Digestive System
• This system is responsible for breaking down food into a useable form of energy for the body
![Page 5: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Alimentary Canal
• Path food travels through the body (your digestive tract)– From mouth to the anus
![Page 6: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Organs of the Digestive system
• Mouth– Digestion starts here– Mechanically breaks down food by the chewing
mechanism• Chewing is called mastication
– Here there are enzymes (present in saliva) that also aid in the break down of food• Enzymes are chemicals that simply break up
particles/bacteria/viruses… etc– Words ending in –ase are usually enzymes

• You have a trap door called the epiglottis to cover your windpipe when you swallow.
![Page 10: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Organs of the Digestive System
• Esophagus- muscular tube through which food travels to the stomach– Food moves along the digestive system by means
of a muscular movement called peristalsis• Peristalsis is an involuntary contraction (and
relaxation) of muscles in the digestive system that moves food along the alimentary canal
– At the beginning of the esophagus is a small flap (or gate-like structure) called the epiglottis that closes off the entrance to the trachea when you swallow

Stomach• A stretchy bag that
holds your food after you eat
• Helps to break food into smaller pieces so your body can use it for energy and nutrition
![Page 13: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Organs
• Stomach- muscular organ responsible for the further breakdown of nutrients– Mixing chamber and storage chamber• Chemical break down through stomach acid • Mechanical break down through churning/mixing
– No food is absorbed through the stomach wall (which is coated with mucus to prevent the stomach acid from “eating through” itself)

Small Intestine
• Tube that is 20 feet long.
• Continues to digest food
• Food stays in your small intestine for 4 to 8 hours
![Page 16: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Organs
• Small intestine- chemical digestion continues here; in fact, most of the chemical digestion occurs here along with NUTRIENT ABSORPTION!– From ~15 to 32 feet• Average 17 feet
– Has 3 sections• Duodenum-
– ~10 inches– digestive juice are secreted from intestine, pancreas and liver
are mixed with the food to further break it down
![Page 17: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Small intestine cont
• Pt 2– Jejunum- ~4 to 7 ft long• Food nutrients are absorbed here
• Pt 3– Ileum- ~5 to 7 feet long• More food absorption occurs here
![Page 18: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Small intestine
• Food absorption– Villi- small tube structures that cover the wall of
the small intestine• Used for food/nutrient absorption
– Food absorbed in the small intestine enters the blood stream in the capillaries and is transported throughout the body (to where needed)

Liver• Factory for antibodies and bile
• Stores vitamins and sugars until your body needs them
![Page 21: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Food Processors
• Liver- the largest internal organ– Functions as an aid to the digestive system in 2
ways• 1 through production of bile- yellowish-greenish fluid
used for digestion of fats in the small intestine• 2 to filter toxic substances from the body and it stores
excess glucose
![Page 22: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Gall Bladder• Storage tank for bile (a greenish-yellow liquid)
that helps your body break down and use fats
• Located under your liver
• Shaped like a pear

Large Intestine• Tube that is 5 feet long
• Gets waste from small intestine
• Waste stays for 10 to 12 hours
![Page 27: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Garbage Disposal
• Large Intestine/Colon – Measures about 5 feet long– This organ absorbs most of the water and some of
the remaining nutrients left from the food you ate– After food has finished its trip through the colon it
moves to the rectum and then anus to be excreted as fecal matter
![Page 28: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Large Intestine/Colon
• Also aids the immune system in that it contains healthy bacteria to fight off harmful bacteria (or microorganisms)– These bacteria also provide vitamins for the body

Functions of the Digestive System
• Digest the food we eat
• Take the nutrients out of your food so your body can use it
![Page 30: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Human Excretory System
![Page 31: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Excretory System• The kidneys regulate the amount of water, salts and
other substances in the blood. • The kidneys are fist-sized, bean shaped structures
that remove nitrogenous wastes (urine) and excess salts from the blood.
• The ureters are tubes that carry urine from the pelvis of the kidneys to the urinary bladder.
• The urinary bladder temporarily stores urine until it is released from the body.
• The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body.
• The outer end of the urethra is controlled by a circular muscle called a sphincter.

