Digestive System: Presented By: Areeba Aqil 15-B.ED-14 B.Ed Iv Semester GC-9755

The document summarizes the human digestive system. It describes the main components of the digestive tract, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. It also outlines the major steps in digestion, from ingestion to the role of different organs and glands. Key digestive enzymes produced in different parts of the tract that aid in breaking down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are also identified. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of a healthy digestive system for overall immune function.

INTRODUCTION
Nmm
Digestive system is a
system by which
ingested food is acted
upon by physical and
chemical means to
provide the body with
absorbable nutrients &
to excrete waste material.
STEPS INVOLVED IN DIGESTION
INGESTION
COMPONENTS OF HUMAN
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
 It consists of the ALIMENTARY CANAL(Gastro-Intestinal
Tract) & associated glands.
 Alimentary canal is a long tube of 9m ,consists various
organs:
i. Mouth
ii. Buccal Cavity
iii. Esophagus
iv. Stomach
v. Small intestine
vi. Large intestine
 Associated glands are-Salivary glands, Liver & Pancreas.
MOUTH
 Upper most opening of Human
Digestive Tract.

 Bounded by labia.

 Guides passage for ingestion of food


& leads to buccal cavity.

 Salivary glands present produces


saliva(help in chemical digestion)
BUCCAL CAVITY
 Also known as oral cavity.

 Formed by cheeks, hard & soft palates and tongue.


o PALATE: roof of buccal cavity
o TONGUE: present on the floor of buccal cavity
o TEETH: hard structure in the buccal cavity

 Teeth help in physical digestion.


ESOPHAGUS
 Long & muscular tube of about 25
cm.

 Known as gullet or food pipe.

 Secretes mucus.

 Contain muscles which can contract


or expand alternately.

 Conveys chewed food from mouth to


stomach through peristaltic
movement.
STOMACH
 Small J-shaped organ.

 Glands present in it secrete gastric


juices( HCl, Pepsin, Mucus).

 Pepsin helps in the digestion of


proteins.

 HCl makes the medium acidic ,


activate the pepsin & kills the bacteria
present in the food.

 Mucus protect the stomach wall form


its own secretion of HCl.
SMALL INTESTINE
 Largest part of alimentary
canal, of about6.5m.

 Contains finger like


projections called villi
which increases surface area.

 Divided into 3 parts-


duodenum, jejunum &
ileum.

 Main region for the


absorption of food.
LARGE INTESTINE
 Differentiated into 4 parts :
caecum ,colon , rectum &
anus.

 Absorb water from the


waste leftover material.

 All leftover waste is stored


in the rectum.

 When full, faeces passes


out through the anus.
MAJOR DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
ENZYME PRODUCED IN SITE OF RELEASE

Carbohydrate
Digestion:
1. Salivary amylase Salivary Glands Mouth
2. Pancreatic amylase Pancreas Small intestine

3. Maltase Small intestine Small intestine

Protein Digestion:
1. Pepsin Gastric glands Stomach

2.Trypsin Pancreas Small intestine

3. Peptidases Small intestine Small intestine

Fat Digestion:
1. Lipase Pancreas Small intestine
PROCESS OF DIGESTION
FACT
80% of our immune system is located in
our digestive tract, making a healthy a
gut a major focal point if we want to
achieve optimal health
