  1. Human Alimentary Canal Part 2 Grade 8 Semester 1 Year 2011-2012

  2. Gall bladder • Pouch structure located near the liver which concentrates and stores bile • Bile emulsifies lipids (physically breaks apart FATS) • Bile is a bitter, greenish-yellow alkaline fluid, stored in the gallbladder between meals and upon eating is discharged into the duodenum where it aids the process of digestion.

  3. Pancreas • An organ which secretes both digestive enzymes (amylase, trypsin) and hormones (endocrine) • ** Pancreatic juice digests all major nutrient types.

  4. Liver • Function • produces bile • bile stored in gallbladder until needed • breaks up fats • act like detergents to breakup fats bile contains colors from old red blood cells collected in liver = iron in RBC rusts & makes feces brown

  5. Small Intestine • Most chemicaldigestion takes place here. • Simple sugars and proteins are absorbed into the inner lining. • Fatty acids and glycerol go to lymphatic system. • Lined with villi, which increase surface area for absorption, one cell thick.

  6. Small intestine • Function • chemical digestion • major organ of digestion & absorption • absorption through lining • over 6 meters! • small intestine has huge surface area = size of tenniscourt • Structure • 3 sections • duodenum = most digestion • jejunum = absorption of nutrients & water • ileum = absorption of nutrients & water

  7. Large Intestine • Solid materials pass through the large intestine. • These are undigestible solids (fibers). • Water is absorbed. • Vitamins K and B are reabsorbed with the water. • Rectum- solid wastes exit the body.

  8. You’ve got company! • Living in the large intestine is a community of helpful bacteria • Escherichiacoli (E. coli) • produce vitamins • vitamin K; B vitamins

  9. Rectum • Last section of colon (large intestines) • eliminate feces • undigested materials • extracellular waste • mainly cellulose from plants • roughage or fiber • masses of bacteria
