digestive system Flashcards
a serous mebrane
peritoneum
it is attached to abdominal organ
mesentry
connects the lesser curvature of the stomach to the liver and diaphragm
lesser omentum
connects the greater curvature of stomach to the transverse colon and posterior body wall
greater omentum
for mastication
lips and cheeks
large muscular organ
tongue
adult has 32
kid has 20
teeth
forms as roofs of the oral cavity
palate and tonsils
palate: contains bones
hard palate
palate: contains skeletal muscle and connective tissue
soft palate
produces and regulated saliva
salivary glands
salivary glands: enters to the oral cavity through the 2nd molar
parotid glands
salivary glands: produce more serous than mucous secretions
submandibular
salivary glands: smallest gland and produce mainly mucous
sublingual glands
mixture of serous and helps breakdown foods
saliva
saliva: contains mucin
mucous fluid
saliva: breakdowns starch
salivary amylase
for chewing
mastication
connects the mouth to the esophagus
pharynx
3 types of pharynx
nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx
most stratified squamous epithelium
esophagus
a muscular hollow organ
stomach
parts of stomach
cardia,fundus,body, pylorus
produce churning action to the stomach
muscularis layer
folds in the stomach
RUGAE
semifluid of food and gastiric secretions
chyme
hormones release by stomach
gastrin
kills microorganisms and activates enzymes
hydrochloric acid
bond of proteins to form smaller peptide chains
pepsin
lubricates the ephitelial cells of stomach wall
mucus
binds with b12 and makes it more readily absorbed in the SI
intrinsic factor
regulated the intrinsic factor
nervous, hormonal mechanism
brains phase of stomach secretions
cephalic phase
produces the greatest volume of gastric secretion
gastric phase
inhibits the gastric secretions of food
intestinal phase
a strong construction
peristaltic waves
absorbs the nutrients
small intestine
located below stomach that surrounds the pancreas
buodenum
marks the division between the duodenum and jejunum
suspensory muscle of duodenum
absorbs sugar , amino acids and fatty acids
jejunum
longest part and absorb the final nutrients
illeum
small aggregates of lymphatic tissue found in the mucosa of the ileum
peyer’s patches
run perpendicular to the long axis of the digestive tract
circular folds
numerous cytoplasmic extensions
microvilli
