Human Digestion
Nutrition
Process by which organisms obtain and utilize their food.
There are two parts to Nutrition:
1. Ingestion- process of taking food into the
digestive system so that it may be
hydrolized or digested.
2. Digestion- the breakdown of food (either
chemically or mechanically) in order to
utilize nutrients
Types of Nutrients
• Micronutrients- vitamins, minerals, & water
• Macronutrients- proteins, lipids,
carbohydrates, etc…
Human digestive
system
GI (gastrointestinal) tract = alimentary canal
Ingestion
• Mouth
– mechanical digestion
• teeth
– breaking up food
– chemical digestion
• saliva
– amylase
» enzyme digests starch
– mucin
» slippery protein (mucus)
» protects soft lining of digestive system
» lubricates food for easier swallowing
– buffers
» neutralizes acid to prevent tooth decay
– anti-bacterial chemicals
» kill bacteria that enter mouth with food
mouth
break up food
digest starch
kill germs
moisten food
Mouth
• Chemical and
mechanical
digestion.
• Food is chewed
(masticated)
mechanically.
• A bolus (lump) is
formed with saliva
and the tongue.
Swallowing (& not choking)
• Epiglottis
– flap of cartilage
– closes trachea (windpipe) when swallowing
– food travels down esophagus
• Peristalsis
– involuntary muscle contractions to move food along
Which type of digestion is the
following?
1. Chewing a saltine? -
2. Saliva breaking the saltine down into molecules of
glucose? -
3. Your tongue breaking pieces of a hamburger apart?
4. Pepsin (an enzyme) in your stomach breaking the
hamburger into amino acids?
Pharynx
• The back of the
throat.
• Larynx-
passage for air,
closes when we
swallow.
• Is approximately
15cm long.
Digestive Glands
• Groups of
specialized
secretory
cells.
• Found in the
lining of the
alimentary
canal or
accessory
organs.
• series of involuntary
wave-like muscle
contractions which
move food along the
digestive tract
Peristalsis
Stomach
• Food is temporarily
stored here.
• Gastric juices are
secreted.
• Has layers of
muscle that line the
inside.
• Mechanically and
chemically breaks
down food.
Stomach
• Functions
– food storage
• can stretch to fit ~2L food
– disinfect food
• HCl = pH 2
– kills bacteria
– chemical digestion
• pepsin
– enzyme breaks down proteins
But the stomach is made out of protein!
What stops the stomach from digesting itself?
mucus secreted by stomach cells protects
stomach lining
stomach
kills germs
break up food
digest proteins
store food
sphincter
sphincter
mouth
break up food
digest starch
kill germs
moisten food
Gastric Juices
• Secreted by the
stomach.
• Acidic (pH 1.5-2.5)
(HCl).
• Pepsin- an enzyme that
breaks down large
proteins into amino
acids.
• Food is further broken
down into a thin liquid
called chyme.
Accessory Organs
• Pancreas
• Gall Bladder
• Spleen
Gall bladder
• Pouch structure located near the liver
which concentrates and stores bile
• Bile duct – a long tube that carries BILE.
The top half of the common bile duct is
associated with the liver, while the bottom
half of the common bile duct is associated
with the pancreas, through which it passes
on its way to the intestine.
BILE
• Bile emulsifies lipids (physically breaks
apart FATS)
• Bile is a bitter, greenish-yellow alkaline
fluid, stored in the gallbladder between
meals and upon eating is discharged into
the duodenum where it aids the process of
digestion.
Pancreas
• An organ which secretes both digestive
enzymes (exocrine) and hormones (endocrine)
• ** Pancreatic juice digests all major nutrient
types.
• Nearly all digestion occurs in the small intestine
& all digestion is completed in the SI.
Pancreas
• Digestive enzymes
– digest proteins
• trypsin, chymotrypsin
– digest starch
• amylase
• Buffers
– neutralizes
acid from
stomach
Liver
• Function
– produces bile
• bile stored in gallbladder until needed
• breaks up fats
– act like detergents to breakup fats
bile contains
colors from old
red blood cells
collected in liver =
iron in RBC rusts &
makes feces brown
pancreas
produces enzymes to
digest proteins & starch
stomach
kills germs
break up food
digest proteins
store food
mouth
break up food
digest starch
kill germs
moisten food
liver
produces bile
- stored in gall bladder
break up fats
Small Intestine
• Most chemical
digestion takes place
here.
