DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Human digestive system, the system used in the human
body for the process of digestion. The human digestive
system consists primarily of the digestive tract, or the
series of structures and organs through which
food and liquids pass during their processing into
forms absorbable into the bloodstream. The system
also consists of the structures through which wastes
pass in the process of elimination and other organs
that contribute juices necessary for the digestive
process.
MOUTH
Teeth- The teeth are hard, white structures found in the
mouth. They help us in chewing the food before swallowing.
Tongue-the tongue helps us in speaking and tasting. It has
specialized cells known as taste buds.
Salivary glands-Food is tasted and mixed with saliva that is
secreted by several sets of glands known as salivary glands.
OESOPHAGUS
Esophagus is located in your throat near your trachea
(windpipe), the esophagus receives food from your
mouth when you swallow. By means of a series of
muscular contractions called peristalsis, the esophagus
delivers food to your stomach. It is also known as food
pipe.
LIVER
The liver has multiple functions, but its main function
within the digestive system is to process the
nutrients absorbed from the small intestine. It takes
the raw materials absorbed by the intestine and
makes all the various chemicals the body needs to
function. It breaks down and secretes many drugs. It
secretes bile juice.
STOMACH
The stomach is a hollow organ or container that holds
food while it is being mixed with enzymes that
continue the process of breaking down food into a
usable form. When the contents of the stomach are
sufficiently processed, they are released into the small
intestine. It secretes gastric juice.
PANCREAS
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the
duodenum, the first segment of the small intestine.
These enzymes break down protein, fats, and
carbohydrates. The pancreas also makes insulin,
secreting it directly into the bloodstream. It secretes
bile juice.
SMALL INTESTINE
Contents of the small intestine start out semi-solid, and
end in a liquid form after passing through the organ.
Water, bile, enzymes, and mucous contribute to the
change in consistency. Once the nutrients have been
absorbed and the leftover-food residue.
LARGE INTESTINE
The large intestine is always in vertebrate animals. Its
function is to absorb water from the remaining
indigestible food matter, and then to pass
useless waste material from the body. The large
intestine is about 4.9 feet long, which is about onefifth of the whole length of the intestinal canal.
RECTUM
The rectum (Latin for "straight") is an 8-inch chamber
that connects the colon to the anus. . When anything
(gas or stool) comes into the rectum, sensors send a
message to the brain. The brain then decides if the
rectal contents can be released or not.
ANUS
The anus is the last part of the digestive tract. It is a 2inch long canal. The lining of the upper anus is
specialized to detect rectal contents. It lets you know
whether the contents are liquid, gas, or solid. The anus
is surrounded by sphincter muscles that are important
in allowing control of stool.
