Q

Why are accessory organs important?

A

They secrete many substances necessary for digestion, yet these organs do not come in direct contact with food.

Epithelial layer of the mucosa consist of this.

100
Q

Surface Mucous Cells

A

Secrete mucus, which protects the stomach lining from erosion by stomach acid and proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes.

101
Q

Chief Cells

A

Secrete pepsinogen (the inactive state of a proteolytic enzyme).

102
Q

Parietal Cells

A

Secrete HCL.

103
Q

Pepsinogen

A

The inactive state if a proteolytic enzyme.

104
Q

Pepsin

A

When pepsinogen comes into contract with HCL, it is activated as a pepsin.

105
Q

Specialized Cells of the Mucosa

A

Surface Mucous Cells, Chief Cells and Parietal Cells

106
Q

Mucosa (Read)

A

Deep in the epithelial layer is the lamina propria, a connective tissue layer. The deepest layer of the mucosa is the muscularis mucosa, a smooth muscle layer that moves the mucosa. The submucosa is the next layer and is typically lighter in color in prepared slides.

107
Q

Muscularis

A

The next layer in the stomach after the Submucosa.

108
Q

Oblique Layer

A

The inner layer of the muscularis.

109
Q

Circular Layer

A

The middle layer of the muscularis.

110
Q

Longitudinal Layer

A

An outer layer of the muscularis.

111
Q

Serosa

A

The outermost layer of the stomach.

112
Q

Serosa

A

It is composed of a thin layer of connective tissue and simple squamous epithelium.

113
Q

Three layers of the Muscularis

A

Oblique Layer, Circular Layer and Longitudinal Layer

114
Q

Small Intestine

A

It is small in diameter, is approximately 5 m (17 feet) long in living humans.

Can be longer in cadaveric specimens due to the relaxing of the smooth muscle.

It is typically 3 to 4 cm (1.5 inches) in diameter when empty.

115
Q

Small Intestine

A

Movement through the small intestine occurs by peristalsis, which is smooth muscle contraction.

Primary Function: Absorption of Nutrients Mostly Occur

116
Q

Duodenum

A

First part of small intestine, a C-shaped structure attached to the pyloric region of the stomach.

Begins in the body cavity and then moves behind the parietal peritoneum and returns to the body cavity.

Approximately 25 cm (10 inches long)

117
Q

Pancreas

A

Duodenum recieves fluid from the pancreas.

118
Q

Gallbladder

A

Duodenum recieves fluid from the gallbladder.

119
Q

Jejunum

A

The Second Portion of the Small Intestine.

120
Q

Ileum

A

The Terminal Portion of the Small Intestine.

Approximately 3 m (10 feet) long.

121
Q

Ileocecal Valve

A

A closure between the small intestine and large intestine is called this.

Keeps material in the large intestine from reentering the small intestine.

122
Q

Duodenojejunal Flexure

A

The junction between the duodenum and the jejunum.

123
Q

______ distinguishes the small intestine from both the stomach and the large intestine.

A

Villi

124
Q

Villi

A

Fingerlike projections that increase the surface area of the mucosa.

125
Q

What increases the surface area of the mucosa?

A

Villi in the Small Intestine.

126
Q

Blood Vessels

A

Each villus contains blood vessels that transport sugars and amino acids from the intestine to the liver.

In Small Intestine

127
Q

Lacteals

A

Contained in the villi. Transport fatty acids via lymphatics to the venous system in the Small Intestine.

Give the lining of the Small Intestine a velvety appearance to the naked eye.

128
Q

Simple Columnar Epithelium

A

The Inner Lining of the Small Intestine consist of this tissue with Goblet cells.

Jejunum and Ileum lack these glands.

130
Q

Aggregated Lymph Nodules or Peyer Patches

A

The Ileum is distinguished by this in the mucosa and submucosa.

These Lymphatic Nodules produce lymphocytes, which protect the body from the bacterial flora in the lumen of the small intestine.

A
  1. The Hepatic Ducts, which carry BILE from the Liver Lobes, combine to form the Common Hepatic Duct.
  2. The Common Hepatic Duct combines with the Cystic Duct from the Gallbladder to form the Common Bile Duct.
  3. The Common Bile Duct and the Pancreatic Duct combine to form the Hepatopancreatic Ampulla.
  4. The Hepatopancreatic Ampulla empties Bile and Pancreatic Secretions into the Duodenum at the Major Duodenal Papilla.
  5. The Accessory Pancreatic Duct Empties Pancreatic Secretions into the Duodenum at the Minor Duodenal Papilla.
