The document discusses the human digestive system. It describes the major parts of the digestive tract including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and associated organs like the liver and pancreas. It explains the processes of digestion that occur in each part, including both mechanical and chemical breakdown of food. Key digestive enzymes and fluids secreted by the digestive organs are also outlined.
The digestive system breaks down food through a multi-step process. Food enters the mouth and is broken down by teeth and saliva. It then travels to the stomach and small intestine where acids and enzymes further break it down. Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream while waste is eliminated as feces through the large intestine, rectum and anus. The major organs that make up the digestive system include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
Digestion and absorption, digestive secretions, their characteristic features: Digestion is the breakdown of food into particles small enough to cross the cellular barrier of the gastrointestinal (GI) system and be carried around the body in the circulation.
This occurs by both mechanical and chemical processes that begin in the mouth and generally end in the small intestine, where 90% of absorption takes place.
The other 10% takes place in the stomach and large intestine and often involves the help of the gut microbiota.
A small amount of absorption is also thought to take place in the mouth.
Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and continues with segmental muscle contractions in the stomach and intestines.
Chemical digestion is primarily mediated by enzymes present in the secretions of the salivary glands, stomach and pancreas, and on the epithelial lining of the small intestine
Mechanical digestion is physical process in which food is broken into smaller pieces without chemically.
It begins with our first bite of food and continues as we chew food with our teeth into smaller pieces.
The process of mechanical digestion continues in the stomach. This muscular organ churns and mixes the food it contains, an action that breaks any solid food into still smaller pieces.
Chemical digestion is the biochemical process in which macromolecules in food are changed into smaller molecules that can be absorbed into body fluids and transported to cells throughout the body.
Substances in food that must be chemically digested include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Carbohydrates must be broken down into simple sugars, proteins into amino acids, lipids into fatty acids and glycerol, and nucleic acids into nitrogen bases and sugars.
Some chemical digestion takes place in the mouth and stomach, but most of it occurs in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
Chemical digestion could not occur without the help of many different digestive enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze or speed up biochemical reactions.
Digestive enzymes are secreted by exocrine glands or by the mucosal layer of the epithelium lining the gastrointestinal tract.
In the mouth, digestive enzymes are secreted by salivary glands.
The lining of the stomach secretes enzymes, as does the lining of the small intestine.
Many more digestive enzymes are secreted by exocrine cells in the pancreas and carried by ducts to the small intestine
About 80 percent of digestible carbohydrates in a typical Western diet are in the form of the plant polysaccharide amylose, which consists mainly of long chains of glucose and is one of two major components of starch.
Additional dietary carbohydrates include the animal polysaccharide glycogen, along with some sugars, which are mainly disaccharides.
To chemically digest amylose and glycogen, the enzyme amylase is required. The chemical digestion of these polysaccharides begins in the mou

Specific enzymes target different macronutrients, such as maltase breaking down maltose and sucrase breaking down sucrose. These enzymes are essential for breaking down food into nutrients the body can use.
The mammary gland develops early in fetal life, with teat formation starting in the second month of gestation. Development continues through the sixth month of gestation, resulting in four separate glands by the time the calf is six months. Between puberty and parturition, the development of milk ducts and secreting tissue takes place. Milk is produced by alveolar epithelial cells clustered in lobules. Prolactin and corticosteroids are required for the initiation of lactation around birth, while galactopoiesis and continued milk production depends on milk removal through milking. Oxytocin released during milking causes contraction of myoepithelial cells, forcing milk from the alveoli into duct

The large intestine is composed of 4 parts. It includes the cecum and ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon. The large intestine performs an essential role by absorbing water, vitamins, and electrolytes from waste material.
• The small intestine is the part of the gastrointestinal tract
that follows the stomach, which is in turn followed by the
large intestine.
• The small intestine is divided into the duodenum, jejunum,
and ileum.
• The small intestine measures approximately 80 cm to 1.3 m
in cats and 1.8 to 4.8 m in dogs.
The cardia is the first part of the stomach below the esophagus. It
contains the cardiac sphincter, which is a thin ring of muscle that
helps to prevent stomach contents from going back up into the
esophagus.
• The fundus is the rounded area that lies to the left of the cardia and
below the diaphragm.
• The body is the largest and main part of the stomach. This is where
food is mixed and starts to break down

The process of reproduction begins with copulation, which is
the mating of a male and female of the species.
•Sperm cells from the male are deposited in the female
reproductive tract and try to unite with an egg cell.
•When fertilization (a sperm cell and egg cell unite) occurs, an
embryo begins to develop.
•The embryo attaches to the wall of the uterus where it is
protected, receives nourishment, and develops.
•When the new offspring reaches the end of the gestation
period, it is delivered from the female reproductive tract in
a process called parturition.
•To completely understand the process of reproduction, a
basic knowledge of the reproductive tract structures and
functions is required
The adrenal glands produce a variety of hormones and are located above the kidneys. Each gland contains two parts - the adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla. The adrenal cortex secretes corticosteroids such as cortisol and aldosterone. The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine which increase heart rate and blood pressure during fight or flight responses. Diseases can occur if the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones, such as Addison's disease, or produce too much, like Cushing's syndrome.
The parathyroid glands are small endocrine glands in the neck of humans and other tetrapods that produce parathyroid hormone.
positioned behind the left and right lobes of the thyroid.
The size of the gland ranges from 2-7 mm .
Two unique types of cells are present in the parathyroid gland:
Chief cells :which synthesise and release parathyroid hormone.
Oxyphil cells: which are lighter in appearance and increase in number with age,have an unknown function
The pancreas arises from the embryonic foregut.
a.The EXOCRINE:pancreas excretes enzymes and bicarbonate to the duodenum.
b.The ENDOCRINE pancrease secretes hormones to the circulation.

The study of endocrine system, and their role in the physiology of the body .
Endocrine--endo means within. This is a system which controls body function through hormones.
Endocrine System is composed of a number of glands.
The endocrine system includes the organs of the body that secrete hormones directly into body fluids such as blood
Regulates chemical reaction in cells and therefore control functions of the organs, tissues, and other cells
Endocrine glands are ductless glands comprised of endocrine cells.
This means that these glands do not have ducts that lead to the outside of the body.
For example, sweat glands are NOT endocrine glands (they are instead exocrine glands) because sweat glands have ducts that lead to the outside surface of your skin (that’s how the sweat gets out).

5. AVIAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
•The avian digestive system is found in
poultry.
• This system differs greatly from any other
type. Since poultry do not have teeth, there
is no chewing.
6.
7. The crop
•The crop is where the food is stored and
soaked.
•Food then moves from the crop to the
proventriculus.
9. The gizzard
•From the proventriculus, the food makes its
way to the gizzard.
• The gizzard is a very muscular organ, which
normally contains grit or stones that function
like teeth to grind the food.
10. Secretin
• It is in the duodenum and signals the secretion of
sodium bicarbonate in the pancreas and it
stimulates the bile secretion in the liver.
11. Gastrin
• It is in the stomach and stimulates the gastric
glands to secrete pepsinogen (an inactive form
of the enzyme pepsin) and hydrochloric acid.
12. Cholecystokinin
• (CCK) - is in the duodenum and stimulates the
release of digestive enzymes in the pancreas and
stimulates the emptying of bile in the gall bladder.
