Transcript The Digestive System Tutorial

The Digestive System Tutorial
This tutorial was generously funded by a HCC Foundation Grant.
The Digestive System Tutorial
• The digestive system is a complex system that
functions to ingest & break down food, absorb
nutrients, and excrete waste products.
• This tutorial will provide an opportunity to
study the anatomy of the digestive system on
the models from the A&P laboratory.

Digestive Organs Tutorial
• The digestive system consists of two types of
organs. Organs that form a tube in which the
food passes through to be processed (this
tube is termed the alimentary canal), and
organs that food does not pass through but
are essential for the functioning of this
system. These organs are termed accessory
organs.

Digestive Organs Tutorial
• You are responsible for correctly indentifying
numerous structures of the digestive system.

• The next slide will give you a list of laboratory
models you can study. Choose (by clicking on)
the one you would like to study and move
your mouse over the structure to identify it.
