 Made up of the
gastrointestinal tract, and
the liver, pancreas, and
gallbladder.

Digestion is important
because your body needs
nutrients from food and drink

Addition flora or microbiome,

help with digestion.
Set of organs
responsible for the
process of digestion
The digestive system chemically breaks down nutrients into
parts small enough that the body can absorb nutrients and use
them for energy, growth and cell repair.

 Mouth

The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract; and, in fact, digestion starts here when

Esophagus
taking the first bite of food.
Structures
Located in your throat near your trachea, the esophagus receives food from your mouth
when you swallow.

Stomach

Is a hollow organ, or "container," that holds food while it is being mixed with enzymes that
continue the process of breaking down food into a usable form.

Small intestine
Made up of three segments - the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum - the small intestine is a 22-foot
long muscular tube that breaks down food using enzymes released by the pancreas and bile
from the liver.
 PANCREAS
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes in the duodenum, it also produces insulin, secreting it directly into
the bloodstream.

LIVER
The liver has multiple functions, but its main function within the digestive system is to process the nutrients
absorbed from the small intestine.

COLON (LARGE INTESTINE)

The large intestine is a highly specialized organ that is responsible for processing waste so that emptying the
bowels is easy and convenient.

RECTUM
It is the rectum's job to receive stool from the colon, to let the person know that there is stool to be evacuated,
and to hold the stool until evacuation happens.
FOOD METABOLISM
• The nutrition of the body depends on the
diet.
• The enzymes degrade food to simpler
substances.
• The enzymes are located in different parts
of the bodyand fulfill specific functions.
• What the body needs will be absorbed in
the small intestine.
ENZYMOLOGY
• Salivary amylase is present in the mouth and
degrades carbohydrates in disaccharides.
• Pepsin is present in the stomach where in an
acid médium they break down proteins to
amino acid chains.
• In the small intestine are the pancreatic
amylase and the lipase that end up
degrading carbohydrates and lipids
respectively.
ENZYMOLOGY
• Also in the small intestine are the endonucleses that degrades DNA
and RNA to be absorbed.
