chpt 24: digestive system Flashcards
overall function of the digestive system
breakdown nutrients so enzymes, growth, cell division, repair and heat can take place
in depth functions of the digestive system
- ingestion
- secretion
- mixing and propulsion (Molitiy)
- digestion
- absorption
- defecation
what is the secretion function of the digestive sys
secrete acids, water, buffers, enzymes
how Many liters of secretion does the digestive system secrete
7 L
function of enterendocrine cells
- secrets enzymes and hormones
what are the organs G1 or digestive canal
- esophagus
- stomach
- small intestines
- large intestines
- anal canal
the accessory digestive organs
- mouth
- teeth
- tongue
- salivary glands
- liver
- gall bladder
- pancreas
are the accessory digestive organs involved in secertions
no, they aid
peritoneum function
- covers and protects organs (visceral)
- covers cavity (partial)
what are the folds to each other and to other organs of digestive system called
- peritoneum
names of peritoneum folds
- greater omentum
- falciform ligament
- lesser omentum
- mesentery
- mesicolon
- retroperitoneal organs
which is the longest peritoneum fold
- greater omentum
location of greater omentum
- drapes over transverse colon
- coils s.i (like a fatty apron)
(beer belly)
which peritoneum fold/ ligament attaches the liver to ant abdominal wall and diaphragm
- falciform ligament
lesser omentum location/ organs near by
- suspends the stomachs and duodenum from liver
which peritoneum fold binds the jejunum and ileum (s.i) to post abdominal wall
mesentery
mesicolon location/ organ / function
- binds the transverse the colon and sigmoid colon (s.i) to post abdominal wall
which organs are part of the retroperitoneal organs
- ascending and deciding colon
- duodenum
- pancreas
- kidneys
layers of the GI tract
- mucosa
- submuscosa
- muscularis
- serosa
which is the innermost lining/ forms the lumen of the GI tract
- mucosa
structures/ cells in the mucosa layer
- epithelial cells
- lamina propia (MALT)
- muscualris mucosa
epithelial cells functions
- absorbs nutrients
- contain enteroendocrine cells
which mucosa structure contains mucosa- associated lymphatic tissue (MALT)
lamina propia
what structures does the lamina propria contain
- MALT
- areolar CT, bv, lymphatic vessel
function of MALT
- immune response
- supports epithelial (superior) and muscualris mucosa (inferior)
structures in the submucosa
- collagenous fibers
- nerves (sym and para sym)
- bv
- submucosal plexuses / plexuses of messiner (portion of ENS)
which layer of the GI tract is highly vascular
submuscosa
function of submucosal plexuses / plexuses of messiner (portion of ENS)
- regulates activity of mucosa (secretion + increases and decrease surface sa)
- hormones from epithelium
- vasoconstriction of bv
- innervates secretory cells of mucosal glands
which GI tract layer increases the diameter and can store 5L of worth of food (increases capacity of stomach)
Muscularis
location myenteric plexuses/ plexus of aurebach
- muscularis
what muscularis plexus is responsible for controls GI tract molilty/ movement
myenteric plexuses/ plexus of aurebach
serosa is the ___ structure of the GI tract
outermost and is suspended in abdominal cavity
type of cell is the serosa made of
mesothelium ( secrets mucous)
function of serosa
- secrete a serous fluid
which GI tract has a epithelium portion/ visceral pertioneum that lubricates and prevent friction
serosa
muscularis mucosa functions
- smooth muscles fibers to increase surface area
- controls diameter of lumen
which GI tract layer has circular muscles and longitude muscles
- muscularis
teeth aka dentes structures
- enamel
- dentin
- dentinal tubule
- pulp cavity
- cement
- root canal
- periodontal ligament
- apical formamen
- crown
- neck
- roots
crown is
the exposed
what is the completely embedded structure of the teeth
root
what is the 2nd hardest CT
enamel
enamel funciton
- protects the tooth from wear and tear
what structure makes up the majority of the tooth (tiny channels)
dentin
