GI - 12 Flashcards
Alimentary Canal vs Accessory Digestive Organs
alimentary = mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
accessory = teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas (aid in break dow of food)
6 processes of the Disassembly Line
- ingestion
- secretion
- motility (mixing/propulsion of food and secretions)
- digestion
- absorption
- defecation
Teeth
16 + 16 =32
-deciduous = baby teeth and permanent
-incisors = cutting
-canines = tearing
-premolars = crushing
-molars = grinding
LABEL - slide 10
Components of the Tooth
enamel: made of calcium salts, protects tooth from wear and tear
dentin: (calcified connective tissue) makes up majority of tooth
pulp cavity: contains pulp (connective tissue containing nerves and blood vessels)
periodontal ligament: helps anchor tooth to jaw bone
-teeth nerves = cn 5 –> maxillary and mandibular branches
Mechanical Digestion
completed by teeth, cheeks, tongue, muscles, saliva
Chemical Digestion Glands
saliva - from bilateral ducts =
1. parotid gland (serous with amylase)
2. submandibullar gland (serous with amylase)
3. sublingual gland (mucous with lipase)
-salivary amylase = polysaccharids to disaccharides -deactivated in stomach
-lingual lipase = triglycerides to fatty acids and glycerol (activated in stomach)
Chemical Digestion Chemicals
-1.5L saliva/day
99.5% = water
0.5% =
amylase (starch)
lipase (fat)
mucin (protect and lubricate)
lysozome (antimicrobial)
IgA (antibody)
electrolytes (buffer)
Taste (gustation)
10,000 taste buds form papillare (raised projections on tongue)
- foliate = lateral margins of tongue, degenerate in childhood
- filiform = whole surface of tongue
FINISH
Where do Taste Messages go
CN 7 = ant 2/3
CN 11 = posterior 1/3
CN 10 = throat and epiglottis
CN 5 = tactile sensation
Olfaction (smell)
-special receptor cells for odorants
-olfactory glands produce mucus
-perception of smell in temporal cortex but does nto synapse in thalamus
3 Phases of Deglutition (swallowing)
oral phase: oral cavity and tongue, bolus moves to posterior, voluntary, deglutition is dominant to respiration (cant breath and swallow)
pharyngeal phase: soft palate (nasal cavity protect) and epiglottis (trachea protect), UES relaxes, irreversable step; all or none, deglutition reflex initiated by oropharynx stretch
esophageal phase: UES contracts again, perstalsis to stomach, LES relaxes, ends when LES allows bolus into stomach
GERD is last
Esophagus layers
- mucosa at lumen
- submucosa (nerves, vessels, lymph)
- muscularis (circular and longitudinal)
-peristalsis - adventitia (connective tissue)
Mucosa
- Epithelium – protection or secretion
- Lamina Propria – connective tissue
- Muscularis mucosa – ↑ surface area
Submucosa
- Connective tissue layer
- Nerves, vessels, lymphatics
Muscularis
- Inner circular – pinch
- Outer longitudinal – shrink
- Mouth to middle esophagus
and external anal sphincter =
skeletal = voluntary - The rest = smooth =
involuntary
