Q

Parotid Duct

A

Saliva drains from Parotid Salivary Glands to mouth cavity

19
Q

Esophagus (Location?)

A

Posterior to Trachea

20
Q

Esophagus (Innervated by?)

A

Vagus Nerve

21
Q

Esophagus (Mucosa)

A

Nonkeratinized Stratified Squamous Epithelium

22
Q

Esophagus (Submucosa)

A

Contains large folds for significant expansion
Contains esophageal glands
–> Produces mucus

23
Q

Esophagus (Muscularis Mucosae)

A

Only one layer in Esophagus, different than rest of GI
Gets thicker the closer you get to the stomach

24
Q

Relaxed Stomach (Gastric Folds)

A

When relaxed: Mucosa forms lots of muscular ridges
–> Allows for expansion of stomach

When stretched: Stomach has less muscular ridges

25
Q

Vagus Nerve

A

Paarasympathetic

26
Q

Celiac Plexus

A

Sympathetic

27
Q

Greater Omentum

A

Forms a pouch that hangs like an apron off the stomach

28
Q

Lesser Omentum

A

Extends from liver to stomach on top of the stomach

29
Q

Gastric Glands

A

Gastric Juice
- Digestion

30
Q

Mucous Surface Cells

A

Faces the Lumen

Produces Mucus
- Protects stomach from digesting iteself

31
Q

Mucous Neck Cells

A

Located in gastric pit

Produces Mucus
- Lubricate food

32
Q

Parietal Cells

A

Intrinsic Factor
- Absorption of Vit B12
Hydrochloric Acid
- Kills microorganisms

33
Q

Chief Cells

A

Pepsinogen
- Converted into pepsin
- Pepsin digests proteins

34
Q

Enteroendocrine Cells

A

Gastrin
- Stimulates parietal and chief cells to release their products

35
Q

Duodenum

A

Receives digestive enzymes from pancreas

36
Q

Jejunum

A

Where most of digestion and absorption occurs

37
Q

Ileum

A

Last region of the small intestine

38
Q

Vilus (Absorption of digested nutrients)

A

Villus contain capillaries that can absorb nutrients

39
Q

Vilus (Contains?)

A

Arteriole
Venule
Lymphatic Vessel

40
Q

Plicae Circulare (Stomach vs Small Intestine)

A

Stomach: Folds stretch

Small Intestine: Folds do not disapper or stretch when material passes through

41
Q

Lacteal

A

Found in vilus, absorbs whatever material that can not be absorbed by capillaries

42
Q

Duodenal Submucosal Gland

A

Produces large amounts of mucus
Neutralizes acids

43
Q

Duodenal Papilla

A

Contains duodenal ampulla, where bile duct and pancreatic duct connect with the duodenum
