  4. The Mouth • Start Of Digestive Track • Ingests Food/Liquids • Crushes Food (Teeth/Tongue) • Tongue Used To Move Food Around • Teeth Used To Crush Food (Mainly The Anterior Incisors)

  5. Esophagus • Tube In Which Food Travels From The Mouth To The Stomach • Food Passes Threw By Peristalsis (Muscle Movements)

  6. Stomach • Highly Acidic Environment • Breaks Down Food Further By Use Of Gastric Acids • Partial Protein Absorption • Water Absorption

  7. Liver Located under the rib cage, upper right part of abdomen. Produces bile. Bile helps the body absorb fat.

  8. Gall Bladder • Located behind the liver. • Stores bile from the liver until the body uses it.

  9. Large Intestine • Absorbs water and electrolytes. • Helps eliminate waste. • It is about 1.5 m long and 6.5 cam wide • 4 major parts- cecum, colon, rectum and anal canal.

  10. Small Intestine • Portal for all nutrients into the blood. • Provides nutrients to the body. • Approx. 6m long. • Located in the middle of the abdomen • 3 parts-duodenum, ileum, jejunum.

  11. Pancreas Located beneath the stomach. Produces enzymes. Enzymes help digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Makes substance that neutralizes stomach acid.

  12. Rectum Located at the end of the large intestine Where poop is stored

  13. Anus • Located at the end of the digestive track. • A opening where waste exits the body.

  14. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) • Occurs When Stomach Doesn’t Close Properly • Main Symptoms Are Persistent Heart Burn And Acid Regurgitation • No Known Cause For GERD • Alcohol Use, Smoking, Overweight, Pregnancy Are Factors That May Contribute To GERD
