lab 4 digestive Flashcards
what is ingestion?
taking food into the mouth
what is propulsion?
moving food through the GI tract
what is mechanical digestion?
physical breakdown of food into smaller pieces
what is chemical digestion?
breakdown of bonds in food molecule
what is secretion?
release of chemicals, enzymes into lumen of GI tract
what is absorption?
movement of nutrients across mucose into blood or lymph
what is defacation?
elemination of digestive waste through rectum/anus
what are three layers in mucosa?
mucosal epithelium
lamina propria
muscularis mucosae
what tissue is mucosal epithelium composed of?
stratified squamous or simple columnar
what tissue is lamina propria composed of?
areolar ct
what tissue is muscularis mucosae composed of?
thin layer of smooth muscle
what type of tissue is submucosa?
dense irregular tissue that houses vasculature and nerves
two layers of muscularis externa?
thick layers of smooth muscle
inner layer- circular
outer layer- longitudinal

segmental contraction or peristaltic movement
what is the serosa or visceral peritoneum composed of?
areolar ct and simple squamous
what is greater omentum?
drapes over coils of small intestine
what is lesser omentum?
stabilizes postion of stomach
what is mesentery proper
binds small intestine to post abdominal wall
what is mesocolon?
binds large intestine to post abdominal wall
what is falciform ligament?
stablizes position of liver
what type of epithelical cells lines mouth and pharynx?
psudeostratified ciliated columnar
general function of oral cavity?
food is analyzed and lubricated, process of mechanical and chemical digestion
function of tongue?
create food bolus and push to pharynx, cultavating movement of food during mastication and assisting in swallowing
what are papillae?
small bumps on the tongue that house the taste buds
function of central and lateral incisors?
to cut food
function of cupsides (canine)
tearing food and guiding jaw in grinding motion

esophageal hiatus
what type of epithelial tissues line esiphagus?
stratified squamous non-keritinzed
what digestive process occur in the stomach?
chemical digestion churning of the food
what type of tissue lines the stomach?
simple columnar
what are the three cells located in the gastric glands?
mucus neck cell- secrete mucus
parietal cells- secrete hcl/intrinsic factor
chief cells- secrete pepsinogen activated by pepsin
what are three structural adaptions of the small intestine to increase surface area?
plicae circulars
villi
microvilli
function of lacteal?
main route for drainage of dietary lipids and lipid soluable nutrients in form of lymph
function of crypts or intestinal glands?
secrete digestive enzymes
what is dueodenum?
10 inches in length
hepatopancreatic ampulla delievrs bile and pancreatic juice
functions is main site of chemical digestion
what is jejunum?
8 feet in length
functions has a large surface area specialized for absoprtion of water and nutrients
what is ileum?
12 feet in length
function to secrete digestive enzymes
functions of large intestine?
water reabsoprtion
composition/storage of feces
absorption of some vitamins
what is movement of fecal matter through large intestine called?
peristalsis
intestinal glands with goblet cells produce?
mucus

internal- smooth muscle
external- skeletal muscle
what is function of levator ani muscle?
supporting/raising pelvic visceral structures
exocrine function of pancreas?
secrrete pancreatic juice cells
endocrine function of pancreas?
sends out hormones that control the amount of sugar in the bloodstream
function of the liver?
metabolic factory- recieves nutrients from digestive system and metabolizes and stores them
function of the gallbladder?
stores and concentrates bile
