lab 7 Flashcards
2 groups of structures that compromise the digestive system
- gastrointestinial tract
2. accessory organs
digestive tract
-contains what organs
- mouth
- pharynx
- esophagus
- stomach
- small intestine
- large intestine
small intestine divisions
- duodenum
- jejunem
- iliem
large intestine divisions
- cecum
- colon
- rectum
accessory organs include
- teeth
- tongue
- gallbladder
- salivary glands
- liver
- pancreas
mouth
- aka
- composed of
- formed by
- oral cavity or buccal cavity
- oral mucosa
- cheeks, hard and soft palate and tongue
oral mucosa composed of
stratified squamous epithelium
tongue
a movable muscular structure that helps to maneuver foods and assists in swallowing and speech
additional features of the mouth
- labial frenulum
- vestible
- uvula
- lingual frenulum
- arches
- lingual tonsil
- lingual papillae
labial frenulum
fold of mucous membrane that anchors the lips to the gums
vestibule
space between cheeks (or lips) and gums (or teeth)
uvula
- definition
- function
- conical muscular process that hangs down from the soft palate
- helps to prevent food from entering the nasopharynx during swallowing
lingual frenulum
-definition
function
- fold of mucus membrane on the bottom of the tongue that anchors it to the floor of the oral cavity
- prevents extreme movements of the tongue
arches of the tongue
- definition
- what lies between each arch
- 2 types
- 2 pairs of muscular folds or arches are present on either side of the uvula
- palatine tonsil
- palatoglossal arch
- palatopharyngeal arch
- palatoglossal arch
palatoglossal arch
anterior arch running from soft palate to base of tongue
palatopharyngeal arch
posterior arch running from soft palate to the wall of the phayrnx
lingual tonsil
tonsil at base of tongue
lingual papillae
- definition
- 4 types
- projections on the superior surface of the tongue that give it a velvety texture
- filiform papillae
- fungiform papillae
- folate papillae
- circumvallate papillae
- filiform papillae
filiform papillae
- threadlike projections on anterior 2/3 of tongue that provide friction
- well developed in animals
fungiform papillae
mushroom-like projections scattered on the tongue surface and more abundant near the tip
folate papillae
leaf-like projections that form lateral rows at the rear of the tongue
circumvallate papillae
projections arranged in a V on the back part of the tongue
gustation
- known as
- results when
- taste
- chemicals in food are detected by sensory structures called taste buds. For a chemical to be tasted it must be dissolved in saliva
taste pore
where chemical from food enters the taste bud through an opening
gustatory cells
- function
- what does binding do
- binds chemical
- initiates actions potentials in the cells that eventually lead to the conduction of signals along the gustatory pathway
which papillae lack taste buds
filiform papillae
4 primary taste sensations
sour, salt bitter and sweet
where is sour located on the tongue
- salt
- bitter
- sweet
sides
- front
- back
- middle
how can we enjoy the taste of caramel and chocolate
there are different combos of taste
salivary glands
-function
secrete saliva into ducts that empty into the oral cavity
saliva
- consists of
- contains
- function
- water
- a variety of salts, buffers, enzymes, mucus and antibodies
- cleanses the mouth
- lubricates and moistens food
- dissolves chemicals
- helps prevent tooth decay by inhibiting bacterial growth
- initiates carb digestion through the action of salivary amylase
- cleanses the mouth
3 salivary glands
- parotid glands
- submandibular glands
- sublingual glands
parotid glands
anterior to ear lobes
submandibular glands
along inner surfaces of mandible in floor of the mouth
sublingual glands
anterior and superior to the submandibular glands
