Exam #5 Flashcards
3 functions of digestive system
Absorption, digestion, elimination
Digestive tract
Continuous passage way begins at the mouth and ends at the anus
Peritoneum
Thin shiny serous membrane that lines the abdominal pelvic cavity
Parietal peritoneum
Lines the abdominal cavity
Visceral peritoneum
Covers the organ
Mesentery
Double layer of the paretenium. shapes like a fan.
Mesocolon
Extends from the colon to the posterior abdominal wall.
Greater ommentum
Lower border of the stomach into the pelvic cavity
Mucosa (location and function)
mucosal membrane
Function: is to protect and secrets and absorbs.
Submucosa (location and function)
regulates the digestive juice and intestinal cell nourishment
Muscularis (location and function)
Motility, moves the food in the digestive tract. responsible for peristalsis.
Serosa (location and function)
Protect, support and be a separation between the organs.
The mouth
Oral cavity
Ingestion
receiving food
Mastication
Process of chewing
Starch digestion
saliva (mixes for food for lubrication)
Deglutition
Process of moving the amount of food towards the throat.
The tounge
Muscular organ that projects in the mouth, helps with chewing and swallowing.
Have surface receptors known as taste buds
Incisors
Cutting teeth, anterior part of the oral cavity
Cuspids
K9 deep roots used for tearing food
Premolars
Large grinding teeth (2)
Molars has how many teeth?
3
Dentin
Main substance of the tooth, calcified substance that is harder than bone.
Decidous
Baby teeth
Permanent
Adult 32
Third molars
Wisdom teeth
Gingiva
Gums
Enamel
Hardest substance of the body that covers the crown.
Root
Below the gum line that holds the tooth in place.
Orapharynx
Oral part of the pharynx, visible when you look at the mouth and depress the tongue.
Soft palate
Tissue that forms the posterior roof of the oral cavity
Uvulva
Soft flesh, v shape mask
The esophagus
10 inches of muscle tube, where food is lubricated with mucus and moves by peristalsis into the stomach.
Esophageal hiatus
Opening into the diaphragm.
Hiatal Hernia
Weakened area of the diaphragm
The stomach shape
J shape
Fundus
Superior rounded portion under the 1 side
Body
Largest part
Pylorus
Region of the stomach that leads to the small intestine.
Esophageal Spincher function
If it doesn’t relax we feel like we can’t swallow any food.
Pyloric spincher
The valve between the distal end of the stomach and the small intestine.
The inner most layer of the serous membrane in contact with abdominal organs
Visceral peritoneum
The subdivision of the peritoneum that extends from the colon to the posterior abdominal wall.
Mesocolon
The epithelial tissue lining the esophagus
squamous epithelium
The type of epithelial tissue lining the stomach and intestine
Simple columnar epithelium
Rhythmic contractions of the circular muscle layer that mixes with food
Segmentation
The muscle layer found in the stomach
Oblique
The final and longest section of the small intestine
Illeum
The section of the small intestine that receives gastric juices and food from the stomach
Duodenum
The mixture of gastric juice and food that enters the small intestine
Chyme
Folds in the stomach that are absent if the stomach is full
Rugae
Folds in the intestinal mucosa that are always present
Jejunum
The part of the large intestine just proximal to the anus
Rectum
The blind tube attached to the first part of the large intestine
Vermiform appendix
The spincher that prevents food moving from the large intestine into the small intestine
Ileocecal valve
Finger-like extensions of the mucosa in the small intestine
Villi
A blinded-ended lymphatic vessel that absorbs fat
Lacteal
Bands of longitudinal muscle in the large intestine
Teniae coli
The portion of the large intestine that extends across the abdomen
Transverse colon
The most proximal part of the large intestine
Cecum
The gland that secretes bicarbonate and digestive enzymes
Pancreas
An organ that stores nutrients and releases them as needed into the blood stream
Liver
The accessory organ that stores bile
Gallbladder
The salivary glands that are inferior and anterior to the ear
Parotid gland
Glands found just under the tongue and secrete into the oral cavity
Sublingual gland
A substance that emulsifies fat
Bile
The form in which gloucose is stored in the liver
Glycogen
