Nutrition in animals

• Animal nutrition- Different


organisms use different methods to
take food. Each animal has some
special structure on their body to
take food and utilize it.
• Digestion- The process of breakdown
of complex food substances into
simple form
Digestion in humans
• In multi-cellular organisms the
digestion take place in various
organs are called digestive
system. These organs together
form a long path called the
digestive track or alimentary
canal
Human digestive system
1. Buccal cavity (mouth)- Food enters
the body through mouth. The
process of taking in food is called
ingestion . Buccal cavity has three
main parts-
1 . Teeth
2 . Tongue
3 . Salivary glands
• Teeth- There are 4 types of teeth in
our mouth. Incisors, Canines, Molars
and Premolars are these.
• Tongue- It helps to roll the food
• Salivary glands- They secrete saliva
which converts starch
(carbohydrates) present in the food
into sugar
Digestion in humans
• 2. Esophagus- The swallowed food
passes into food pipe and is pushed
down by movement of the wall of the
food pipe by contraction and
expansion. This movement is called
peristalsis . From here the food reach
the stomach
Digestion in humans
• Stomach- It is the widest part of
alimentary canal. The inner lining of
the stomach secrete mucus,
digestive juices and hydrochloric
acid. Mucus protect the stomach and
the hydrochloric acid kill many
bacteria and make medium acidic in
stomach. Digestive juices breakdown
proteins into simple substances.
Digestion in humans
• Small intestine- It is a long , coiled ,
narrow tube about 7.5 m long. It is a
place where partially digested food of
stomach get mixed with digestive juices
from liver and pancreas. Gall bladder of
liver secrete bile juice and pancreas
secrete pancreatic juice. In the small
intestine Carbohydrates, Fats and
Proteins are converted into simple form.
