2. Jimi Hendrix was a guitar player in the
60s and early 70s. He overdosed on
Verperex a sedative containing
barbiturates and antihistamines while
drinking red wine. Jimi took 7 times the
recommended dose of these deadly
drugs. The reason these drugs are so
dangerous are they enter the central
nervous system through the small
intestine with the alcohol and can
cause the central nervous system to
shut down. Jimi was pronounced dead
by suffocating on his own vomit.

3. Function Of The Digestive System
The function of the digestive system is to
digest food that is consumed. Organs
included in the digestive system are the
mouth , esophagus, stomach, small
intestine, pancreas , liver
, gallbladder, large intestine, rectum and
anus.

4. Mouth-used to consume food.
Esophagus-used to transport food to the stomach.
Stomach-holds and digests food.
Small intestine-absorbs nutrients into the blood stream and
aids in further digestion.
Pancreas-secretes enzymes used for digestion.
Liver-processes nutrients absorbed by intestines and
detoxifies harmful chemical including alcohol and drugs.
Gallbladder-stores and concentrates bile.
Large intestine-transports stools to rectum.
Rectum-holds stool until needed.
Anus-stops stool from leaving unless needed.

5. The food is first consumed through the mouth of
the person. After chewing the food is swallowed
and travels through the esophagus to the
stomach. In the stomach the food is digested by
stomach acids before entering the small
intestine. In the small and large intestine the
food is further digested and the nutrients are
later absorbed into the blood stream. When the
digestion is complete, the feces are disposed of
by the anus.

6. Interactions With Other Organ Systems
The digestive system interacts with all of the organ
systems in the Human body, because without
nutrition the body cannot function. These
organs include the urinary system ,muscular
system, nervous system and circulatory system.
Urinary-creates liquid waste through digestion
Muscular-muscles must contract for digestion to
occur
Nervous system-circulatory system transports
nutrients to the brain created by digestion
Circulatory system – transports nutrients to all
parts of the body

7. Many forms of specialized cells are found
in the digestive system . These cells do
everything from secreting mucus and
acids used in digestion . An example of
this is the cells in the stomach acids used
for the digestion of food .Another
example is the saliva cells secreted from
the salivary glands in the mouth.

8. • Public health campaigns that have to do
with the digestive system are programs
that help teens learn about the troubles
of drug and alcohol. Examples of these
programs are D.A.R.E. and Race Against
Drugs. There are also programs for
adults like Alcoholics anonymous.

system of a frog to the
digestive system of a
human. The main
differences other than the
size of the organs are there
is no villi in the small
intestine of a frog. Also that
the frog does not have an
anus, it has a multipurpose
hole called the cloaca.
