Overview of Human Digestion System

The document summarizes the key components and organization of the digestive system. It discusses the two types of digestion - mechanical and chemical. It then outlines the major organs that make up the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus. It also lists the accessory organs involved in digestion like the teeth, tongue, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Finally, it provides histological details and images of structures like the stomach, intestines, pancreas and salivary glands.

ACCESSORY DIGESTIVE GLANDS


PANCREAS

1) EXOCRINE PORTION
- synthesizes and secretes enzymes via a system of ducts that are essential for digestion in the intestine

2) ENDOCRINE PORTION
- synthesizes and secretes hormones into the bloodstream to regulate glucose, lipid, and protein metabolism
