Organ System Main Functions:
(What does this organ system do as a whole? Why is this system important in your body)
the organ system is important in the body because it has a role to do in your body and it helps the large
intestines out and it helps the small intestines to and the digestion system the most part.
How do the different organs in this system work together to make the organ system function as a whole? It might help to do the next part first!
the work together because they help each other out with the thing in side of the body and it helps other thing in your body
to help you move and think and work out your muscles.
Organ System in my body helps my small intestines to digest food out your body and it help it move other parts of your
body. the other parts of your body is telling you when you get touch and my you are smelling something or taste something
it tells your brain and tells it when you got touch.
How your organ system works with this other system
1.the small intestines works by helping your other part of your body move
and it helps your muscles do thing like extra sizes and move your muscles.
they work together because they want to help each other out they like
to wok together so they will make a body work good and so it can function
well.
3.people body work well they have thing to do in a body they help some
body parts out the body work by the muscles helping the main parts of the body
to do what they have to do to make the body work very good.
Structures – what are the major organs/tissues of this system?
Functions – what are the function of the major organs/tissues of this system?
Mouth: the mouth helps you chew food into your stomach.
Pharynx:The pharynx, or throat, is a funnel-shaped tube connected to the posterior end of the mouth. The pharynx is responsible for the passing of masses of chewed food from the mouth to the esophagus
Esophagus: The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the pharynx to the stomach that is part of the upper gastrointestinal tract. It carries swallowed masses of chewed food along its length.
stomach: The stomach is a muscular sac that is located on the left side of the abdominal cavity, just inferior to the diaphragm.
Small Intestine:The small intestine is a long, thin tube about 1 inch in diameter and about 10 feet long that is part of the lower gastrointestinal tract. It is located just inferior to the stomach and takes up most of the space in the abdominal cavity
Small Intestine:he small intestine is a long, thin tube about 1 inch in diameter and about 10 feet long that is part of the lower gastrointestinal tract. It is located just inferior to the stomach and takes up most of the space in the abdominal cavity.
Liver and Gallbladder:The liver is a roughly triangular accessory organ of the digestive system located to the right of the stomach, just inferior to the diaphragm and superior to the small intestine
.
Pancreas:The pancreas is a large gland located just inferior and posterior to the stomach. It is about 6 inches long and shaped like short, lumpy snake with its “head” connected to the duodenum and its “tail” pointing to the left wall of the abdominal cavit
Large Intestine;The large intestine is a long, thick tube about 2 ½ inches in diameter and about 5 feet long
Ingestion:he first function of the digestive system is ingestion, or the intake of food. The mouth is responsible for this function, as it is the orifice through which all food enters the body.
Secretion:In the course of a day, the digestive system secretes around 7 liters of fluids. These fluids include saliva, mucus, hydrochloric acid, enzymes, and bile. Saliva moistens dry food and contains salivary amylase, a digestive enzyme that begins the digestion of carbohydrates. Mucus serves as a protective barrier and lubricant inside of the GI tract.
Digestion:Digestion is the process of turning large pieces of food into its component chemicals. Mechanical digestion is the physical breakdown of large pieces of food into smaller pieces. This mode of digestion begins with the chewing of food by the teeth and is continued through the muscular mixing of food by the stomach and intestines.
Absorption:Once food has been reduced to its building blocks, it is ready for the body to absorb. Absorption begins in the stomach with simple molecules like water and alcohol being absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
Excretion:The final function of the digestive system is the excretion of waste in a process known as defecation. Defecation removes indigestible substances from the body so that they do not accumulate inside the gut..
