DIGESTIVE SYSTEM IN

HUMAN
 The function of food for human
 To provide a source of energy
 Growing and building materials of the
body
 Maintains and replaces broken cells or old
cells
 Body resistance
 Regulation of body’s process
The importance of mother’s milk for
babies
 Mother’s milk is easily and practically used or in other words
mother’s milk is food for baby that is ready for any conditions and
where ever.
 Mother’s milk is food that need not to be bought (free) because
automatically mother who has baby produces milk
 When mother giving milk, there is strong emotional bounding
between mother and the baby
 It contains antibody to protect baby from infection and increase the
immunity of baby to allergy
 Mother’s milk is baby food that is easily digested because its
nutrient composition is appropriate with baby digestive system
 Mother’s milk is the food that never spoiled
The kind of foods based on content
of substance in it
 1. Carbohydrate
 2. Protein Macronutrient
 3. Fat
 4. Mineral salt
 5. Vitamin Micronutrient
 6. Water
 Kinds of Food Nutrient
and Its function
A. Carbohydrate
 A key source of energy for human body
 1 gram carbohydrate = 4,1 calorie
 Having important role in metabolism process
 Maintaining the balance level of acid and bases,
forming cells, tissue, and organs
 The exceeding carbohydrate will be stored in the
form of glycogen (in the liver and muscle) and fat (in
fat tissue).
 Sources: rice, corn, cassava, potato, sago, wheat.
B. Protein
 Divided into 2 kinds, animal protein (fish,
milk, and meat) and vegetable protein
(soybean, string beans, and other legumes).
 The function of protein:
- forming special growing substances
(hormone, enzyme, antibody, and
chromosome); body defence; cell tissue,
and organ maintenance and reparations
 Lack of protein in everyday food will result
kwashiorkor.
C. Fat
 Divided into 2 kinds, animal fat (meat,
milk, and egg) and vegetable fat (peanut,
coconut).
 Function:
- to create energy
- to dissolve vitamin A, D, E, and K
- to avoid body organs from collision and
cold temperature.
D. Vitamin
 Function: to keep the optimal growth and
health; to protect and control body
instruments.
 Based on its solubility, there are 2 kinds
of vitamin:
1. water - soluble: vitamin B and C
2. fat – soluble : vitamin A, D, E, and K
 One who is lack of particular vitamin may
suffer avitaminosis.
 Digestive system consist of:
1. Digestive tract
consist of:
- mouth - large intestine
- Oesophagus - anus
- stomach
- small intestine
a. duodenum
b. jejenum
c. ileum
2. The digestive glands
consist of:
- salivary glands
- gastric juice gland
- liver
- pancreas
- intestine gland
Human digestive system
 Digestion Process
No. Organ Gland Enzyme The Function of Enzyme

1. Mouth Salivary Ptyalin enzyme Amylum → maltose

gland (amylase)

2. Pharynx - - There is epiglottis valve

3. Oesophagus There is peristaltic movement

4. Stomach Gastric juice HCL To kill the bacteria and to

gland activate pepsinogen→ pepsin
Pepsine Protein → peptone
Renin To collect milk protein (casein)
5. Small Pancreas Amylase Amylum → glucose
intestine Lipase Fat → fatty acid + glycerol
Tripsin Protein / pepton → amino acid

6. Large Reabsorbing water and

intestine mineral. There are
advantegous Escherichia coli
bacteria
Disorders and diseases in digestive
system
 Constipation
 Parotitis
 Diarrhoea
 Dysentery
 Gastritis
 Apendicitis
Disorder and Diseases in Digestive System
1. Gastritis
Cause: dirty food and the excess of hydrolic acid
Prevention: eat healthy and clean food.
2. Diarrhoea
Cause: irritation on the large intestine mucous
membrane that caused by bacteria, poison substances,
nervous, and so on.
3. Dysentery
Cause: Mycobacterium dysentriae
