Digestive Indetofication Flashcards
Visceral peritoneum
Covers the surface of most digestive organs
Parietal peritoneum
Membrane that lines the body wall
Peritoneal cavity
Slit like cavity between parietal and visceral peritoneums containing fluid and allows for organs to slide around some while digesting
Mesentery
Provide route for blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves, holds organs in place and stores fat
Splanchnic circulation
Circulation of blood to intestinal organs. It increases after food has been eaten
Oral orifice
Anterior opening to oral cavity
Red margin

Labial frenulum
Fold of skin that connect lips to gum(there are two: one superior, one inferior)
Palatoglossal arch
Anchors tongue to soft palate
Palatopharyngeal arch
Connects tongue to Oropharynx
Lingual frenulum
Anchors tongue to floor of oral cavity and limits posterior movement
Filiform papillae
Gives tongue rough surface to lick and move food
Fungiform, circumvallate, and foliate papillae
Papillae on tongue that house taste buds
Terminal sulcus
Groove that determines where the part of the tongue in the oral cavity ends
Parotid gland
Located anterior to the ear and produces saliva
Parotid duct
Carries saliva from gland to mouth. It runs parallel to zygomatic arch and empties saliva next to the right upper molar
Incisors
Front teeth
Canines
Rip and tear
Molars
Smash and grind
Esophageal hiatus
Location in the diaphragm where the esophagus passes
Cardiac orifice
Place where esophagus and stomach join
Cardiac sphincter
Clave that surrounds the cardiac orifice
