Anatomy Flashcards
Function of digestive Anatomy
Breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules that can be absorbed and used by the body
Lump or collection from “meal”
Bolus/chyme/digesta
Mechanical digestion
Teeth, smooth muscle contractions
Chemical digestion
Enzymes
Digestive tract
Specialized tubular pathway plus associated organs/glands (salivary glands, pancreas, liver)
3 anatomical regions of digestive tract
Alimentary canal, pharynx, buccal cavity
Cloaca function
Passing of digestion and reproduction
4 distinct regions of alimentary canal
Esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine
Gastrointestinal tract (GI)
Stomach, small intestine, large intestine
Lips anterior border
Buccal cavity
Teeth, tongue, hard and soft palate, lips, and cheeks
Buccal cavity
Palatoglossal arch is posterior border
Buccal cavity
Opening of ducts associated with salivary glands
Buccal cavity
Primary palate
Skull
Secondary palate
Hard and soft (hard is skull → maxilla → premaxilla)
Internal nare
Choana
Crown
In gum line
Root or base
Below gum line
Sits within an alveolus (socket)
Root
3 basic anatomic regions of teeth
Enamel, dentin, cementum
Hardest substance in body
Enamel
Can’t be produced once tooth erupts
Enamel
Similar to bone, but harder and stronger
Dentin
Produced throughout life time
Dentin
Incremental lines of Ron Eloner
Dentin
Surrounds pulp cavity
Dentin
Mucous connective tissue
Pulp cavity
How blood vessels and nerves enter pulp cavity
Apical foreman
Why pulp cavity has nerves?
To know if tooth is injured
Why pulp cavity has blood vessels?
For nutrients and move waste
Similar to bone, anchoring tissue
Cementum
Similar tooth appearance throughout buccal cavity
Homodont
Different tooth appearance (incisors, canines, premolars, molars)
Heterodont
Diphyodont, exception continuous growing incisors
Beaver
Diphyodont, continuous growing molars
Elephant
Continuous replacement of teeth throughout lifespan
Polyphydont
Examples of polyphydont
Alligator, shark
2 sets of teeth throughout lifespan (deciduous teeth and permanent teeth)
Diphyodont
Snake fang
Hollow, delivers venom
Narwhal tusk
Left upper incisor
Elephant tusks
Both upper incisors
Walks tusks
Both upper canines
Sicesor like, premolars in mammals, and tarsier has
Only these teeth
Sectorial teeth
Examples of animals with no teeth
Bird, anteater, “baleen whale”
No teeth, hair net like structure
“Baleen whales”
Tonsils, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, tubotympanic recess (tympanic bulla), glottis and epiglottis are found in which region
Pharynx
Epiglottis
Flap or covering
Glottis
Diaphragm
Oval of smooth muscle that clamps shut, but when open opening in middle can be penitrated
Glottis
Protect trachea
Glottis and epiglottis
Where swallowing or deglutition is initiated
Pharynx
Border from pharynx to esophagus
Glottis or epiglottis
What are the 3 seals?
Lips close, back of tongue and soft palate meet, and back of tongue and epiglottis
Layers of alimentary canal
Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis external, and adventitia/serosa
Innermost layer of alimentary canal, comes into contact with food, absorption occurs, and muscularis mucosa (interna)
Mucosa
Connective tissue, plexus of autonomic nervous system ( alimentary canal)
Submucosa
Inner circular and outer longitudinal smooth muscle layers (alimentary canal)
Muscularis externa
Outermost layer, associated with connective tissue (alimentary canal)
Adventita/serosa
Mucus, stratified epithelium, papillae, keratinized (in some animals)
Esophagus
Cardia, fundus, pylorus
Stomach
Top of stomach
Fundus
Curve of stomach
Pylorus
Only found in mammals stomach, sphincter
Cardia
Largest portion of stomach, contains gastric juice
Fundus
What is gastric juice made of?
Parietal (hci), chief- proteolytic enzymes, and mucous
What helps produce gastric juice?
Fundric cells, fundric glands
Where the sphincter and mucous cells in the stomach are found
Pylorus
What does the small intestine help with
Absorption
Surface area of small intestine
Place circularis, villus, microvillus
What are the three regions of the small intestine?
Duodenum, jejunum, ileum
Border between small and large intestines
Ileocolic value
