Functional Activities
Ingestion taking of food into the
mouth
Mastication chewing movements to
pulverize food and mix it with saliva
Deglutition swallowing of food to
move it from the mouth to the pharynx
and into the esophagus
Digestion mechanical and chemical
breakdown of food material to prepare it
for absorption

Functional Activities
Absorption passage of molecules of
The Mouth
The function of the mouth
Ingests food
Receives saliva
Grinds food and mixes it with saliva
Initiates digestion of carbohydrates
Forms and swallows soft mass of
chewed food called bolus
The mouth can also assist the
respiratory system in breathing air
9

Pharynx
Posterior to the mouth.
Aa common passageway for both
Function
Receives bolus from oral cavity.
Autonomically continues

Tongue
Tongue functions:
Move food around in the mouth
during mastication
Assist in swallowing food
Producing speech

Esophagus
Collapsible tubular organ.
Approximately 25 cm (10 inc) long.
Originating at the larynx and lying
Anatomic
sphincter
Physiologic
sphincter
Prevent the
stomach contents
from regurgitating
into the esophagus
21
Function
Transports bolus to stomach by
peristalsis.
Lower esophageal sphincter
restricts backflow of food.
22
Swallowing Mechanism
Voluntary stage
Initiates the swallowing process
Pharyngeal stage
Involuntary and constitutes passage of food
through the pharynx into the esophagus
Esophageal stage
Another involuntary phase that transports
food from the pharynx to the stomach
23
Stomach (Gaster)
Most distensible part of the GI
tract.
Located in the upper left
abdominal quadrant, immediately
below the diaphragm.
J-shaped when empty.
Continuous with esophagus
superiorly and empties into
duodenum .

Liver
The largest internal organ of the
body.
Weighing about 1.3 kg in an adult.
Reddish brown color is due to its
great vascularity.
The liver has four lobes
Liver lobule functional unit

Function
Carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism.
Breakdown of erythrocytes and defence
against microbes.
Detoxification of drugs and noxious
substances.
Metabolism of ethanol.
Inactivation of hormones.
Synthesis of vitamin A from carotene.
Production of heat.
Secretion of bile.
Storage.

56
Pancreas
Pancreas has both exocrine and
endocrine functions.
The endocrine function is performed by
the pancreatic islets (islets of
Langerhans). The islet cells secrete the
hormones insulin and glucagon into the
blood.
As an exocrine gland, the pancreas
secretes pancreatic juice through the
pancreatic duct, which empties into the
duodenum.
