1 Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Slides 14.1 – 14.20 Seventh Edition Elaine N. Marieb Chapter 14 The Digestive System and Body Metabolism Lecture Slides in PowerPoint by Jerry L. Cook

2 The Digestive System and Body Metabolism Slide 14.1 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Digestion  Breakdown of ingested food  Absorption of nutrients into the blood  Metabolism  Production of cellular energy (ATP)  Constructive and degradative cellular activities

3 Organs of the Digestive System Slide 14.2a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Two main groups  Alimentary canal – continuous coiled hollow tube  Accessory digestive organs

4 Organs of the Digestive System Slide 14.2b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 14.1

5 Organs of the Alimentary Canal Slide 14.3 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Mouth  Pharynx  Esophagus  Stomach  Small intestine  Large intestine  Anus

6 Mouth (Oral Cavity) Anatomy Slide 14.4 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Lips (labia) – protect the anterior opening  Cheeks – form the lateral walls  Hard palate – forms the anterior roof  Soft palate – forms the posterior roof  Uvula – fleshy projection of the soft palate Figure 14.2a

7 Mouth (Oral Cavity) Anatomy Slide 14.5 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Vestibule – space between lips externally and teeth and gums internally  Oral cavity – area contained by the teeth  Tongue – attached at hyoid and styloid processes of the skull, and by the lingual frenulum Figure 14.2a

8 Mouth (Oral Cavity) Anatomy Slide 14.6 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Tonsils  Palatine tonsils  Lingual tonsil Figure 14.2a

9 Processes of the Mouth Slide 14.7 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Mastication (chewing) of food  Mixing masticated food with saliva  Initiation of swallowing by the tongue  Allowing for the sense of taste

10 Pharynx Anatomy Slide 14.8 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Nasopharynx – not part of the digestive system  Oropharynx – posterior to oral cavity  Laryngopharynx – below the oropharynx and connected to the esophagus Figure 14.2a

11 Pharynx Function Slide 14.9 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Serves as a passageway for air and food  Food is propelled to the esophagus by two muscle layers  Longitudinal inner layer  Circular outer layer  Food movement is by alternating contractions of the muscle layers (peristalsis)

12 Esophagus Slide 14.10 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Runs from pharynx to stomach through the diaphragm  Conducts food by peristalsis (slow rhythmic squeezing)  Passageway for food only (respiratory system branches off after the pharynx)

13 Layers of Alimentary Canal Organs Slide 14.11a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Mucosa  Innermost layer  Moist membrane  Surface epithelium  Small amount of connective tissue (lamina propria)  Small smooth muscle layer

14 Layers of Alimentary Canal Organs Slide 14.11b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Submucosa  Just beneath the mucosa  Soft connective tissue with blood vessels, nerve endings, and lymphatics

15 Layers of Alimentary Canal Organs Slide 14.12 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Muscularis externa – smooth muscle  Inner circular layer  Outer longitudinal layer  Serosa  Outermost layer – visceral peritoneum  Layer of serous fluid-producing cells

16 Layers of Alimentary Canal Organs Slide 14.13 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 14.3

17 Alimentary Canal Nerve Plexuses Slide 14.14 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  All are part of the autonomic nervous system  Three separate networks of nerve fibers  Submucosal nerve plexus  Myenteric nerve plexus  Subserous plexus

18 Stomach Anatomy Slide 14.15a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Located on the left side of the abdominal cavity  Food enters at the cardioesophageal sphincter

19 Stomach Anatomy Slide 14.15b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Regions of the stomach  Cardiac region – near the heart  Fundus  Body  Phylorus – funnel-shaped terminal end  Food empties into the small intestine at the pyloric sphincter

20 Stomach Anatomy Slide 14.16a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Rugae – internal folds of the mucosa  External regions  Lesser curvature  Greater curvature

21 Stomach Anatomy Slide 14.16b Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Layers of peritoneum attached to the stomach  Lesser omentum – attaches the liver to the lesser curvature  Greater omentum – attaches the greater curvature to the posterior body wall  Contains fat to insulate, cushion, and protect abdominal organs

22 Stomach Anatomy Slide 14.17 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Figure 14.4a

23 Stomach Functions Slide 14.18 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Acts as a storage tank for food  Site of food breakdown  Chemical breakdown of protein begins  Delivers chyme (processed food) to the small intestine

24 Specialized Mucosa of the Stomach Slide 14.19 Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Simple columnar epithelium  Mucous neck cells – produce a sticky alkaline mucus  Gastric glands – secrete gastric juice  Chief cells – produce protein-digesting enzymes (pepsinogens)  Parietal cells – produce hydrochloric acid  Endocrine cells – produce gastrin

25 Structure of the Stomach Mucosa Slide 14.20a Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings  Gastric pits formed by folded mucosa  Glands and specialized cells are in the gastric gland region