Kidneys• Two reddish organs just above the waist
behind the stomach• Filter the blood and removes waste
![Page 33: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Food Processors
• Gallbladder- located beneath the liver and stores the bile produced in the liver
• Pancreas- located behind the stomach and produces pancreatic juices– Pancreatic juices are sent to the small intestine to
aid in digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats
![Page 34: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The Job of the Kidneys
• They are responsible for cleaning the blood by removing metabolic wastes, excess solutes, and excess water and excreting them as urine
• Besides removing urea, it also removes excess salts or glucose, the remnants of drugs (reason for urine tests), and excess water.
![Page 35: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Function of the Kidney• The principal function of the kidney is to
filter blood in order to remove cellular waste products from the body.
• At any given time, 20 % of blood is in the kidneys. Humans can function with one kidney.
• If one ceases to work, the other increases in size to handle the workload.
![Page 36: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
NOTE
• Since the kidneys control what leaves and what remains in the nephrons, they maintain the levels of water, ions and other materials nearly constant and within the limits to maintain homeostasis.

Ureter• Connects the kidneys to the urinary bladder
![Page 42: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Nephron• Filtering unit of the
kidney• Blood enters full of
waste and leaves filtered
• Blood enters under high pressure and flows into the capillary beds
![Page 43: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Regulation of Water Levels
• If the blood becomes too dilute or too concentrated with solutes, then it can interfere with normal cellular activity.
• The kidneys are able to regulate water concentration in the blood by removing excess water if the blood is too dilute or conserving water in the blood if it is not dilute enough
![Page 44: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Waste Products
• Carbon dioxide – a waste product of cellular respiration is dumped into the blood stream and eventually removed by the lungs
• Ammonia (NH3) is removed through water– This waste comes from the cells breakdown of
old proteins – It is also what makes bleach smell so in high
concentrations it is poisonous to the cells and must be removed
![Page 45: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Formation of Urine
• If there is too much water in the blood, then it is removed and put in urine.
• If there is not enough water in the blood, the kidneys will not remove it.
• If there is too much urea or other solutes in the blood, the kidneys will remove these excess solutes.
• By regulating solute numbers and water volume, the kidneys normally maintain homeostasis in blood solute concentration.
![Page 46: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Why is excretion necessary?
• In order for cells to stay alive, they must continually intake water and other molecules.
• The cells would continue to get bigger and bigger if they only took in molecules
• They must also export molecules– These molecules may be important signaling
molecules such as hormones, or they may be molecules of glucose on their way to other cells, or they may be waste products of cellular metabolism that cells need to dispose.

Removal of Ammonia
• Once excreted into the blood stream by cells, it is carried to the liver where it is converted from ammonia into urea which is much less toxic
• It is then carried from the liver to the kidneys where it is removed
![Page 48: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Excretory System Problems
• Kidney stones – crystalized mineral salts and uric acid salts in the urine. Stones block flow of urine and cause excrutiating pain.
• Kidney failure - can be caused by long-term diabetes, infections, physical injuries, chemical poisoning. Causes toxic materials to build up to lethal levels. Dialysis or kidney transplant is the treatment.

Describe the functions of a person's urinary system
Rids the body of wastes, control blood volume, balances salts & water
![Page 50: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Explain how the kidneys remove wastes and keep fluids and salts in balance
Kidneys filter the blood to remove extra wastes, sugar, water, and salt. Sugar,
water, and salt still needed by the body is returned to the blood.
![Page 51: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Describe what happens when the urinary system does not function
properly.
Wastes are not removed. This causes the destruction of cells. Water not removed
causes swellings and too much water around the heart. Slats that are not taken away can
cause organ damage.
![Page 52: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Compare the excretory system and urinary system
The excretory system is made of all body organs that get rid of wastes. The urinary
system is made of organs that produce urine as a waste.
![Page 53: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
How is your urinary system similar to a water-purification system?
It serves as a filter to screen out harmful materials and helps get rid of
wastes in the blood
![Page 54: The Digestive and Excretory Systems. Objectives To list the organs of the digestive and excretory systems To describe the function of the organs of the](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c72346/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
When you drink a lot of water, you also need to urinate often. Why?
The job of the kidneys is to eliminate excess water and wastes. If you drink
more than your body needs, it is eliminated by the urinary system.
