This document discusses digestion, beginning with an overview of the significance of digestion in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. It then outlines the main types of digestion and the functions of the gastrointestinal tract. Specific sections are dedicated to describing digestion in the oral cavity, the composition and role of saliva, and the mechanism of salivation. Digestion is initiated in the mouth through mechanical and chemical breakdown aided by saliva secreted from salivary glands in response to stimuli in the oral cavity.

Saliva: Thin, watery, slightly viscid fluid secreted by the salivary glands. More than a liter of saliva is secreted per day
Function of saliva: Chemical digestion
Helps chewing and swallowing
Lubricating effect:
Solvent effect:
Cleaning effect:
Antibacterial effect:
pH buffering effect:
Gastric juice or stomach secretions:
The gastric mucosa secretes 1.2 to 1.5 liters of gastric juice per day.
Function of Gastric Juice:
HCL converts pepsinogen into pepsin,Pepsin breaks protein ,Gastric lipase break down fats.
mucus protect stomach lining, Pancreatic juice:
The exocrine part of pancreas producing pancreatic juice which empties into the small intestine at hepato pancreatic ampulla
Functions of pancreatic juice: digest protein, fats, carbohydrate & nucleic acid. neutralizes HCl, Bile: Bile is a bitter-tasting, dark green to yellowish brown fluid, produced by the liver. Bile helps the process of digestion of lipids in the small intestine. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and upon eating is discharged into the duodenum.
Bile salts:
Bile salts are one of the primary components of bile. Bile salts help with the digestion of fats in our bodies.
Intestinal secretions: The principal constituents of intestinal secretions are water, mucus and mineral salts.
Movements of Gastrointestinal Tract include chewing of food and mixing it with saliva (mastication and salivation), swallowing, and its movement through esophagus and stomach, where digestion begins, to the small intestine (the site of further digestion and absorption).
two types of peristalsis occur:
Primary peristalsis and secondary peristalsis
Digestion Is the breakdown of food into smaller components that can be more easily absorbed and assimilated by the body
The stomach is large enough to temporarily store the food.
Solid food is gradually broken down by powerful muscle contractions in the lower end of the stomach.
This muscular activity produces small food particles suitable to enter SI.
Different types of food empty from the stomach at different rates; for example, fatty foods take longer to leave
Beverages emptying more quickly into the small bowel
Normally, most of an average-sized meal has left the stomach after about 2 hours.
In the stomach the food stimulates the release of digestive juices like HCL & digestive enzymes e.g. pepsinogen (converted into active form pepsin by HCL) that chemically further break down and mix with the food. The mixture is referred to as chyme.
The chyme then passes, in a regulated controlled manner, out of the stomach into the small bowel/intestineIn the small intestine, the muscular contractions occur irregularly, varying in strength and type.
Here also, the different nutrients in food affect the type of contractions generated.
Absorption Define as the passage of nutrients into the blood or lymphatic system. Digested food molecules are absorbed in the small intestine.
Absorption happens quickly and efficiently if the surface is thin

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Digestion and its significance
• Energy and plastic materials enter
the body with food. Nutrients,
other than mineral salts and
water, are mechanically and
chemically processed in the
gastrointestinal tract.
• In the process of digestion, large-
molecular organic substances are
converted into simple substances,
monomers, which are absorbed
into the blood and lymph and
absorbed by the body.

