WARM-UP NOVEMBER 9, 2014WHAT IS THIS? AND…WHAT DOES IT DO???

THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEMCHAPTER 24, PAGE

WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?THE DIGESTIVE TRACT INCLUDES THE MOUTH, PHARYNX, ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH, SMALL INTESTINE, AND LARGE INTESTINE.

THE LIVER, GALLBLADDER, PANCREAS, AND SALIVARY GLANDS ADD MATERIALS TO THE DIGESTIVE TRACT TO HELP BREAK DOWN FOOD.

VOCABULARY 1. MECHANICAL DIGESTION- THE PROCESS OF BREAKING DOWN

FOOD BY MASHING OR CRUSHING2. CHEMICAL DIGESTION-USING ENZYMES TO BREAK FOOD DOWN3. PANCREAS-ORGAN BETWEEN STOMACH AND SMALL INTESTINE

THAT MAKES FLUID FOR SMALL INTESTINE (SODIUM BICARBONATE, ENZYMES, HORMONES)

4. LIVER-REDISH/BROWN ORGAN FOUND ON RIGHT SIDE UNDER RIBS (MAKES BILE, STORES NUTRIENTS, BREAKS DOWN TOXINS)

5. GALLBLADDER—SACLIKE ORGAN STORING BILE (TO HELP BREAKDOWN FAT)

PROCESS OF DIGESTION1. MECHANICAL DIGESTION IN MOUTH (SALIVA)2. TONGUE PUSHES FOOD TO PHARYNX3. MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS (PERISTALSIS) SQUEEZES FOOD IN

ESOPHAGUS TO STOMACH4. IN STOMACH, ENZYMES ARE USED TO KILL BACTERIA AND BREAK FOOD

DOWN INTO NUTRIENTS (BOTH MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL DIGESTION) MAKING CHYME

5. CHYME ENTERS THE SMALL INTESTINE (WHERE NUTRIENTS ARE ABSORBED)

6. PANCREAS, LIVER, GALLBLADDER ADD ENZYMES TO FINISH DIGESTION7. LARGE INTESTINE ABSORBS WATER AND GETS RID OF WASTE

QUESTIONS IN-CLASS1. HOW DOES THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WORK WITH THE

CIRCULATORY (CARDIOVASCULAR) SYSTEM?2. WHAT ORGANS IN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM ARE NOT PART OF

THE DIGESTIVE TRACT?3. WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF SALIVA?4. NAME THREE PLACES IN THE DIGESTIVE TRACT WHERE

CHEMICAL DIGESTION TAKES PLACE.5. HOW DOES THE STRUCTURE OF THE SMALL INTESTINE HELP

IT ABSORB NUTRIENTS?
