Components of the Digestive System
All digestive organs play integral roles in the life-sustaining process of digestion.

Digestive Processes
The digestive processes are ingestion, propulsion, mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption, and defecation.

Pharynx
The pharynx runs from the nostrils to the esophagus and the larynx.
![Page 14: THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042608/55c843c0bb61eb120f8b479d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FIGURE 23.13
Esophagus
The upper esophageal sphincter controls the movement of food from the pharynx to the esophagus. The lower esophageal sphincter controls the movement of food from the esophagus to the stomach.
![Page 15: THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042608/55c843c0bb61eb120f8b479d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
FIGURE 23.14
Deglutition
Deglutition includes the voluntary phase and two involuntary phases: the pharyngeal phase and the esophageal phase.
![Page 16: THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042608/55c843c0bb61eb120f8b479d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
FIGURE 23.15
Stomach
The stomach has four major regions: the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus. The addition of an inner oblique smooth muscle layer gives the muscularis the ability to vigorously churn and mix food.
![Page 17: THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042608/55c843c0bb61eb120f8b479d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
FIGURE 23.16
Histology of the Stomach
The stomach wall is adapted for the functions of the stomach. In the epithelium, gastric pits lead to gastric glands that secrete gastric juice. The gastric glands (one gland is shown enlarged on the right) contain different types of cells that secrete a variety of enzymes, including hydrochloride acid, which activates the protein-digesting enzyme pepsin.
![Page 18: THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042608/55c843c0bb61eb120f8b479d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
FIGURE 23.17
The Three Phases of Gastric Secretion
Gastric secretion occurs in three phases: cephalic, gastric, and intestinal. During each phase, the secretion of gastric juice can be stimulated or inhibited.

FIGURE 23.20
Segmentation
Segmentation separates chyme and then pushes it back together, mixing it and providing time for digestion and absorption.

Accessory Organs
The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are considered accessory digestive organs, but their roles in the digestive system are vital.
![Page 26: THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042608/55c843c0bb61eb120f8b479d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
FIGURE 23.25
Microscopic Anatomy of the Liver
The liver receives oxygenated blood from the hepatic artery and nutrient-rich deoxygenated blood from the hepatic portal vein.
![Page 27: THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042608/55c843c0bb61eb120f8b479d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
FIGURE 23.26
Exocrine and Endocrine Pancreas
The pancreas has a head, a body, and a tail. It delivers pancreatic juice to the duodenum through the pancreatic duct.
![Page 28: THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042608/55c843c0bb61eb120f8b479d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
FIGURE 23.27
Gallbladder
The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, and releases it into the two-way cystic duct when it is needed by the small intestine.
![Page 29: THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042608/55c843c0bb61eb120f8b479d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
FIGURE 23.28
Digestion and Absorption
Digestion begins in the mouth and continues as food travels through the small intestine. Most absorption occurs in the small intestine.

FIGURE 23.32
Digestive Secretions and Absorption of Water
Absorption is a complex process, in which nutrients from digested food are harvested.

FIGURE 23.33
Lipid Absorption
Unlike amino acids and simple sugars, lipids are transformed as they are absorbed through epithelial cells.
