IB Learning Objective
• Explain why digestion of large food molecules is essential
The Need for Digestion
Two reasons for the digestion of food:
1. Change food into useable forms:
– Food that humans eat contain substances made by other organisms. Manu of which are not suitable for human tissue.
– Thus the must be broken down and changed into useful forms
– Example:
Proteıns amıno acıds dıfferent proteıns
The Need for DigestionTwo reasons for the digestion of food:
2. Food molecules may be too big to be absorbed:
– Food molecules are absorb by the villi in our small intestines.
– Thus food molecules must be broken down into small enough molecules that they can be absorbed by:
• Simple diffusion,
• facilitated diffusion
• or active transport.

IB Learning Objective
• Explain the need for enzymes in digestions
Enzymes essential to digestion of food molecules
• Digestions of food molecules will happen naturally at body temperature BUT very slowly
• Thus, ENZYMES are essential to speed up the process.

IB Learning Objective
• Outline the reasons for cellulose not being digested in the alimentary canal.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Summary of digestion
• Some molecules cannot be digested (example: Cellulose)
• The enzyme cellulase digest cellulose, but humans lack the gene that codes for this enzyme.
• Undigested cellulose is an important part of dietary fibre, which has beneficial effects on the digestive system.

Sequence of digestion
– Food is digested as it passes along the alimentary canal from mouth to anus.
– Food enters mouth, moves into the esophagus, the stomach, next small intestine, then large intestine, and finally anus.

Summary of digestion
• Longitudinal and circular muscle fibers along the walls of the alimentary canal contract and relax squeezing the food and breaking up large solid lumps.
• Digestive juices release by salivary glands, stomach and pancreas contain enzymes which help break food molecules

IB LEARNING OBJECTIVE
• Outline the function of the stomach
The Stomach Summary
• The Stomach
• Food from the esophagus empties into the stomach.
• The stomach continues mechanical and chemical digestion.
• Alternating contractions of three smooth muscle layers churn food.
Function of Stomach Summary
– Mechanical Digestion
• The stomach contracts to churn fluids and food, gradually producing a mixture known as chyme.
• After 1–2 hours, the pyloric valve between the stomach and small intestine opens and chyme flows into the small intestine.
The Stomach Summary
– Chemical Digestion
• The stomach lining has millions of gastric glands that release substances into the stomach.
– Some glands produce mucus, which lubricates and protects the stomach wall.
– Other glands produce hydrochloric acid, which makes the stomach contents very acidic.
– Other glands produce pepsin, an enzyme that digests protein.

Interior surface of stomach
Function of Stomach
• Before food reaches the stomach, gastric juices are being secreted, as a result of a involuntary reflex action.
• When food enters the stomach more gastric juices are released.
Function of Stomach
• When food enters the stomach a hormone gastrin is released.
• Gastrin signals for the stomach to increase the amount of hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach
• The pH of the stomach is about 3 (very acidic) when food enters
Function of Stomach
• Bacteria which could cause food poisoning, are most killed by acid conditions.
Enzymes released by stomach.
• Enzyme released by stomach is pepsin.
• Pepsin functions has an optimum pH of 1.5 (very acid).
• Pepsin digests proteins.
Pepsin vs. Pepsinogen
• Since pepsin digests proteins, it could be harmful to the cell of the glands that secrete them.
• They are therefore secreted as an inactive pre-cursors called Pepsinogen.
• Pepsinogen is an inactive form of pepsin.
• Pepsinogen becomes pepsin when it is released in the hydrochloric acid (HCl) of the stomach

IB LEARNING OBJECTIVE
• Outline the function of the small intestine
Function of the Small Intestine
• The small intestine is the longest section of the alimentary canal
• It is the major organ of digestion and absorption

The Small Intestine
• As chyme from the stomach is pushed through the pyloric valve, it enters the duodenum.
• The duodenum is the first of three parts of the small intestine, and is where most digestive enzymes enter the intestine.

The Small Intestine
• During digestion, the pancreas:
• produces enzymes that break down carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Enzymes of the Pancreas
• Amylase – completes breakdown of starches into maltose
• Protease – completes the breakdown of small polypeptides (proteins) to amino acids
• Lipase – converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Pancreas
• Pancreas also produces sodium bicarbonate, a base that neutralizes stomach acid so that these enzymes can be effective.
• Sodium bicarbonate is released into the duodenum of the small intestine right after chyme enters it from the stomach.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
LIVER
• Assisting the pancreas is the liver, which produces bile.
• Bile dissolves and disperses droplets of fat in fatty foods. This process is called emulsification
• Emulsification increases surface area of lipid droplets
• This enables enzymes (lipase) to break down smaller fat molecules.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Liver – Bile -- Digestion of Lipids
• Bile is stored in the gallbladder.
– and released into the small intestines.
– Lipid molecules tend to bond together and are only accessible to lipase (enzyme) at the lipid–water interface/ boundary.

Parts of the small intestines
Absorption in the Small Intestine
• The small intestine is adapted for the absorption of nutrients.
• Most absorption occurs in the ileum of the small intestine
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
IB LEARNING OBJECTIVE
• Explain the structure of the villus is related to its role in absorption and transport of products of digestions
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Absorption in the ileum of the Small Intestine
• The folded surfaces of the ileum are covered with fingerlike projections called villi.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Relationship between structure of villus and its function
• Villi increase surface area over view food is absorbed
• An epithelium consists of only one layer of cells, which is all that food have to pass through in order to be absorbed
• Protrusions of exposed plasma memebrance of the epithelium called microvilli, increase surface area for absorption.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• The Small Intestine
Absorption in the Small Intestine
• Cell surfaces of villi have more projections called microvilli.
• These provide an enormous surface area for the absorption of nutrient molecules.
• Slow, wavelike contractions of smooth muscles move the chyme along this surface.
Relationship between structure of villus and its function
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Relationship between structure of villus and its function
• Protein channels and pumps in microvilli allow for rapid absorption of food by facilitated diffusion and active transport
• A lot of mitochondria in epithelium cell need for ATP in active transport.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Relationship between structure of villus and its function
• Blood capillaries inside villus are very close to epithelium so the distance for diffusion of food is very small.
• A lacteal (lymph vessel) in the centre of villus carries fat away after digestion.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Relationship between structure of villus and its function
• There are many pinocytic vesicles near the microvilli.
• Pinocytic vesicles are formed by endocytosis
• Each vesicles are formed from plasma membrane and so contain both:
– Protein channels for facilitated diffusion
– Protein pumps for active transport
• Digested food can be absorbed from vesicles into the cytoplasm of cells

IB LEARNING OBJECTIVE
• Outline the function of the large intestine
The Large Intestine
• The Large Intestine
• When the chyme leaves the small intestine, it enters the large intestine, or colon.
• The large intestine removes water from the chyme.
• Water is absorbed quickly, leaving undigested materials behind.
• Concentrated waste material passes through the rectum and is eliminated from the body.
