Digestive System 1 Flashcards
Outline the activities of the digestive system
Activities include: 1) intake 2) mechanical breakdown 3) chemical breakdown by enzymes 4) absorption of nutrients 5) elimination of undigested matter
3 parts of the digestive system
1) oral cavity 2) tubular digestive system 3) accessory glands
4 components of the WALL of the GI tract
1) mucuosa (epithelium, lamina propria, musculais mucosa) 2) submucosa 3) muscularis externa 4) serosa
3 components of the mucosa layer of the wall
1) epithelium (stratified squamous epithelium) 2) lamina propria (areolar CT) 3) muscularis mucosa (inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of smooth muscle)
what components are inside the lamina propria that attaches mucosa epithelium?
1) aereolar CT 2) blood vessels 3) lymphatic tissue 4) glands.
the intestines are suspended by____
mesentaries
3 components of the submucosa layer
1) submucosal gland 2) blood vessel 3) submucosal nerve plexus
the muscularis externa is composed of an inner ___ layer and an outer ___ layer with a ____ nerve plexus in between.
the muscularis externa is composed of an inner CIRCULAR layer and an outer LONGITUDINAL layer with a MYENTERIC/AUERBACH nerve plexus in between.
the submucosa has ___ that controls contraction of muscularis mucosa
ganglia (submucosa plexus of meissner)
T/F: auerbachs plexus is located in the submucosa
FALSE. the auerbachs plexus is located in the muscularis externa between the two layers, but the PLEXUS OF MEISSNER is a ganglia located in the submucosa.
The serosa is made of this _____ connective tissue.
thin areolar connective tissue.
Serosa involves the mesothelium layer, or ___ ___, which covers the tract. What is it made of?
Serosa involves the mesothelium layer, or VISCERAL PERITONEUM, which covers the tract. made of simple squamous epithelium (but the serosa is made of areolar connective tissue)
3 zones of the lip
1) cutaneous (external surface where moustache could grow) 2) vermillion (red part of lip) 3) Internal zone/oral mucosa
what type of epithelium makes up the cutaneous zone of the lip?
thin KERATINIZED stratified sqamous epithelium
T/f: the vermillion zone of thel ip contains glands and hair follicles.
false. no glands = readily gets dry with cold weather.
how does the vermillion zone get its red color?
lots of blood vessels. Has very thin stratified squamous epithelium.
What type of epithelium composes the internal zone? what does this zone contain?
made of stratified squamous epithelium (WET/NON keratinized). Has accessory salivary glands.
What is this a slide of? Label it.
Lip section.
- S= CUTANEOUS skin layer (where moustache grows, may contain follicles (F) and sweat glands)
V= Vermillion layer. Contains blood vessels and thin layer os stratified squamous epithelium that is transparent to blood vessels, allowing for characteristic red hue of lips
OM = oral mucosa Internal zone (faces lumen inside mouth) = is opposite side of skin. Contains minor salivary glands (G) and muscle (M)
The mouth is lined by ___ ___ epithelium, which is mainly ____ except;
STRATIFIED SQUAMOUS epithlium. Mosly NON-Keratinized except HARD PALATE, GUMS, and FILIFORM PAPILLAE of tongue.
3 types of accessory salivary glands
1) serous (stains dark) –> produces thin, watery secretions.
2) mucous –> appear clear.
3) mixed.
V shaped groove of the tongue
sulcus terminalis
the ___ ___ attaches the ventral surface to the floor of the oral cavity
lingual frenulum
the anterior portion of the tongue has 3 types of papillae. What ar they?
1) filiform
2) fungiform
3) folliate
Most numerous type of tongie papillae. Are they keritanized or not? Do they have taste buds?
filiform. They are HEAVILY keratinized and do NOT HAVE taste buds.
