A. Preparation What is digestive system? Digestive food allows us to

utilize food from such diverse
sources as meat from animal
and roots of a plant, and utilize
them as an energy source.

Esophagus
 What is the part that
*review transports food to our
stomach?

B. Motivation I will group the class into 2, Yes ma’am

we will be naming the parts
of the digestive system.
Let’s start counting off.

C. Presentation nn Today we are going to talk Yes we are.

about the Digestive system,
its parts and functions. Are
we ready to start?

Okay so now let us start

with digestive tract.
Digestive tract. Digestion
refers to the process to the
process of breakdown of
food into smaller pieces,
such as through biting and
chewing. Chemical
digestion breaks down the
chemical composition of
food; complex molecules are
broken down into simpler
substances.

Now, can anyone give me a pharynx. Ma’am

part of digestive system?

Okay, that is correct. Now

let’s discuss the parts and
functions.

Pharynx and esophagus

pharynx is a funnelform
structure that serves as as
passageway for food and air
while swallowing. While
swallowing, the epiglottis, a
structure near the front end
of the pharynx, is closed so
that the food cannot enter
the lower respiratory tract.
When you are in a hurry to
swallow your food, you can
sometimes choke. That is
because you cannot swallow
at the same time, since both
tasks involve the same
opening. Food and air
cannot enter the pharynx
simultaneously.

Stomach-

Stomach is the j-shaped,

expandable organ where the
esophagus empties food.
There are also folds in the
stomach that increase the
surface area to
accommodate food. When
food is mixed with the
gastric, a semiliquid mass
called chime is formed
chime is then pushed down
into the small intestine. The
stomach can accommodate
1-5L of food, and is usually
empty three to four hours
after each meal.
Small intestine-

The food is digested in the

stomach moves down to the
small intestine. As in the
wall of the esophagus,
involuntary muscles propel
food along the small
intestine the peristalsis. The
stomach has a valve called
the pyloric sphincter that
prevents the backflow of
food form the small intense
to the stomach. The small
intestine is about 7-8m long
and is about 4cm wide. It is
segmented into three parts:
duodenum, jejunum, and
ileum. All segments help in
the absorption of nutrients.

The small intestine has a

very large surface area in
contact with digested food
which makes it particularly
well suited to absorb
nutrients. This large surface
area is the result of the
following:

*the long length of the small

intestine

*the folds and creases in its

lining

*the presence of tiny,

fingerlike projections, called
villi the epithelial lining of
the intestine wall.

The final absorption and

absorption of food takes
place in the intestine.
Liver-

The liver is the largest gland

in the human body. It is not
only helpful to the digestive
system but also to other
organ systems. The live
secretes the bile which is
temporarily stored in
gallbladder.

Pancreas-

The pancreas secretes

substance substances for
digestion but also for the
other organ systems of the
body. For digestion it
secretes pancreatic juice
loaded with enzyme that
help breakdown fats,
proteins, carbohydrates, and
nucleic acids.

Internal glands-

Along the inner lining of the

intestine are the intestinal
glands, which secrete
intestinal juice. Four major
enzymes comprise internal
juice: one changes the
remaining protein into
amino acids, while the
remaining three act on
various carbohydrates and
convert them into glucose or
other simple sugar.
 Large intestine-

Digestion no longer takes

place in the large intestine; it
only facilitates the
absorption of water and salt,
and stores undigested food
temporarily. The large
intestine is about 2m long
and 7cm wide, much wider
compared to the small
intestine.

Appendix-

The appendix is a small sac

located in the lower right
side corner of the abdomen,
the appendix does not
participate in digestion even
though it is attached to the
large intestine close to the
junction of the large and
small intestines.
D. Summarization Okay, now that we are done Students are actively raising
with our discussion I hope their hands.
you learned a lot. Can
anyone give me a quick
summary of what we have
discussed today?
E. Application I will group the class into 2, Okay ma’am. Starts counting
we will be naming the parts off.

1. Topic
Nutrients essential for life
2. Sub-topic
Care for the digestive
3. Words to study system

Define the following:

Carbohydrates Mainly sugars and starches,

together constituting one of the
three principal types of nutrients
used as energy sources
(calories) by the body.
Carbohydrates can also be
defined chemically as neutral
compounds of carbon, hydrogen
and oxygen.

Proteins

Proteins are required for the

structure, function, and
regulation of the body's cells,
tissues, and organs. Each
protein has unique
functions. Proteins are essential
components of muscles, skin,
bones and the body as a whole
Lipids

Cholesterol and triglycerides are
lipids. Lipids are easily stored
 in the body. They serve as a
source of fuel and are an
important constituent of the
structure of cells.

Lipids include fatty acids,

neutral fats, waxes and steroids
(like cortisone). Compound
lipids (lipids complexed with
another type of chemical
compound) comprise the
lipoproteins, glycolipids and
phospholipids.
