    Uploaded by

    api-307592530
    The document provides an overview of the digestive system and cell specialization through a series of questions and topics. It discusses how specialized cells like bone and skin cells have specific purposes, and how the hierarchy of structure progresses from cells to tissues to organs. It also addresses how stem cells can differentiate and regenerate tissues, and the differences between tissue and embryonic stem cells. Finally, it explores the major organs of the digestive system, including their functions in mechanical and chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients.

    Cell Specialization Review

    1. Why are we made up of


    specialized cells?
    2. What is the purpose of bone
    cells?
    3. What is the purpose of skin
    cells?

    Hierarchy of Structure
    Review

    1. What is the order of the


    hierarchy of structure?
    2. What are the 4 main types of
    tissue?
    3. Give me two examples of where
    epithelial tissue can be found in the
    body?

    Stem Cells Review


    1. What are the two things that
    stem cells can do?
    2. What is one main difference
    between tissue stem cells and
    embryonic stem cells?
    3. Are stem cells in a newborns
    umbilical cord an example of tissue
    stem cells or embryonic stem cells?

    Digestive
    System

    Lets begin todays lesson


    by eating a cracker
    together
    with a little music

    Cracker Activity
    What happened to the cracker when it
    was in your mouth?
    Why did it start to get softer?
    What did you taste?
    After a few minutes, did the taste
    change? Did it become sweet?
    Did the cracker get soft in your mouth
    even if you were not chewing?

    12/01/16

    Answer
    That sweet taste means an enzyme in
    your saliva started to break down the
    starch to sugar.
    This is one of the first steps in
    digestion!

    Digestion
    Phases Include
    1.
    2.

    Ingestion
    Movement
    Mechanical and Chemical Digestion
    Absorption
    Elimination

    Digestion
    Types
    Mechanical (physical)
    Chew
    Tear
    Grind
    Mash
    Mix
    Chemical
    Enzymatic reactions to improve digestion of

    Carbohydrates
    Proteins
    Lipids

    Digestive System
    Organization
    Digestive tract
    Direct link/path between organs
    Made up of which tissue types?
    Structures

    Mouth
    Pharynx
    Esophagus
    Stomach
    Small intestine
    Large Intestine
    Rectum

    10

    Mouth

    Teeth mechanically
    break down food
    into small pieces.
    Tongue mixes food
    with saliva
    (contains amylase,
    which helps break
    down starch).

    Pharynx function
    in the process of
    swallowing and is
    the pathway for
    the movement of
    food from the
    mouth to the
    esophagus.

    Esophagus
    Approximately 20 cm long.
    Functions include:
    1.Secrete mucus
    2.Moves food from the throat
    to the stomach using
    muscle movement called
    peristalsis
    If acid from the stomach
    gets in here thats
    heartburn.
    Mouth,
    Pharynx and Esophagus Video

    Stomach

    J-shaped muscular bag that stores the


    food you eat, breaks it down into tiny
    pieces.
    Mixes food with Digestive Juices that
    contain enzymes to break down
    Proteins and Lipids.
    Lipids
    Acid (HCl) in the stomach Kills
    Bacteria.
    Food found in the stomach is called
    Chyme.

    13

    Small Intestine
    Small intestines are roughly 7
    meters long
    Lining of intestine walls has
    finger-like projections called villi,
    to increase surface area.
    The villi are covered in microvilli
    which further increases surface
    area for absorption.

    Crash Course Review

    14

    Small Intestine
    Nutrients from the food pass
    into the bloodstream through
    the small intestine walls.
    Absorbs:
    80% ingested water
    Vitamins
    Minerals
    Carbohydrates
    Proteins
    Lipids
    Secretes digestive enzymes
    15

    Large Intestine
    About 1.5 meters long
    Accepts what small
    intestines dont absorb
    Rectum (short term storage
    which holds feces before it is
    expelled).

    Functions

    Large Intestine

    Absorbs more water


    Concentrate wastes

    Accessory Organs The


    Glands
    Not part of the
    path of food, but
    play a critical
    role.
    Include: Liver,
    gall bladder, and
    pancreas

    Liver
    Directly affects digestion by
    producing bile
    Bile helps digest fat

    filters out toxins and waste


    including drugs and alcohol
    and poisons.

    19

    Gall Bladder
    Stores bile from the
    liver, releases it
    into the small
    intestine.

    Pancreas
    Produces digestive
    enzymes to digest
    fats, carbohydrates
    and proteins
    Regulates blood
    sugar by producing
    insulin

    On a sheet of paper, write the


    name of each colored organ:

    Green:
    Red:
    Pink:
    Brown:
    Purple:
    Green:
    Yellow:

    Howd you do?

    Green: Esophagus
    Red: Stomach
    Pink: Small Intestine
    Brown: Large
    Intestine
    Purple: Liver
    Green: Gall Bladder
    Yellow: Pancreas
    Great Job!
