digestive system
-digestive tract and accessory organs
digestive tract
-mouth
-pharynx
-esophagus
-stomach
-si and li
accessory organs
-teeth
-tongue
-salivary glands
-pancrease
-liver
-gallbladder
digestive system functions
-ingestion, mechanical processing, digestion, secretion, absorption, exceretion and compaction
mechanical processing
chewing and swallowing
secretion
secretion of products by the lining of the digestive tract and accessory organs
absopriton
nutrients from the small intestien to the bloodstream
compaction
progressive dehydration of organic wastes
stomach
enzymatic break down of food
small intestine
enzymatic break down and absorption of nutrients tot he bloodstream
salivary glands
enzymes that begin digestion
pancrease
enzymes that enter the small intestine to digest food q
liver
produce bile for fat emulsification in small intestine
gallbladder
stores bile
large intestine
remove solid waste, reabsorb water into bloodstream and house bacteria that make vitamin k for blood clotting
four layers to digestive tract
-mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa and serosa/ visceral peritoneum
mucosa
inner lining of digestive tract
-in small intestine it makes plicae/ folds to increase surface area for absorption
submucosa
-surrounds muscularis mucosae
-blood vessels and lymph layers
-submucosal plexus innervates it (sensory neurons, parasympathetic ganglia and postganglionic fibers)
muscularis externa
-surround submucosa
-smooth muscle fibers and innervated by the myenteric plexus
meyenteric plexus
-muscularis externa
-parasympathetic ganglia nad sympathetic posganglion fibers
serosa
covers muscularis externa
-outermost layer of the digestive system
peristalsis
-muscularis externa propelling thing through digestive tract
