inside food vacuoles – simple animals

Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food vacuole, lysosomes secrete digestive enzymes to digest food.

More complex animals have digestive tract and use extracellular digestion

The mouth

Mechanical and chemical digestion Mechanical – chewing or mastication Chemical – saliva contains salivary

amylase which breaks down starch into maltose

Once chewed, the food is called a bolus

Food then moves through the pharynx into the esophagus

Food moves through involuntary muscle contractions called peristalsis

Stomach Anatomy

Regions of the stomach Cardiac region—near the heart Fundus—expanded portion lateral to the

cardiac region Body—midportion Pylorus—funnel-shaped terminal end

Rugae—internal folds of the mucosa Stomach can stretch and hold 4 L (1

gallon) of food when full

Page 8: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Stomach Physiology

Temporary storage tank for food Site of food breakdown by digestive

enzymes and HCl. Chemical breakdown of protein

begins by pepsin (pepsinogen into pepsin when pH is low)

Delivers chyme (processed food) to the small intestine

Page 9: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Structure of the Stomach Mucosa

Mucosa is simple columnar epithelium Mucous neck cells—produce a sticky

alkaline mucus Gastric glands—situated in gastric pits

and secrete gastric juice Chief cells—produce protein-digesting

enzymes (pepsinogens) Parietal cells—produce hydrochloric acid Enteroendocrine cells—produce gastrin

(hormone)

Small Intestine

The body’s major digestive organ Site of nutrient absorption into the

blood Muscular tube extending from the

pyloric sphincter to the ileocecal valve

Page 13: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Subdivisions of the Small Intestine

Duodenum Attached to the stomach Curves around the head of the pancreas

Jejunum Attaches anteriorly to the duodenum

Ileum Extends from jejunum to large intestine

Page 14: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Chemical Digestion in the Small Intestine

Chemical digestion begins in the small intestine Enzymes are produced by▪ Intestinal cells▪ Pancreas

Pancreatic ducts carry enzymes to the small intestine

Bile, formed by the liver, enters via the bile duct

Maltase, sucrase, lactase further break down carbs.

Pancreas

Produces a wide spectrum of digestive enzymes that break down all categories of food – trypsin, chymotrypsin (di-peptides), pancreatic lipase (fats), pancreatic amylase (disaccharides)

Nucleases break down nucleotides Enzymes are secreted into the duodenum Alkaline fluid introduced with enzymes

neutralizes acidic chyme coming from stomach Hormones produced by the pancreas

Insulin Glucagon

Liver

Largest gland in the body Located on the right side of the body

under the diaphragm

Page 18: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Bile

Produced by cells in the liver Bile leaves the liver through the

common hepatic duct Composition is

Bile salts Bile pigments (mostly bilirubin from the

breakdown of hemoglobin) Cholesterol Phospholipids Electrolytes

Page 19: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Bile

Function—emulsify fats by physically breaking large fat globules into smaller ones

Page 20: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Gallbladder

When no digestion is occurring, bile backs up the cystic duct for storage in the gallbladder

When digestion of fatty food is occurring, bile is introduced into the duodenum from the gallbladder

Gallstones are crystallized cholesterol which can cause blockages

Page 21: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Small Intestine Anatomy

Three structural modifications that increase surface area Microvilli—tiny projections of the plasma

membrane (create a brush border appearance)

Villi—fingerlike structures formed by the mucosa

Lacteals – part of the lymphatic system – absorb fatty acids

Digestive Hormones

Gastrin – stimulates stomach to make gastric juices

Secretin – stimulates pancreas to produce bicarbonate and digestive enzymes

Cholecystokinin – stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and the release of bile

Page 25: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Large intestine

Reabsorbes water and salt Bacteria live here that are useful for

digestion. They break down food and extract vitamins like vitamin K

Feces is undigested food that moves through the rectum.

Regulation of Pancreatic Juice Secretion

Secretin causes the liver to increase bile output

CCK causes the gallbladder to release stored bile Bile is necessary for fat absorption and

absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (K, D, A)

Page 28: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Upon reaching thepancreas, CCKinduces secretion ofenzyme-rich pancreaticjuice; secretin causessecretion of bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juice.

Stimulation by vagal nervefibers causes release ofpancreatic juice and weakcontractions of the gallbladder.

Secretin causes the liver tosecrete more bile; CCK stimulatesthe gallbladder to release storedbile and the hepatopancreaticsphincter to relax (allows bile toenter the duodenum).

Chyme enteringduodenum causes theenteroendocrine cellsof the duodenum torelease secretin andcholecystokinin (CCK).

CCK (red dots)and secretin (bluedots) enterbloodstream.

Teeth

Function is to masticate (chew) food Humans have two sets of teeth

Deciduous (baby or “milk”) teeth A baby has 20 teeth by age two First teeth to appear are the lower

central incisors

Page 31: Autotrophs vs. heterotrophs  Intracellular digestion – digestion inside food vacuoles – simple animals  Ex. Hydra ingests food, traps it in a food.

Teeth

Permanent teeth Replace deciduous teeth between the

ages of 6 and 12 A full set is 32 teeth, but some people do

not have wisdom teeth (third molars) If they do emerge, the wisdom teeth

appear between ages of 17 and 25

Classification of Teeth

Incisors—cutting Canines (eyeteeth)—tearing or

piercing Premolars (bicuspids)—grinding Molars—grinding
