  1. Chapter 24, part 1 The Digestive System

  2. Learning Objectives • Identify the organs of the digestive system and their major functions • Outline the mechanisms that regulate digestion • Describe the anatomy of the organs and accessory organs of the digestive system • Discuss the functions of the major structures and regions of the digestive system and discuss the regulation of their activities

  3. Learning Objectives • Explain the significance of the large intestine in the absorption of nutrients • Describe the events involved in the digestion of organic and inorganic nutrients • Summarize the effects of the aging process on the digestive system

  4. SECTION 24-1The Digestive System

  5. The Digestive system includes: • The muscular digestive tract • Various accessory organs

  6. Figure 24.1 The Components of the Digestive System Figure 24.1

  7. Functions of the digestive system • Ingestion • Mechanical processing • Digestion • Secretion • Absorption • Excretion

  8. The digestive system organs and the peritoneum • Mesenteries • Sheets of serous membranes that support portions of the digestive tract • Greater omentum lies anterior to abdominal viscera • Provides padding, protection, insulation, and energy reserves • Lesser omentum

  9. Figure 24.2 Mesenteries Figure 24.2a

  10. Figure 24.2 Mesenteries Figure 24.2b

  11. Figure 24.2 Mesenteries Figure 24.2c

  12. Figure 24.2 Mesenteries Figure 24.2d

  13. Histological organization of the digestive tract • Mucosa lines digestive tract (mucous epithelium) • Moistened by glandular secretions • Lamina propria and epithelium form mucosa • Submucosa • Layer of dense irregular connective tissue

  14. Histological organization of the digestive tract • Muscularis externa • Smooth muscle arranged in circular and longitudinal layers • adventitia • Serosa • Serous membrane covering most of the muscularis externa

  15. Figure 24.3 The Structure of the Digestive Tract Figure 24.3

  16. Movement of digestive materials • Visceral smooth muscle shows rhythmic cycles of activity • Pacemaker cells • Peristalsis • Waves that move a bolus • Segmentation • Churn and fragment a bolus

  17. Figure 24.4 Peristalsis Figure 24.4

  18. Control of the digestive system • Movement of materials along the digestive tract is controlled by: • Neural mechanisms • Parasympathetic and local reflexes • Hormonal mechanisms • Enhance or inhibit smooth muscle contraction • Local mechanisms • Coordinate response to changes in pH or chemical stimuli
