Passing frequent watery bowel movements; usually accompanies gastrointestinal disorders

24
Emesis
Vomiting usually with some force
25
Jaundice
Yellowing of skin, mucus membrane, and the whites of the eyes caused by the deposit of bile pigment from too much bilirubin in the blood
26
Groin
The area between the abdomen and the thigh on both sides of the body
27
Tracheal
Pertaining to the trachea
28
Salivary glands
Exocrine glands with ducts that open in the mouth, produces saliva which makes blouse of food easier to swallow and begins digestive process
29
Uvula
Hanging down flap from posterior edge of soft palate
30
Tongue
Muscular organ in the mouth works to move food around and is necessary for speech
31
Enamel
Hardest substance in the body
32
Deciduous
20 teeth that begin to erupt between 6 mos. and 28 mos. of age. Baby teeth
33
Oropharynx
Middle part of the pharynx that food and drink is received from the mouth
34
Esophagus
Tube that carries food from the pharynx to the stomach
35
Gastrointestinal system (GI)
Oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum and anus
36
The accessory organs
Organs that participate in the digestion process, but are not part of the continuous alimentary canal (the gut)
37
What are the accessory glands and how are they connected?
Liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and salivary glands Connected to gut by ducts
38
Small intestine
Average length of 20 feet, is the longest portion of the alimentary canal and has 3 sections: duodenum, jejunum and ileum
39
Duodenum
Extends from the pyloric sphincter to the jejunum and is about 10 to 12 inches long. Digestion is completed in the duodenum after the chyme from the stomach is mixed with digestive juices from the pancreas and gallbladder
40
Jejunum
The middle portion extends from the duodenum to the ileum
41
Ileum
The last portion of the small intestine and extends from the jejunum to the colon. At 12 feet in length it is the longest portion of the small intestine
42
Ileocecal valve
Sphincter that connects ileum to the colon
43
Colon
Approximately 5 feet long extends from the cecum to the anus
44
Blouse
Saliva mixed with food in the mouth
45
Amylase
Digestive enzymes that begins the digestion of carbohydrates
46
Three pairs of salivary glands
Parotid - in front of the ears Mandibular glands - floor of the mouth Sublingual glands - floor of the mouth
47
Gallbladder
(GB) bile produced by liver is stored in the gallbladder. In response to fat in the chyme, the muscular walls of the gallbladder contracts and sends bile back down the cystic duct and into the common bile duct which carries bile to the duodenum which it is able to emulsify the fat in chyme
48
Hepatic duct and cystic duct
Bile produced by the liver travels down the hepatic and cystic ducts into the gallbladder The gallbladder sends the bile back down the cystic duct
49
Pancreatic duct
Connects the pancreas to the duodenum
50
Pancreas
Produces two important secretions for digestion: buffers and pancreatic enzymes Is also an endocrine gland that produces the hormone insulin and glucagon, which play a role in regulating the level of glucose in the blood
51
Buffers
Neutralize acidic chyme that has just left the stomach
52
Pancreatic enzymes
Chemically digest carbohydrates carbohydrates, fats and proteins
