organs that are located within the peritoneum

18
Q

Retroperitoneal organs

A

located outside posterior to the peritoneum

19
Q

Submucosa

A

areolar connective tissue, has abundant amount of elastic tissue that helps organs to regain shape after strong large meal

20
Q

Muscularis external

A

Muscle layer responsible for segmentation and peristalisis

21
Q

Serosa

A

Outmost layer which is made up visceral peritoneum

22
Q

Peristalis

A

Moves food from the pharynx to the esophogus to the stomach

Involuntary process

23
Segmentation
Occrs in instestines
24
What happens during ingestion?
Food is moistened by saliva
25
Salivary amylase
chemical breakdown of fats
26
Lyozymes
enzyme that work together with immuglobin
27
Mucin
protein that helps form a gel-like coating that lubiricates the bolus of food
28
Stomach
muscle organ that stretch to accomdate a high vuolume of food. Located in the left superior region of abdomen
29
What is the primary role of stomach?
storage and mechanical breakdown of food
30
What is Rugae?
series of ridges that allow stomach to expand
31
What are the types of gastric glands of mucosa?
Mucous Parietal Cheif Endrocrine cells
32
Endocrine - G Cell
release hormones into blood
33
Parietal Cell
secrete instrinsic factor, located in small intestines. Release Hydrochloric acid
34
What are Chiefs Cells?
activation of pepsinogen ( also known as pepsin) Break down protein into smaller peptide chains
35
What are mucous?
secretes bicardonate-containing mucus to protect the stomach from the acidity and digestive enzymes
36
Cardiac Region
where food is emptied in the stomach
37
Fundus
most superior region of the stomach

What is the largest and most central region of digestion?
Body
39
Liver
Not part of alimentary canal. 4 lobes organ
40
What is the function of gastrointesinal system when it comes to the Liver?
production of bile, nutrients meyabolism, detoxifcation
41
What is the primary funciton of liver?
Synthesis of bile
42
ENS - Enteric nervous System
operate to the brain and the spinal cord and communicate though CNS, PNS, SNS
43
What are the two main partd of ENS?
Submucosal and Myenteric plexuses
44
Submucosal
embedded with connective tissue. function is to regulate secretion, absoprtion, contraction of submucosal mucle and blood flow
45
Myenteric plexus
located between circular and longitudinal layers of musclaris external
