Ch.24 Digestive System Flashcards
Structures of Digestive System(4)⭐️
-Ingestion of Food
-Digestion of Food into nutrients
-Absorption of Nutrients
-Removal of wastes(fecal matter)
2 Types of Digestion & meaning⭐️
• Mechanical: breaks large food particles to small (chewing)
• Chemical: breaking of covalent bonds by digestive enzymes (chewing w/ saliva)
Major Digestive Organs(OcPESSiLiRA)⭐️
Oral Cavity(mouth), Pharynx, Esophagus, Stomach, Small intestine, Large Intestine, Rectum, Anus
Accessory Digestive Organs(SgLGbP)⭐️
Salivary glands, Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas
also: tongue, teeth, & secrete glands
Digestive Tract
Tube from mouth to anus, MD organs, also Gastrointestinal Tract or GI Tract
Subunits of Carbs, Proteins, Lipids
C- Monosaccharides
P- Amino Acids
L- Glycerol attached to fatty acids (Triglycerides)
Swallowing of food⭐️
Deglutition
Functions of Digestive System(7)⭐️
Ingestion: food into oral cavity/mouth
Mastication: process of chewing
Propulsion: food into GI Tract
Mixing: movement of food back & forth
Secretion: lubricate, liquefy, digest
Digestion, Absorption, & Elimination
Type of movement in large intestine
Mass movement of mixing waves in stomach
The Sequence of Secretion (lubricate, liquify, digest)
Mucus lubricates
Water liquifies
Enzymes digest
Digestive Tract food process between 1:oral cavity and 2:pharynx (Peristalsis)⭐️
Bolus of food
DT: Portions of 2:Pharynx (2)⭐️
3)Oropharynx
4)Laryngopharynx
DT: Sphincter between 5:Esophagus & 6:Stomach ⭐️
Cardiac Sphincter (involuntary control)
DT: Sphincter between 6:Stomach & (Small intestine) 7: Duodenum⭐️
Pyloric Sphincter (involuntary control)
DT: Portions of Small Intestine⭐️
7: Duodenum (proximal)
8: Jejunum (middle)

Fecal matter
Duct T: Makes up the Biliary Tract near 7:Duodenum(3)⭐️
