Ch 24 test Flashcards
an active process involving conscious choice and decision making
ingestion
digestion
chemical processing of food into small parts for utilization
movement of nutrients from lumen of system into bloodstream
absorption
excretion
removal of wastes
defecation
ejection of waste materials
peritoneum
serous membrane that covers the organs of the abdominal pelvic cavity
ventral mesenteries-2
- lesser omentum
2. falciform ligament
lesser omentum
connects the stomach to the liver
falciform ligament
connects the liver to the diaphragm, seperates the lobes
dorsal mesenteries-3
- greater omentum
- mesentery proper
- mesocolon
greater omentum
hangs as an apron over the anterior of the small intestine
mesentery proper
holds the small intestine
mesocolon
transverse and sigmoid colons
histology digestion- stratefied squamous
mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, anus
histology digestion- simple columnar w goblet cells
secretion and absorption
stomach, small intestine, large intestine
enteroendocrine cells
scattered cells in the tract that secrete hormones
longitudinal folds
folds in mucosa that disappear as the tract fills and expands
plicae
permanent transverse (circular) folds that aid in surface area and churning food
peristalsis
movement of bolus through intestines
short reflexes
receptors stimulate myenteric-> stimulates secretory cells and peristalsis
long reflexes
stimulate CNS-> sympathetic and parasympathetic responses triggered
salivary amylase
breaks down starches (carbs) in mouth
lingual lipase
breaks down lipids in mouth
uvula
extension off soft palate to ensure food does not get swallowed until properly chewed
salivary glands-3
- parotid gland-25%
- sublingual gland- 5%
- submandibular glands-70%
parotid glands
largest glands in cheek, produce amylase
sublingual glands
floor of mouth, produces buffers and lubricants
submandibular glands
secretes buffers, glycoproteins, mucins, and amylase
types of teeth-4
- incisors-blade
- cuspids (canines)- tearing
- bicuspids (premolars)-course grinding
- molars- fine grinding
