ANAT101A FINALS Flashcards
Deals with the visceral organs of digestive, respiratory and urogenital systems
Splanchnology
System responsible for digestion, nutrient absorption and elimination of waste products in the form of stool/feces
Digestive system
What are the body parts included in the accessory digestive structures?
Teeth, tongue, cheeks, lips and palate
What are the body parts included in the digestive tract/alimentary canal?
Mouth (oral cavity), pharynx, esophagus, glandular stomach, small intestine, large intestine, anus
What are the glands included in the digestive glands?
Salivary, liver, pancreas
It connects the mouth to esophagus and serves as a common passageway for food, water, and air.
Pharynx
What are the three apertures of pharynx?
Oropharynx, nasopharynx, and laryngopharynx
Bounded dorsally by palate and upper set of teeth, laterally by the cheeks, ventrally by lower set of teeth and tongue, rostrally by upper and lower lips, and caudally by oropharynx.
Mouth
What is the junction between the three apertures of pharynx?
Pharyngeal proper
Ingesta inside the stomach with gastric juice.
Chime
What are the three segments of esophagus?
Cervical, thoracic and abdominal
Long muscular tube serves as passageway for bolus.
Esophagus
The four layers of esophagus are also present in the stomach, small intestine and large intestine. True or False?
False, tunica adventitia is for esophagus only.
Thoracic segment becomes abdominal segments through what specific muscle?
Hiatus esophagi of the diaphragm
Bolus is either strongly acidic/basic. True or False?
False, slightly acidic or basic.
What are the 4 concentric layers of esophagus?
Tunica mucosa (inner), Tunica submucosa (2nd), Tunica muscularis (3rd), Tunica adventitia (outer)
What are the components of digestive juice?
Hydrochloric acid and pepsinogen
ESOPHAGUS:ADVENTITIA::STOMACH:?
SEROSA
It is the stomach’s surface facing the outside of abdomen.
Parietal surface
Tunica serosa is a connective tissue that is relatively thinner than Tunica adventitia. True or False?
True
Muscular belt which temporarily stores chime
Stomach
Among the four parts of stomach, which one is funnel-shaped?
Pylorus
What are the two sphincters present in the stomach?
Cardiac and pyloric
What are the four parts of stomach?
Cardia, fundus, body, pylorus
Among the four parts of stomach, which one is next to esophagus?
Cardia
What is the role of a sphincter?
Prevents the backflow of ingesta
Its chief cells are responsible for the secretion of pepsinogen.
Gastric glands
They are responsible for the secretion of HCI.
Parietal cell
It is the curvature present on the visceral surface.
Lesser curvature
It is the stomach’s surface facing the other internal organs.
Visceral surface
It is the curvature present on the visceral surface.
Greater curvature
The right extremity of stomach is on the parietal surface. True or False?
False, visceral surface.
Small intestine is relatively shorter than large intestine. True or False?
False, longer.
What is entrance part of the stomach?
Cardia
What is the most thick segment of small intestine?
Duodenum
What is the exit part of stomach?
Pylorus
What are the 3 segments of small intestine?
Duodenum, jejunum, ilium
These two ducts empty duodenum’s contents.
Bile duct and pancreatic duct
The longest segment of small intestine
Jejunum
The most movable segment of small intestine
Jejunum
What is the certain role of ilium?
Defends the intestine against microorganism
The most absorptive segment of small intestine
Jejunum
Ilium has defense mechanism because of ___.
Peyer’s patches (lymphoid nodules)
It is a tube that connects stomach with the large intestine.
Small intestine
The segment of small intestine starts at?
Pylorus
What is/are the mesenteric part of small intestine?
Jejunum and ilium
Duodenum is slightly movable. True or False?
False, it is a fixed segment.
It extends from the termination of ilium to the anus.
Large intestine
It is a segment of large intestine that may serve as site of fermentation in some animals especially post-gastric fermentor animals.
Cecum
What is the longest segment of large intestine?
Colon
Colon is main site for ___ and ___ reabsorption.
Water and electrolyte
Cecum is the counterpart of ___ in humans.
Appendix
Terminal segment of alimentary canal
Anus
What is the normal time for the transit time?
12 hours
Serves as temporary storage site for food or feces prior to defecation
Rectum
Among the three types of secretion, which has the water consistency?
Serous
Fermentation in rabbit and horses takes place in ___.
Cecum
Liver is 7-sided structure. True or False?
False, 6-sided.
