The Digestive System
• In this unit, we will discuss the body’s processing of food.
• This process prepares nutrients so that they can be used by each cell.
The Digestive System
-Body cells cannot absorb nutrients from food.
-Food must be changed into a substance that the body cells can use.
Cells cannot
absorb nutrients in
this Form.

The purpose of saliva is to help dissolve food and coat food with a mucus that allows it to pass through
the esophagus.

Stomach
The stomach holds food until digestive juices have chemically broken down the food into chyme.

Chyme- a creamy semi-fluid mixture of food and digestive juices.

Small Intestine
The small intestine is divided into three major regions: The Duodnum, jejunum, and ileum
The Digestive System
.
Duodnum
The first 10-12 inches of the small intestines is called the duodnum.
The Digestive System
. The duodnum receives juices from the pancreas
-It’s about 6 inches long
-Located behind the stomach
The Digestive System
. The duodnum receives juices from the pancreas, liver
-It’s about 6 inches long
-Located behind the stomach
-Largest solid organ in the body
- Produces bile
- Regulates the release of bile
From the gallbladder.

From the gallbladder.-Pear Shaped
- When full it is 8 centimeters long
by 4 centimeters in diameter.
- Stores and releases bile.

breakdown of the chyme. This final chemical breakdown is the completion of digestion.