• Simple sugars and
proteins are absorbed
into the inner lining.
• Fatty acids and
glycerol go to lymphatic
system.
• Lined with villi, which
increase surface area for
absorption, one cell
thick.
Small intestine
• Function
– chemical digestion
• major organ of digestion & absorption
– absorption through lining
• over 6 meters!
• small intestine has huge surface area = 300m2
(~size of tennis court)
• Structure
– 3 sections
• duodenum = most digestion
• jejunum = absorption of nutrients & water
• ileum = absorption of nutrients & water
Duodenum
• 1st section of small intestines
– acid food from stomach
– mixes with digestive juices from:
 pancreas
 liver
 gall
bladder
stomach
kills germs
break up food
digest proteins
store food
mouth
break up food
digest starch
kill germs
moisten food
pancreas
produces enzymes to
digest proteins & starch
Absorption in the SI
• Much absorption is thought to occur directly through the wall
without the need for special adaptations
• Almost 90% of our daily fluid intake is absorbed in the small
intestine.
• Villi - increase the surface area of the small intestines, thus
providing better absorption of materials
Absorption by Small Intestines
• Absorption through villi & microvilli
– finger-like projections
– increase surface area for absorption
VILLI
Large intestines
(colon)
• Function
– re-absorb water
• use ~9 liters of water every
day in digestive juices
• > 90% of water reabsorbed
– not enough water absorbed
» diarrhea
– too much water absorbed
» constipation
Large Intestine
• Solid materials pass
through the large
intestine.
• These are undigestible
solids (fibers).
• Water is absorbed.
• Vitamins K and B are
reabsorbed with the
water.
• Rectum- solid wastes
exit the body.
You’ve got company!
• Living in the large intestine is a
community of helpful bacteria
– Escherichia coli (E. coli)
• produce vitamins
– vitamin K; B vitamins
• generate gases
– by-product of bacterial metabolism
– methane, hydrogen sulfide
Appendix
Vestigial organ
Rectum
• Last section of colon
(large intestines)
– eliminate feces
• undigested materials
– extracellular waste
» mainly cellulose
from plants
» roughage or fiber
– masses of bacteria
Digestive Homeostasis Disorders
• ULCERS – erosion of the surface of the
alimentary canal generally associated
with some kind of irritant
• CONSTIPATION – a
condition in which the
large intestine is emptied
with difficulty.
• Too much water is
reabsorbed
• and the solid waste
hardens
Digestive Homeostasis Disorders
Digestive Homeostasis
Disorders
• DIARRHEA – a gastrointestinal
disturbance characterized by
decreased water absorption and
increased peristaltic activity of
the large intestine.
• This results in increased,
multiple, watery feces.
• This condition may result in
severe dehydration, especially in
infants
Digestive Homeostasis
Disorders
• APPENDICITIS – an inflammation of
the appendix due to infection
• Common treatment is removal of the
appendix via surgery
Digestive Homeostasis
Disorders
• GALLSTONES – an accumulation of
hardened cholesterol and/or calcium
deposits in the gallbladder
• Can either be “passed” (OUCH!!) or
surgically removed
Digestive Homeostasis
Disorders
• ANOREXIA NERVOSA - a psychological
condition where an individual thinks they
appear overweight and refuses to eat.
• Weighs 85% or less than what is
developmentally expected for age and
height
• Young girls do not begin to menstruate at
the appropriate age.
Digestive Homeostasis
Disorders
• HEART BURN – ACID from the
stomach backs up into the esophagus.

  • 16. stomach kills germs break up food digest proteins store food sphincter sphincter mouth break up food digest starch kill germs moisten food
  • 17. Gastric Juices • Secreted by the stomach. • Acidic (pH 1.5-2.5) (HCl). • Pepsin- an enzyme that breaks down large proteins into amino acids. • Food is further broken down into a thin liquid called chyme.
  • 18.
  • 19. Accessory Organs • Pancreas • Gall Bladder • Spleen
  • 20. Gall bladder • Pouch structure located near the liver which concentrates and stores bile • Bile duct – a long tube that carries BILE. The top half of the common bile duct is associated with the liver, while the bottom half of the common bile duct is associated with the pancreas, through which it passes on its way to the intestine.
