General Layers Of Gi Tract Flashcards

Name the parts of the digestive system. Know the structure of the tongue, teeth, hard palate, soft palate and lips. Know the location and structural differences of the major salivary glands. Know the overall development of the teeth. Know the structure and innervations of the taste buds. Compare the digestive tract organs in terms of the four layers comprising their walls and relate any structural variations to differences in organ function. Know the characteristic structures i

A

Muscularis externa

42
Q

Where is the myenteric plexus (a.k.a. Auerbach’s plexus) located?

What is produced by D cells?

A

D cells produce somatostatin which inhibits gastrin secretion.

57
Q

True or False: Somatostatin stimulates gastrin secretion which in turn inhibits HCl secretion.
