Alimentary Canal
A muscular tube about 9 yards long which passes through the body’s ventral cavity
![Page 3: Digestive System Chapter 12. Alimentary Canal A muscular tube about 9 yards long which passes through the body’s ventral cavity](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083005/56649f1d5503460f94c348cf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
4 Layers of the Alimentary Canal
1. Mucous Membrane
2. Submucosa: carry materials

3. Muscular Layer: peristalsis
4. Serous Layer: lubrication

Mouth…
Tongue: friction (Papillae-rough projections), taste
Teeth: 20 primary 32
secondary

Palate:
Hard=toward front Soft=tissue near back of throat that forms the cone-shaped projection called the Uvula (“hangy ball”)

Esophagus…
Behind trachea, through diaphragm, lined with mucus
Epiglottis closes over trachea to swallow

Stomach…
Pyloric Sphincter-muscle at junction of esophagus and stomach
A valve that prevents regurgitation of food
![Page 9: Digestive System Chapter 12. Alimentary Canal A muscular tube about 9 yards long which passes through the body’s ventral cavity](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083005/56649f1d5503460f94c348cf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Stomach…
Secretes mucus (protection), pepsin (enzyme), hydrochloric acid
Absorbs water, alcohol, and some drugs

Pancreas…
Connects with duodenum
Secretes several enzymes for protein, carb, & DNA digestions
![Page 11: Digestive System Chapter 12. Alimentary Canal A muscular tube about 9 yards long which passes through the body’s ventral cavity](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083005/56649f1d5503460f94c348cf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Releases bicarbonate ions to neutralize acid in the small intestine

Liver…
Maintains blood sugar levels (converts glucose to glycogen)
Breaks down proteins (urea)
![Page 13: Digestive System Chapter 12. Alimentary Canal A muscular tube about 9 yards long which passes through the body’s ventral cavity](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083005/56649f1d5503460f94c348cf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Storage, detoxification, removes damaged blood cells

Produces bile—helps mix fats with
digested material, increases
absorption of fat-soluble vitamins

Small Intestine…
Duodenum:”C” shaped, connects sm. to stomach
Jejunum:
Ileum: lined with villi (increases surface area)
![Page 16: Digestive System Chapter 12. Alimentary Canal A muscular tube about 9 yards long which passes through the body’s ventral cavity](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083005/56649f1d5503460f94c348cf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Small Intestine…
Secretes mucus and watery fluids
Contain digestive enzymes to break down food
![Page 17: Digestive System Chapter 12. Alimentary Canal A muscular tube about 9 yards long which passes through the body’s ventral cavity](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083005/56649f1d5503460f94c348cf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Absorption! Active transport/facilitated diffusion
![Page 18: Digestive System Chapter 12. Alimentary Canal A muscular tube about 9 yards long which passes through the body’s ventral cavity](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083005/56649f1d5503460f94c348cf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Large Intestine…
Cecum: beginning of lg.
Colon: 4 portions: ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid
Rectum: anal canal, anus
![Page 19: Digestive System Chapter 12. Alimentary Canal A muscular tube about 9 yards long which passes through the body’s ventral cavity](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083005/56649f1d5503460f94c348cf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
No digestion
Secretes mucus, absorbs water with electrolytes
