water or nutrients left) drains into collecting ducts

CH 38-3 THE KIDNEYS6) urine – the remaining filtrate; contains urea, excess salt and water– empties into a collecting duct– becomes concentrated (excess water is reabsorbed) in the loop of Henle– loop of Henle - the section of nephron tubule in which water is conserved and volume of urine is minimized

CH 38-3 THE KIDNEYSdrugs in urine – drugs are not usually reabsorbed, they remain in the filtrate and are eliminated in the urine– this is why the effects of many drugs wear off over time (e.g., antibiotics)
