Ch 24 Digestive System Flashcards
Organs include in the digestive system
- Oral cavity(mouth)
- pharynx
- Esophagus
- Stomach
- Small intestine
- Large intestine
Major process of digestive system. write 2
- Ingestion- oral cavity
- Mechanical brakdown - teeth(chewing the food) tongue(facilate swallowing, secretion, taste, smashing food, and degrading food)
Major process of digestive system. write 2
- Propulsion– mainly swallowing, and peristalsis
- Secretions, digestive enzymes, other chemical and hormons.
Major process of digestive system. write 2
- Chemical digestion - bile, HCl and enzymes.
- Absorption - movement of substances from lumen across epithelium, into blood or lymph, may be active or passive.
- Defecation– eliminiation of undugested material and other waste as feces
Name accessory organs
- Teeth
- Tongue
- Salivary glands– secrete lubricating fluid, contain enzymes and break carbohydrates
- Liver – secrete bile, stores nutrients
- Gall bladder — Store bile and concentrate it.
- Pancreas
Pancrease
Endcrine cells – secrete hormones
Exocrine cells– secrete buffers and digestive enzymes.
Functions of Mesentery
- Double layer peritoneum
– Provide route for vessels and nerves to reach digestive viscera
– allow change position and size
– secure organ
– store fat
retroperitoneal oragns
those who have lost their mesentery during development
oral cavity and accessary organ functions
- Sensory analysis of food
- Mechanical digestion
- Lubrication
- Begin chemical digestion (lingual lipase, salivary amylase)
- INitiate swallowing
Functions of tongue
- Mechanical digestion
- manipulation of food
- initiating swallowing
- Sensory analysis with taste buds
- secretions of mucins and lingual lipase
surface involved in chewing
Occlusal surface
Components of teeth
- Enamel- hardest material, avascular and less collagen fiber with excess Ca2+
- Dentin- underlying enamel, shock absorber
- pulp cavity- blood vessels and nerves
- Cement - calcified tissue
Salivary glands
- exocrine glands
- contain serous and mucous cells
Saliva
99.4% water, enzymes, electrolytes, buffers, glycoprotiens, antibodies and wastes.
functions of salivary glands
- cleanse the mouth
- control oral bacteria, protection
- maintain oral pH near neutral
- Dissolve food chemicals for taste
- moisten food to help make bolus
- begin digestion of carbohydrates with salivary amylase
salivary glands names
- parotid gland
- sublingual gland
- submandibular gland
Digestive tract layers
4 layers
- Mucosa
- submucosa layer
- Muscular layer (muscularis externa)
- serosa or adventitia
Mucosa
–Epithelium- stratified squamous or simple columnar
–Lamina Propria -areolar tissue, lymphoid tissue and glands
– muscularis mucosae - smooth muscles
Submucosa
– Areolar connective tissue, blood and lymphatic vessels nerves that serve the wall of GI tract
–Additional lymphoid tissue and glands
