ch 17 Flashcards
Large, elongated gland behind the stomach; produces digestive enzymes and hormones
pancreas
Removal of undigested wastes through the anus
elimination
Muscular sac on the inferior surface of the liver that stores bile
gallbladder
Small finger-like projections from the surface of the membrane that increase the surface area
villi
- Epithelial membrane that secretes a thin, watery fluid
- outermost layer
serosa or serous membrane
Enzyme that changes starches into simple sugars
amylase
Large organ inferior to the diaphragm in the superior abdomen; secreted bile, storage, detoxification, and inter-conversion of nutrients
liver
Process of breaking down food into absorb-able particles
digestion or catabolism
Enzyme that aids the digestion of lactose
lactase
- Material that covers a tooth
- the hardest substance in the body
enamel
the process of taking up or assimilating a substance
absorption
- Epithelial membrane that produces mucus
- mucus membrane
mucosa
Salivary gland located inferior and anterior to the ear
Parotid salivary gland
Type of lipid composed of glycerol and fatty acids
lipids or fats
Organs in the ventral body cavities , especially that abdominal cavities
visceral
Spitting of large molecules by the addition of water
hydrolysis
Fluid that is made and released by the liver and stored in the gallbladder
common bile
First portion of the small intestine
duodenum
Building blocks of proteins
amino acids or peptides
Serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and forms the outer layer of the abdominal cavity
peritoneum
needed to…
- help digest food
- rid the body of waste products
- make substances, called clotting factors, that keep the blood flowing well, among other task
liver
- teeth located in the upper R and L , and lower R and L of the mouth
- helps you tear into foods like meat and vegetables
canine or cuspids
Substance produced in the liver that emulsifies fats
bile
hepat/a
liver
3 main functions of the digestive system
- digestion
- absorption
- elimination
parts of a tooth
- enamel
- dentin
- pulp
- gums,
- root canal
- bone
- nerves
- blood vessels
- crown
- root
3 parts of small intestine
- duodenum
- jejunum
- ileum
the largest salivary gland and where it is
Parotid gland - inferior and anterior to the ear
function of the pancreas
Produces enzymes that digest fats, carbs, proteins, and nucleic acids
function of the gallbladder
stores bile
order of tissue from outermost to innermost of the digestive wall
Serosa, musclours (anter), muscularis (inner), submucosa, mucosa
At the bottom of the stomach, it governs that passage of food out of the stomach into the small intestine
pyloric sphincter
where is the appendix attached
The end of the large intestine (the cecum)
parts of large intestines and which empties into the rectum
Ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid (emptied into rectum)
waste product of protein metabolism synthesized in the liver
urea
what is bilirubin a byproduct of
Natural breakdown of RBC
function of bile
Carry away waste and breakdown fats during digestion
where the cystic duct and the common hepatic duct merge
hilium
where the most nutrients is absorbed
small intestine
how the hepatic portal system carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver and why this is necessary
Converts glycogen to glucose
Modifies fats
Stores vitamins and iron
Detoxifies food and poisons.
