Digestive System Flashcards
- derived from stomodeal ectoderm
- involved in prehension, mastication, ingestion and physical and enzymatic digestion
Digestive Organs
Adult fate of stomodeum?
Oral cavity
Adult fate of foregut?
Pharynx, esophagus, stomach
Cranial duodenum
Adult fate of midgut?
Caudal duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum, ascending colon, cranial half of transverse colon
Adult fate of hindgut?
Caudal half of transverse colon, descending colon and cloaca
Derivatives of oral cavity
lips, gums, teeth and tongue
Derivatives of cranial duodenum
Liver, gall bladder and pancreas
Derivatives of cloaca?
Rectum and part of anal canal
Derived from stomodeum and neural crest?
Teeth
Derived from stomodeum and pharynx
Tongue
Derived from stomodeum
Salivary glands
A thin membrane formed by fusion of the stomodeal ectoderm and pharyngeal endoderm
Oral plate
- forms the roof of the oral cavity
Hard palate
- with branched tubuloalveolar mucous or mixed palatine glands
T. submucosa of horse
- palatine bone
T. muscularis of hard palate
- separates the nasopharynx and oropharynx
Soft palate
- a mucotaneous junction between the skin and the mucous membrane of oral cavity
Lip
- thin skin with ordinary or sinus hair
- think hypodermis blends with skeletal muscle and fibroelastic c.t.
External surface or skin surface
- skin with no hairs, thin transparent epidermis that thickens toward the mucuous membrane
Transition zone or free margin
- mineralized structures embedded in the alveolar sockets of the lower and upper jaws
Teeth
- a type of teeth that stops growing after eruption
- present in carnivores and humans
Brachydont
- comprises most of the crown, the visible part of the tooth.
Enamel
- main bulk to the tooth that fills up the root, part of the crown and encloses the dental pulp
Dentin
- thin bone-like encrustation of the root immediately external to the dentin
Cementum