  • 21. BILE • Bile emulsifies lipids (physically breaks apart FATS) • Bile is a bitter, greenish-yellow alkaline fluid, stored in the gallbladder between meals and upon eating is discharged into the duodenum where it aids the process of digestion.
  • 22. Pancreas • An organ which secretes both digestive enzymes (exocrine) and hormones (endocrine) • ** Pancreatic juice digests all major nutrient types. • Nearly all digestion occurs in the small intestine & all digestion is completed in the SI.
  • 23. Pancreas • Digestive enzymes – digest proteins • trypsin, chymotrypsin – digest starch • amylase • Buffers – neutralizes acid from stomach
  • 24.
  • 25. Liver • Function – produces bile • bile stored in gallbladder until needed • breaks up fats – act like detergents to breakup fats bile contains colors from old red blood cells collected in liver = iron in RBC rusts & makes feces brown
  • 26. pancreas produces enzymes to digest proteins & starch stomach kills germs break up food digest proteins store food mouth break up food digest starch kill germs moisten food liver produces bile - stored in gall bladder break up fats
  • 27. Small Intestine • Most chemical digestion takes place here. • Simple sugars and proteins are absorbed into the inner lining. • Fatty acids and glycerol go to lymphatic system. • Lined with villi, which increase surface area for absorption, one cell thick.
  • 28. Small intestine • Function – chemical digestion • major organ of digestion & absorption – absorption through lining • over 6 meters! • small intestine has huge surface area = 300m2 (~size of tennis court) • Structure – 3 sections • duodenum = most digestion • jejunum = absorption of nutrients & water • ileum = absorption of nutrients & water
  • 29. Duodenum • 1st section of small intestines – acid food from stomach – mixes with digestive juices from:  pancreas  liver  gall bladder
  • 30. stomach kills germs break up food digest proteins store food mouth break up food digest starch kill germs moisten food pancreas produces enzymes to digest proteins & starch
  • 31. Absorption in the SI • Much absorption is thought to occur directly through the wall without the need for special adaptations • Almost 90% of our daily fluid intake is absorbed in the small intestine. • Villi - increase the surface area of the small intestines, thus providing better absorption of materials
  • 32. Absorption by Small Intestines • Absorption through villi & microvilli – finger-like projections – increase surface area for absorption
  • 33. VILLI
  • 34. Large intestines (colon) • Function – re-absorb water • use ~9 liters of water every day in digestive juices • > 90% of water reabsorbed – not enough water absorbed » diarrhea – too much water absorbed » constipation
  • 35. Large Intestine • Solid materials pass through the large intestine. • These are undigestible solids (fibers). • Water is absorbed. • Vitamins K and B are reabsorbed with the water. • Rectum- solid wastes exit the body.
  • 36. You’ve got company! • Living in the large intestine is a community of helpful bacteria – Escherichia coli (E. coli) • produce vitamins – vitamin K; B vitamins • generate gases – by-product of bacterial metabolism – methane, hydrogen sulfide
  • 38. Rectum • Last section of colon (large intestines) – eliminate feces • undigested materials – extracellular waste » mainly cellulose from plants » roughage or fiber – masses of bacteria
  • 39. Digestive Homeostasis Disorders • ULCERS – erosion of the surface of the alimentary canal generally associated with some kind of irritant
  • 40. • CONSTIPATION – a condition in which the large intestine is emptied with difficulty. • Too much water is reabsorbed • and the solid waste hardens Digestive Homeostasis Disorders
  • 41. Digestive Homeostasis Disorders • DIARRHEA – a gastrointestinal disturbance characterized by decreased water absorption and increased peristaltic activity of the large intestine. • This results in increased, multiple, watery feces. • This condition may result in severe dehydration, especially in infants
  • 42. Digestive Homeostasis Disorders • APPENDICITIS – an inflammation of the appendix due to infection • Common treatment is removal of the appendix via surgery
  • 43. Digestive Homeostasis Disorders • GALLSTONES – an accumulation of hardened cholesterol and/or calcium deposits in the gallbladder • Can either be “passed” (OUCH!!) or surgically removed
  • 44. Digestive Homeostasis Disorders • ANOREXIA NERVOSA - a psychological condition where an individual thinks they appear overweight and refuses to eat. • Weighs 85% or less than what is developmentally expected for age and height • Young girls do not begin to menstruate at the appropriate age.
  • 45. Digestive Homeostasis Disorders • HEART BURN – ACID from the stomach backs up into the esophagus.
