Q

pericardium

A
  • pericardial sac
  • covering that encloses the heart and the proximal ends of the large blood vessels to which it attaches
  • fibrous pericardium(covers the double layered serous membrane), visceral pericardium/epicardium(covers the heart), parietal pericardium(covers the inner surface of the fibrous pericardium)

Q

atria vs. ventricles

A
Atria:
-have thin walls
-receive blood returning to the heart
Ventricles:
-force the blood out of the heart into arteries

Q

atrioventricular sulcus vs. interventricular sulci

A

Atrioventricular sulcus:
-deepest of the groove
-encircles the heart between the atria and ventricles

Q

papillary muscles

A
  • cardiac muscle tissue
  • project inward from the walls of the ventricle
  • contract when the right ventricle contracts, and as the tricuspid valve closes, these muscles pull on the chord tendineae and prevent the cusps from swinging back into the right atrium

Q

AV valves vs. semilunar valves

A

Atrioventricular valves:
-a valve in the heart through which blood flows from the atria to the ventricles.
-The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is the mitral (bicuspid) valve;
- the right AV valve is the tricuspid valve.
Semilunar valves:
- pocketlike structures attached at the point at which the pulmonary artery and the aorta leave the ventricles
-The pulmonary valve guards the orifice between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
-The aortic valve protects the orifice between the left ventricle and the aorta

Q

laryngopharyx

A
  • inferior to the oropharynx

- passageway to the esophagus

89
Q

amylase

A

-an enzyme, found chiefly in saliva and pancreatic fluid, that converts starch and glycogen into simple sugars.

90
Q

pepsinogen

A
  • An in-active form of pepsin that is produced by chief cells of gastric glands
  • hydrochloric acid causes it to become pepsin
91
Q

trypsinogen

A
  • released by pancreatic cells(proteases) then dumped in the small intestine(duodenum)
  • activated to trypsin when it contacts the enzyme enterokinase, which the mucosa of the small intestine secretes
92
Q

emulsification

A

-The break down of lipids from the bile salts emulsifying the lipids and the lipase breaking them apart.

93
Q

duodenum vs. jejunum vs. ileum

A
  • duodenum: 25cm long and 5cm in diameter; it is the shortest and most fixed portion of the small intestine; most important site for absorption
  • jejunum: 2/5 of the small intestine; has a greater diameter and a thicker wall
  • ileum: lymph nodes(Peyer’s Patches)
94
Q

cecum

A

-beginning of the large intestine, dilated puttylike structure that hangs slightly inferior to the ileocecal opening

95
Q

vermiform appendix

A

-is a blind-ended tube connected to the cecum, from which it develops in the embryo.

96
Q

colon(ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid)

A

ascending:
-begins at the cecum and extends upward against the posterior abdominal wall to a point just inferior to the liver.
transverse:
-the longest and most movable part of the large intestine
-suspended by a folded peritoneum and sags in the middle below the stomach
descending:
-the transverse colon approaches the spleen, it turns abruptly downward and becomes the descending.
sigmoid:
-the colon makes an S shape, then becomes the rectum

97
Q

regions of the stomach (cardiac, fundic, body, and pyloric)

A
  • cardiac: esophagus connects

- pyloric: hard “lots of muscles”

98
Q

persitalsis

A

-contraction of the stomach, that moves food through the intestines

99
Q

tongue papillae

A
  • rough projections on the tongue

- some of these provide friction, which helps move food

100
Q

tonsils (palatine, lingual, and adenoids)

A
  • palatine tonsils: help protect the body against infections made of lymphatic tissues
  • adenoids: enrage and bloc the passage between the nasal cavity and pharynx, surgical removal may be necessary(tonsillitis)
  • lingual: anchored to the hyoid bone; covered with rounded masses of lymphatic tissues
101
Q

uvula

A
  • The soft palate forms a muscular arch, which extends posteriorly and downward as a cone-shaped projection called uvula.
  • prevents food from entering the nasal cavity
102
Q

deciduous teeth vs. permanent teeth

A

-deciduous teeth are the teeth that fall out and then the permanent teeth come in after them.

103
Q

incisors vs. cuspids vs. bicuspids (premolars) vs. molars

A
  • (incisors): sharp edges bite off large pieces of food
  • cuspid(canine): grasp and tear food
  • bicuspids(premolars)&molars: grind food particles
104
Q

enamel

A
  • covers the crown

- mainly consists o calcium salts and is the hardest substance in the body.

105
Q

salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual)

A

parotid:
-largest of the major salivary glands.
-secrete a clear, watery fluid rich in salivary amylase because their secretory cells are primarily serous cells.
submandibular:
-floor of the mouth on the inside surface of the mandible
-secrete a more viscous fluid than the parotid glands.
sublingual:
-smallest of the major salivary glands

106
Q

lower esophageal sphincter

A

-just superior to the point where the esophagus joins the stomach, some of the cells of the circular smooth muscle layer have increased sympathetic muscle tone and form it.

107
Q

pyloric sphincter

A
  • located at the end of the pyloric canal, a thickening of the circular layer of smooth muscle
  • acts as a valve that controls gastric emptying into the small intestine
108
Q

gastric glands

A
  • contain three types of secretory cells: mucous cells, chief cells, and parietal cells
  • found in the mucosa
109
Q

enterogastric reflex

A

-the vagus nerve receives input from the duodenum that it is full and it then shuts off parasympathetic nerves so peristalsis is slowed down while the pyloric sphincter shuts so that no more chyme enters the duodenum.

110
Q

chymotrypsin

A
  • the active version of Chymotrypsinogen
  • acinar cells: proteases
  • trypsin activates it
