    The digestive system breaks down food into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body. It includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, liver, and large intestine. The mouth begins mechanical digestion with teeth and tongue, and saliva contains the enzyme amylase to start breaking down carbohydrates. The stomach stores and further breaks down food with acids and enzymes. The small intestine continues to break food into absorbable nutrients using enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver. The large intestine absorbs water before waste is excreted.

    Mechanical Digestion:
    Chemical Digestion:
    Tongue

    Lips
    Teeth
    Tongue
    Glands
    Blood supply and innervations
    Parotid gland, submandibular gland,
    sublingual gland
    Exocrine gland that produces saliva which
    begins the process of digestion with amylase
    Tongue

    parts
    Manipulates food for chewing/swallowing
    Main taste organ, covered in taste buds
    Papillae
    Mechanical
    Filiform Conical- Marginal
    Gustatory
    Fungiform-vallate-foliate
    Innervation and Blood supply
    Liver

    Helps metabolize proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.


    Urea, chief end product of mammalian metabolism,
    Portal system
    Blood supply
    Breaks down insulin and other hormones.
    Produces coagulation factors.
    Pancreas

    Exocrine functions: Digestive enzyme secretion.


    Trypsinogen Trypsin: digests protein.
    Chymotypsinogen Chymotrypsin: digests proteins.
    Carboxypeptidases: digests proteins.
    Lipase-lipid: digests fats.
    Amylase: digests carbohydrates.
    Endocrine functions: Hormone secretion.
    Somatostatin: inhibits the function of insulin. Produced if the body is getting too much glucose.
    Glucagon: stimulates the stored glycogen in the liver to convert to glucose.
    Produced if the body does not have enough glucose.
    Insulin: made in the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas.
    Stomach

    Ruminant
    Four parts
    Rumen
    Reticulum
    Omasum
    Abomasum
    Non Ruminant
    Cardiac
    Fundus
    Pylorus (N.filori)
    Ruminant

    The rumen. 25 gallons or more of material, depending on the size


    The reticulum. The pouch-like structure
    Nails and other sharp objects may work into the tissue and cause
    "hardware disease.
    Omasum: Missing in camel
    globe-shaped structure or Book leaves shape
    The omasum absorbs water and other substances from digestive
    contents
    Abomasum True stomach
    Sphincters
    Stomach glands
    Small and large intestine

    Duodenum Caecum
    Jejunum Colon