3. Main types of digestion
1. Autolytic: enzymes can be absorbed through food (breast milk).
2. Symbiotic: enzymes are produced by bacteria - hydrolysis by
enzymes of microorganisms (in the large intestine).
3. Own type of digestion
a) cavity (distant) digestion - the hydrolytic action of enzymes is realized in the
cavities of the digestive tract.
b) parietal (contact, membrane) digestion - an increase in hydrolytic processes
takes place in the mucous layer and in the area of the brush border of
enterocytes.
c) intracellular (phagocytosis, pinocytosis).
4. Functions of the gastrointestinal tract
1. Digestive.
The secretory function is the secretion of
digestive juices.
• There are 3 groups of enzymes:
1) proteases that break down proteins;
2) lipases that digest fats to glycerides
and fatty acids;
3) carbohydrases, which digest
carbohydrates to polysaccharides, di-
and monosaccharides.
Motor function.
Suction function.
Excretory function.
2. Endocrine function.
• In the cells of the mucous membrane of
the stomach, intestines, pancreas, active
substances (gastrointestinal hormones) are
synthesized, which exert their effect by
entering the blood.
• Hormones of the enteric system provide:
1) enhance or inhibit the secretion of
digestive juices.
2) act on metabolism - assimilation, on the
growth and development of a growing
organism.
3) have a trophic effect, improve the blood
supply to organs, and increase the
permeability of biological membranes.
5. Digestion research methods
To study the digestive function in humans, clinical methods are used: introduction
of a probe, radiography, electrogastrography, radiotelemetric technique,
endoscopy, the method of introducing radioactive isotopes, ultrasound, etc.
І. Experimental
vivisection
isolated organs
chronic experiences
I. Pavlov and his co-workers developed operations to obtain all digestive juices in
conditions of chronic experience - fistula operations.
II. Clinical and physiological
6. Digestion in the oral cavity.
• The digestion process begins in the mouth. Food in the oral cavity is 15-30
seconds. During this time, food is subjected to mechanical, physical, and
chemical processing.
Functions of the oral mucosa
1. Secretory.
2. Protective.
3. Regenerative.
4. Suction.
5. Reflexogenic zone
7. Saliva, its composition and meaning
• Saliva is a mixed secret secreted by 3 pairs of salivary glands (parotid,
submandibular, sublingual and many small glands).
• A person produces 600-1500 ml of saliva per day, an average of 1.0-
1.2 liters.
Oral cavity
Trachea
Resting state
Epiglottis
Tongue
Esophagus
The act of swallowing
8. Saliva composition
1. Enzymes:
• Salivary amylase (-amylase) - initial hydrolysis of
polysaccharides - to dextrans - disaccharides
• Maltase released during prolonged chewing -
disaccharides - disaccharides to monosaccharides.
2. Mucin
3. Lysozyme
Traces:
• Proteins, globulins, amino acids.
• Uric acid, urea, creatinine
• Enzymes: proteases, peptides, lipase, nuclease,
alkaline and acid phosphatases, etc.
1. Ions of potassium, sodium,
calcium, magnesium.
2. Phosphates, chlorides,
sulfates, bicarbonates.
3. Rhodonous compounds.
4. Iodide, bromide, fluorine,
trace elements: iron, nickel,
lithium
Saliva is a digestive juice, slightly colorless, viscous, opalescent liquid.
The specific gravity is 1.001-1.002. pH = 5.8-7.4.
Water - 99.4-99.5%.
Dry residue - 0.5-0.6%
Organic substances Inorganic substances
9. Dry food (crackers, meat powder) produces more
saliva than milk.
A lot of liquid saliva is released on the rejected
substances (sand, acid).
10. Salivation mechanism
• Afferent impulses from the
receptors in the oral cavity go to
the center of salivation in the
medulla oblongata along the
afferent fibers of the trigeminal,
facial, glossopharyngeal and
vagus nerves. From there along
the efferent fibers to the salivary
glands along the sympathetic
and parasympathetic nerves.
11. When sympathetic nerves are irritated, sympathetic
saliva is thick, rich in organic compounds, not
abundant. With irritation of the parasympathetic
nerves - chordal - liquid, abundant, rich in minerals.
12. Reflex mechanism of saliva secretion
• 2 phases of salivation:
1. Conditioned reflex phase. The separation of saliva occurs before
food enters the oral cavity at the sight of food, smelling, memories
of food, etc. It is carried out with the help of the cortex and the
center of salivation.
2. Unconditioned reflex phase. The separation of saliva occurs when
food enters the oral cavity, the receptors of the oral cavity are
irritated. Along the afferent nerves, impulses reach the center of
salivation and from there along the secretory nerves to the salivary
glands.
