Describe the functions of the organs of the digestive system in relation to ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and egestion. © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 8 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book What is nutrition? Nutrition is the process by which organisms obtain food and energy for • growth, • repair, • and maintenance of the body. In humans, nutrition consists of the following processes: • Feeding or Ingestion • Digestion • Absorption • Assimilation Feeding or ingestion is the process whereby food is taken into the body © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 9 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book The human digestive system The human digestive system consists of the alimentary canal and the organs (liver and pancreas) connected to it. The human digestive system © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 10 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book The human digestive system 1. The mouth Food enters the body through the mouth. In the mouth there are: • teeth • salivary glands • tongue © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 11 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book The human digestive system 2. The oesophagus The oesophagus (gullet) is a narrow, muscular tube where food passes in wave-like contractions called peristalsis. 3. The stomach The stomach is a distensible muscular bag, with thick and well-developed muscular walls. Peristalsis The stomach wall © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 12 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book The human digestive system 4. The small intestine The small intestine consists of the U-shaped duodenum, and the much-coiled ileum. ~ 6 metres long 5.

(b) Draw an arrow in the diagram to show the direction in which the food is moving. © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 15 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book 7.3 Digestion in Humans In this section, you will learn the following: • • • • • • • Describe physical digestion as the breakdown of food into smaller pieces without chemical change to the food molecules. State that physical digestion increases the surface area of food for the action of enzymes in chemical digestion. Describe the function of the stomach in physical digestion. Describe chemical digestion as the breakdown of large insoluble molecules into small soluble molecules. State the role of chemical digestion in producing small soluble molecules that can be absorbed. Describe the functions of amylase in breaking down starch, protease in breaking down protein, and lipase in breaking down fats and oils. State where these enzymes are secreted and where they act. © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 16 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book 7.3 Digestion in Humans In this section, you will learn the following: • • • • • • • Describe the functions of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice. Describe the digestion of starch by amylase. Describe the digestion of maltose by maltase to glucose on the membranes of the epithelium lining the small intestine. Describe the digestion of proteins by pepsin in the acidic conditions of the stomach. Describe the digestion of proteins by trypsin in the alkaline conditions of the small intestine. Explain that bile is an alkaline mixture that neutralises the acidic mixture of food and gastric juices entering the duodenum from the stomach, to provide a suitable pH for enzyme action. Outline the role of bile in emulsifying fats and oils to increase the surface area for the chemical digestion. © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 17 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book What is digestion? Digestion is the process whereby large food molecules are broken down into smaller, soluble molecules that can be absorbed into the body cells. • Physical digestion The mechanical breakdown of food into small pieces without any chemical change to the food molecules. • Chemical digestion The breaking down of the large molecules in food into small soluble molecules that can be absorbed. This involves chemical reactions catalysed by digestive enzymes. Chemical digestion by hydrolytic reaction © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 18 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book Processes that take place in the mouth (a) In the mouth, chewing breaks up the food and mucus softens the food. (b) Food is rolled into boli and passed down the oesophagus. Digestion begins in the mouth © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 19 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book Digestive processes that take place in the stomach 1. Gastric glands secrete gastric juice into the stomach cavity. 2. Peristalsis in the stomach wall churns and breaks up the food, and also mixes the food with gastric juice. 3. Dilute hydrochloric acid in gastric juice stops the action of salivary amylase, provides an acidic medium suitable for pepsin to work and kills certain potentially harmful microorganisms in food. 4. Pepsin in gastric juice digests proteins to short chains of amino acids. 5. The partly digested food becomes liquefied, forming chyme. 6. Chyme passes in small amounts into the duodenum when the ring of muscle at the lower part of the stomach relaxes and opens. © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd Chyme passes in small amounts into the duodenum 20 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book Digestive processes that take place in the small intestine Chyme enters the small intestine. It stimulates the pancreas to secrete pancreatic juice, the gall bladder to release bile, the epithelial cells in the small intestine to produce the enzymes maltase and lipase. © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 21 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book Digestion of different foods How are carbohydrates digested? How are proteins digested? Some protein digestion begins in the stomach, where pepsin digests proteins. The undigested proteins that enter the small intestine are digested by trypsin. © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 22 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book Digestion of different foods How are fats digested? Big fat droplets are emulsified into tiny fat droplets, which are then broken down by lipase.

The water in the beaker was covered with a thin layer of oil. When sulfur powder was sprinkled into the beaker, the powder rested on the layer of oil and did not sink. However, when a detergent (which acts like bile) was added into the beaker, the sulfur powder sank into the water. Explain what happened. © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 25 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book 7.4 Absorption In this section, you will learn the following: • • • • • State that the small intestine is the region where nutrients are absorbed. State that most water is absorbed from the small intestine, but that some is also absorbed from the colon. Explain the significance of villi and microvilli in increasing the internal surface area of the small intestine. Describe the structure of a villus and describe the roles of capillaries and lacteals in villi. Describe the functions of the organs of the digestive system in relation to egestion. © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 26 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book How is the small intestine adapted for absorption? The inner surface has numerous minute finger-like projections called villi, which increase the surface area for absorption. Scanning electron micrograph of the small intestine showing the villi © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 27 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book How does absorption take place in the intestines? Villi in a portion of the small intestine © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 28 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book What happens after absorption in the small intestine? 1. Blood rich in nutrients: transported to liver. 2. Most of the absorbed sugar: converted into glycogen and stored. 3. Some glucose: distributed around body via blood leaving liver. 4. Amino acids: • Used for growth and repair by cells. • Used to form enzymes and hormones. Absorption in the colon The colon absorbs water and mineral ions into the bloodstream. © 2021 Marshall Cavendish Education Pte Ltd 29 PowerPoint Slides for Cambridge IGCSETM Biology Student's Book 7.5 Human Dentition In this section, you will learn the following: • • Identify in diagrams and images the types of human teeth: incisors, canines, premolars and molars.
