1. THE DIGESTIVE AND
RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS
Autora: Marta García T.

2. HUMAN NUTRITION
 NUTRITION is the set of processes that allows the
body to obtain from food the substances (nutrients)
needed to live, transport them through the body, and
eliminate the toxic substances produced by our cells
when using those nutrients.

5. SYSTEMS INVOLVED IN NUTRITION
 Digestive System: transforms food into nutrients which
can be used by our cells.
 Respiratory System: captures oxygen and eliminates
carbon dioxide.
 Circulatory System: transports substances through the
body.
 Excretory System: eliminates waste susbtances
produced by our cells.

6. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Autora: Marta García T.

7. It transforms food into simpler useful substances
(nutrients ) so that cells can use them, and
eliminates the non digestive leftovers.
Autora: Marta García T.

8. Elements of the Digestive System
 Digestive Tract: 8 metres long, from mouth to anus.
 Accesory Glands: release substances into the digestive tract:
 Salivary Glands.
 Gastric Glands.
 Intestinal Glands.
 Liver.
 Pancreas.

11. DIGESTIVE PROCESSES
 Ingestion: taking in food. Mouth.
 Digestion: decomposing food into simpler
substances (nutrient) which can be used by our
cells. Mouth, stomach, small intestine. It can be:
 Mechanical Digestion.
 Chemical Digestion.
 Absorption: nutrients pass to the blood. Small
intestine.
 Egestion: expelling non-digested susbtances.
Large intestine.
Autora: Marta García T.

12. DIGESTION
We take in food through the mouth, where digestion
starts:
- Mechanical: Teeth (mastication) and Tongue (helps the food
bolus to be formed).
- Chemical: Insalivation: amylase in saliva starts digesting glucids.
FORMATION OF THE FOOD BOLUS

14. SWALLOWING
 The tongue movements
cause swallowing.
 The food bolus passes
through the pharynx to the
oesophagus.
 Once in the oesphagus,
peristaltic movements lead
the bolus to move
downwards to the stomach.
Autora: Marta García T.

15. STOMACH
 Both mechanical and chemical digestion take place in
the stomach.
Autora: Marta García T.

16.  Digestión Química:
 El estómago segrega jugos gástricos, sustancias químicas
ácidas que atacan y descomponen el alimento.
 Digestión Física:
 Las paredes del estómago tienen tejido muscular, lo que
permite que realice movimientos que contribuyen a mezclar
el bolo con los jugos gástricos.
La mezcla que sale del estómago se denomina QUIMO
(Chyme), y atraviesa el cardias para llegar al intestino delgado.
Autora: Marta García T.

17. SMALL INTESTINE
 It is about 6-7 metres long. It has three sections :
 Duodenum.
 Jejunum.
 Ileum.
Autora: Marta García T.

18. En el Duodeno continúa la digestión química del
alimento, por parte de tres sustancias:
 Los jugos intestinales que
segregan las propias paredes
del duodeno.
 La bilis, que es segregada por el
hígado y vertida al duodeno.
 Los jugos pancreáticos, que son
segregados por el páncreas y
vertidos al duodeno.
Autora: Marta García T.

19. Tras su paso por el duodeno, el alimento ya está
descompuesto totalmente en nutrientes, formando una
pasta que llamamos QUILO (Chyle).
Los nutrientes serán absorbidos por la sangre en los dos
tramos siguientes del intestino delgado (yeyuno e íleon),
y serán transportados a todas las células.

21. LARGE INTESTINE
 Once digestion is finished, undigested food passes to
the large intestine.
 Here, water and mineral salts are reabsorbed.
 Waste products are compacted to form faeces, which
are expelled through the anus.
 It has three sections:
- Caecum.
- Colon.
- Rectum.
Autora: Marta García T.

22. Match each organ with its function.

24. RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Autora: Marta García T.

25.  Through respiration our body gets the oxygen needed by all
cells to burn nutrients and produce the energy they need.
 At the same time, this process allows us to expell the
carbon dioxide our cells have produce when burning
nutrients.
 The respiratory system is made up of:
 The airways.
 The lungs.
