Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 Integumentary-Vitamin D activated in the skin plays a role in absorption of calcium from the digestive tract. Skeletal-Bones are important in mastication. Calcium absorption is necessary to maintain bone matrix. Muscular-Muscles are important in mastication, swallowing, and the mixing and moving of digestion products through the gastrointestinal tract. Cardiovascular-The bloodstream carries absorbed nutrients to all body cells. Respiratory-The digestive system and the respiratory system shape common anatomical structures. Digestive system along with other systems: Urinary-The Kidneys and liver work together to activate Vitamin D Digestive System Function: Mechanically and chemically breaking down foods so they can be absorbed. Food transports through the bodyby peristalsis-involuntary, rhythmic, one-way, movement of food in the esophagus and segmentation-two-way movement of food which allows greater mixing of secretions within the small intestine Mouth:-Receives food and begins digestion-Has organs such asthe teeth, tongue, and salivary glands-Preforms ingestion, mechanical digestion, and chemical digestion-Has the salivary amylase enzyme Esophagus:-Passageway for food-Propels food from the pharynx to the stomach Stomach:-Mixes food with Pepsin-Has a specialized structure named rugae-Preforms absorption, mechanical digestion, and chemical digestionSmall Intestine:-Extends from the stomach to the large intestine-Completes digestion, absorbs nutrients, moves solid wastes into the large intestine-Has the specialized structures such as the villi and microvilli-Preforms chemical digestion and absorption and segmentation Main Structures: Food transports through the bodyby peristalsis-involuntary, rhythmic, one-way, movement of food in the esophagus and segmentation-two-way movement of food which allows greater mixing of secretions within the small intestine Large Intestine:-Forms feces, eliminate solid wastes, and absorbs remaining water and electrolytes-Preforms propulsion and absorptionRectum:-Final part of the large intestine-Eliminates into the anus Histology: Stratified Squamous Epithelium:Found in mouth and esophagusSimple Columnar Epithelium:Found in stomach, small intestine, and large intestineSmooth Muscle:Found in esophagus, small intestine, and large intestineGoblet Cell:Found in stomach, small intestine, and large intestineSimple Cuboidal Epithelium:Found in salivary glands and pancreasConnective Adipose Tissue:Found in fat Example of levels of organization:Cuboidal Epithelial Cell, Cuboidal Epithelium, Liver, Digestive System, Human
