Anatomy Of The Upper Digestive System And Stomach Flashcards
Alimentary
Pertaining to food or nutrition
Papillae
A small protrusion or process
Components?
Mouth Pharynx Alimentary canal Accessory glands Blood vessels Nerves
Pharynx
Swallowing
Skeletal muscle
Alimentary canal
Connects from esophagus to anus
Enter Canal along body
Accessory glands
Salivary glands
Endocrine glands
Exocrine glands…pancreas liver
Glandular tissue
Blood vessels
Hepatic blood circulation
Providing oxygen to organs
Nerves
Controls effector tissues Smooth muscle/skeletal muscle/ glands Walls of alimentary canal Esophagus and anus: skeletal In between: both
Factors involving digestion
Physical: chewing grasping mixing
Chemical: hcl Naco2
Biological: hormones and enzymes and microbes
Anatomy of upper digestive system: boundaries
Dorsal: hard and soft pellet
Cadual: entering pharynx
Ventral: soft tissue…floor of mouth
Lateral/cranial: teeth
Anatomy of upper digestive system: vestibule
In front of teeth and lips between teeth and cheeks…in front of cranial boundary
Temporary storage, protects mouth cavity proper
Anatomy of upper digestive system: lips
Must have muscle tissue
Most flexible: horses
Least flexible: pigs
Anatomy of upper digestive system: hard palate
Non-secreting mucous membrane
Lampers: inflammation of raphe
Anatomy of upper digestive system: tongue composition
Smooth and skeletal muscle
Anatomy of upper digestive system: tongue divisions
Tip: loose part (grasping) cranial
Body: tip to middle (frenulum)
Root: most stable (swallowing) caudal
Anatomy of upper digestive system: tongue papillae
Raised area
Filiform: tip hairs…no taste receptors
Fungiform: sparse…toad spools…taste receptors
Valate: body…taste receptors/ serous glands
Anatomy of upper digestive system:
Tongue functions
Grasping swallowing Tasting Grooming Food processing Nursing Vocalization
Anatomy of upper digestive system: salivary glands ( parotid)
Exocrine
Saliva aids in swallowing
Located at jaw
Autonomic
Anatomy of upper digestive system: salivary glands (mandibular)
Located on sides of the mandible
Duct directs toward lower jaw
Anatomy of upper digestive system: salivary glands (sublingual)
Located under tongue along body of nerve
Anatomy of upper digestive system: teeth (substance)
Consists of body and root; crown is portion above the gum line. Approx 95% of the tooth development takes place prior to tooth eruption
Teeth-dentine
Formed by inward movement of odontoblasts; contains the pulp cavity
When pulp cavity is exposed., it fills in with secondary dentine
Teeth- enamel
Outside covering; hardest substance; formed by outward growth of enamelblasts; covered by cuticle
Teeth- cement
Formed by cementoblasts; outer covering turns black when stained with mucus and grass juice
