Internal organs (Splanchnology)- Digestive system Flashcards
Definition of splanchnology
Studying the viscera
Definition of viscera
The organs which facilitate metabolism and maintain the life of species
Branches of anatomy
-Osteology; Study of bones
-Arthrology; Study of bone connections
-Myology; Study of muscles
-Splanchnology; Study of viscera
-Angiology; Study of blood vessels
-Neurology; Study of the nervous system
What are the 5 systems that the viscera of the human body form
-Respiratory
-Urinary
-Genital systems
-Alimentary system
-Endocrine glands
Peculiarities of the viscera
1) Viscera have openings for communication to the outside
2) Viscera are directly involved in the metabolism
3) Most viscera are located in the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities
2 types of viscera depending on their structure
-Hollow (tubular) organs
-Parenchymal (solid) organs
What are hollow organs
-Tube-like entities and contain cavities (lumen) within the stomach, intestines
-Their wall is made up of 3/4 layers of tissue
The 4 layers of the wall of the digestive tract
-Tunica mucosa
-Tela submucosa
-Tunica muscularis
-Tunica adventitia or Tunica serosa
-Mucous membrane
-Lamina epithelialis
-Lamina propria
-Lamina muscularis
-Tela submucosa
-Mucous membrane; tunica mucosa
-Lamina epithelialis; lining epithelium
-Lamina propria; loose connective tissue, blood and lymphatic vessels, nerve elements, glands, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (folliculi lymphatici solitarii and aggregati
-Lamina muscularis; mucosae or membrane elastica
-Tela submucosa; loose connective tissue, blood lymphatic vessels, nerve plexus, glands
Muscular sheath; tunica muscilaris
-Stratum circulare; stratum longitudinale- for digestive system
-Stratum longitudinale, stratum circulare; in the urethra
-Stratum londitudinale, stratum circulare, stratum longitudinale; in the vas deferens
-In the sac-like organs, the regular arrangement of the musculature is disturbed
-Formation of sphincters
Outer sheath; tunica serosa or tunica adventitia
-Tunica serosa (serous membranes); mesothelium, fibrous connective tissue, tela subserosa. Thin slippery membrane lines body cavities, parietal layer lines walls of cavities- visceral layer covers viscera within the cavities. Serous fluid reduces friction.
-Tunica adventitia; fibrous connective tissue
Parenchymal organs
-Solid organs (liver, kidney, lungs), which are coated with a thin fibrous capsule.
-The main structural units are formed by epithelial tissue (parenchyma), connective tissue (stroma), specific vascular formations, nerve elements
Functions, structural parts and outer sheath of parenchyma organs
-Functions; production of secretions, release of waste matter from blood, gas exchange, formation of germ cells
-Structural parts; lobules, segments, lobes
-Outer sheath; tunica serosa, tunica adventitia
Digestive system
-Digestive tract; oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
-Accessory glands; salivary glands, liver, pancreas
Functions of digestive system
-Digestion;
Mechanical processing of food, chemical degradation with the participation of enzymes
-Moving a food morsel
-Resorption of chemical substances
-Evacuation of unabsorbed waste mass
