Digestion

DIGESTIONS ------­---­---­--> process of breaking down complex orgainc molecules to be absorbed and utilized in body
(1) Physic­al/­Mec­hanical Digestion
(2) Chemical Digestion - w/ enzymes
compents - ingestion, digestion, absorption (into tissue), egestion
Perist­alsis - muscle contra­ctions (mecha­nical digest)
Gland - (endoc­rine: secrete into blood, eg. hormone - pituatary) + (exocrine- secrete into own ducts, eg. salivary)
OVERVIEW
(A) food -> ATP for tissue and body func
(B) food(p­oylmer) ---hyd­rolysis + enzyme­s--­-> monomers
(C) Protection - mucosa lining + enzyme activation in digestive tract
(D) Gastro­int­estinal tract (food tube) - Oral cavity, Pharynx, Esphagous, Stomach, SI, LI
(E) Accessory Organs - teeth+­tounge, salivary glands, liver, pancreas, gall bladder

Oral digestion

TOUNGE - move food around, assists in swallo­wing, taste buds
SOFT PALATE + UVULA -
TEETH - mechanical
SALIVARY BATERIA - has enzyme­s(chem digest), pH 6-7, 1st chem digest of polysa­cca­rides
PHARYNX - treach­a(wind pipe) +eplig­lottis, esophagus - mucoous lines, uses peristalis to move food to stomach
