33
Q

Aka “Throat”
- 3 parts
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx

A

Pharynx

34
Q

Aka “Deglutition” Movement of food from the mouth to stomach

A

Act of swallowing

35
Q

Stages of Act of swallowing

A

Voluntary Stage (passageway of bolus into the oropharynx)
Pharyngeal Stage (bolus at oropharynx; fastest stage)
Esophageal Stage (bolus at esophagus)

36
Q

(+) receptor that sends info to deglutition center (lower pons & medulla)

A

Oropharynx

37
Q

Deglutition center will command the ff:

A

Soft palate + uvula (will move up to close off the nasopharynx)
Larynx (forward + upward)
Epiglotis (backward + downward) to widen the opening of the esophagus

38
Q

25 cm long Composed of a smooth muscle
no digestive enzymes
no absorption
Passageway of bolus

A

Esophagus

39
Q

2 sphincter of esophagus

A

Upper Esophageal Sphincter
Lower Esophageal Sphincter (cardioesophageal sphincter)

40
Q

C or J- shaped Storage of food (4L or 1 gallon)

A

stomach

41
Q

Parts of the stomach

A

A

Gastric Gland

45
Q

Cells in gastric gland

A

Mucus neck cell (produce mucus)
Chief cell (pepsinogen = pepsin)
