THE ALIMENTARY TRACT
A long muscular tube with many
sections and areas.
Begins with the oral cavity and ends
with the anus.
Слайд 3
THE ALIMENTARY TRACT
Oral cavity(Cavum oris)
Pharynx
Esophagus
Stomach
Small Intestine (intestinum
tenue)
Large Intestine (colon)
Anus
Слайд 4
ACCESSORY PARTS
Organs that are not in the Alimentary
tract but helps in the digestion
Teeth
Tongue
Salivary glands
Liver
Gall
bladder
Pancreas
Слайд 5
ORAL CAVITY (CAVUM ORIS)
Functions:
Food enters in the
mouth or oral cavity
Tasting
Mechanical breakdown of food
Secretion of salivary glands (salivary amylase)
Слайд 6
MOUTH
Structures in the mouth that aids digestion:
Teeth
– cut, tear, crush and grind food.
Salivary glands
– produce and secrete saliva into the oral cavity.
Parotid (beneath the cheeks)
Submaxillary (below the jaw bone)
Sublingual (below the tongue)
Слайд 7
MECHANISM OF SWALLOWING
Swallowing is a coordinated activity of
the tongue, soft palate, pharynx and esophagus.
Phases
Food is pushed
into the pharynx by the tongue. (voluntary)
Tongue blocks the mouth
Soft palate closes off the nose
Larynx (Adam’s Apple) rises so the Epiglottis (a flap of tissue) can close the opening of the trachea.
Слайд 8
ESOPHAGUS
A straight muscular tube that is about 25
cm long which connects the mouth with the stomach
Food
takes about 4 to 8 seconds as it passes through to the stomach.
Its walls contain smooth muscles that contracts in wavy motion (Peristalsis).
Peristalsis propels food and liquid slowly down the esophagus into the stomach.
Cardiac Sphincter (ring-like valve) relaxes to allow food into the stomach.
Слайд 9
STOMACH
J-shaped muscular sac
Has inner folds (rugae) that increases
the surface area of the stomach.
Churns and grinds together
the bolus into smaller pieces.
Food is mixed with gastric juices (hydrochloric acid and enzymes) secreted by the stomach walls.
HCL helps break down food and kills bacteria that came along with the food.

A large double fold of visceral peritoneum called the greater omentumThe stomach lies between the esophagus and the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). It is in the left upper part of the abdominal cavity. The top of the stomach lies against the diaphragm. Lying behind the stomach is the pancreas. A large double fold of visceral peritoneum called the greater omentum hangs down from the greater curvature of the stomach.
Two sphincters keep the contents of the stomach contained; the lower esophageal sphincterTwo sphincters keep the contents of the stomach contained; the lower esophageal sphincter (found in the cardiac region), at the junction of the oesophagus and stomach, and the pyloric sphincter at the junction of the stomach with the duodenum.

BLOOD SUPPLY
The lesser curvature of the stomach is
supplied by the right gastric arteryThe lesser curvature of
the stomach is supplied by the right gastric artery inferiorly, and the left gastric arteryThe lesser curvature of the stomach is supplied by the right gastric artery inferiorly, and the left gastric artery superiorly, which also supplies the cardiac region. The greater curvature is supplied by the right gastro-omental arteryThe lesser curvature of the stomach is supplied by the right gastric artery inferiorly, and the left gastric artery superiorly, which also supplies the cardiac region. The greater curvature is supplied by the right gastro-omental artery inferiorly and the left gastro-omental artery superiorly. The fundus of the stomach, and also the upper portion of the greater curvature, is supplied by the short gastric artery which arises from the splenic artery.
Слайд 14
SMALL INTESTINE
Long (5-6m), coiled tube beneath the stomach.
Has
three parts:
Duodenum – upper part; 20-30Cc ; connected to
the stomach.
– where the digestive juices from the pancreas and the liver combine with chyme making it thin and watery.
Jejunum – about 100-110cm
Ileum – about 150-160cm
Слайд 15
SMALL INTESTINE

absorption

DUODENUM
The duodenum is a short structure (about 20–25 cm
long) continuous with the stomach and shaped like a
"C".[7] It surrounds the head of the pancreas. It receives gastric chyme It surrounds the head of the pancreas. It receives gastric chyme from the stomach, together with digestive juices from the pancreas It surrounds the head of the pancreas. It receives gastric chyme from the stomach, together with digestive juices from the pancreas (digestive enzymes It surrounds the head of the pancreas. It receives gastric chyme from the stomach, together with digestive juices from the pancreas (digestive enzymes) and the gall bladder It surrounds the head of the pancreas.

It receives gastric chyme from the stomach, together with digestive juices from the pancreas (digestive enzymes) and the gall bladder (bile). The digestive enzymes break down proteins and bile and emulsify fats into micelles. The duodenum contains Brunner's glands It surrounds the head of the pancreas. It receives gastric chyme from the stomach, together with digestive juices from the pancreas (digestive enzymes) and the gall bladder (bile). The digestive enzymes break down proteins and bile and emulsify fats into micelles. The duodenum contains Brunner's glands, which produce a mucus-rich alkaline secretion containing bicarbonate. These secretions, in combination with bicarbonate from the pancreas, neutralizes the stomach acids contained in gastric chyme.

JEJENUM
The jejunum is the midsection of the small
intestine, connecting the duodenum to the ileum. It is
about 2.5 m long, and contains the plicae circulares is the midsection of the small intestine, connecting the duodenum to the ileum. It is about 2.5 m long, and contains the plicae circulares, and villi is the midsection of the small intestine, connecting the duodenum to the ileum. It is about 2.5 m long, and contains the plicae circulares, and villi that increase its surface area. Products of digestion (sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids) are absorbed into the bloodstream here. The suspensory muscle of duodenum marks the division between the duodenum and the jejunum.
