  7. 3 Main Functions • a. Digestion – breakdown of foods within stomach and intestines for use by body’s cells • b. Absorption – passage of digested food from digestive tract into blood • c. Elimination – body’s expulsion of undigested food or body wastes.

  9. The Digestive Process - Mouth • a. Teeth break food you eat into smaller pieces • b. Mastication – the process of chewing • c. Saliva is produced by salivary glands. Saliva contains an enzyme that breaks down food in the mouth – Amylase.

  10. The Digestive Process - Mouth • d. Tongue – shapes and prepares food for swallowing • Make sure to brush tongue to avoid bad breath!!!

  11. The Digestive Process – The Throat • a.The uvula – small flap of tissue at the back of the throat that prevents food from going to the nasal passages • b.The epiglottis – flap of tissue which covers the throat, preventing food from entering your airways.

  12. The Digestive Process – The Throat • c. When food is swallowed, it enters the esophagus– a 10 inch tube that connects the throat to the stomach • d.Peristalsis– series of involuntary muscle contractions that move food through the digestive system • e. (similar to squeezing a tube of toothpaste from the bottom up)

  15. The Digestive Process - Intestines • a. from the stomach, food moves into small intestines • 20-23 feet long, 1 inch in diameter • This is where most of the nutrients from food are absorbed into the body!!! • b. inner lining contains villi – tiny fingerlike projections that help absorb nutrients

  16. The Digestive Process - Intestines • c. any unabsorbed material goes from the small intestine into the large intestine • d. here water is absorbed; helps to eliminate waste • e. undigested food passes through the large intestine; or the colon • f. exited through the anus
