What is vestibule?
the space between the cheeks and the teeth
What is oral cavity?
space bounded by teeth
What is hard palate?
anterior roof of the mouth
What is soft palate?
posterior roof of the mouth with the uvula, a posterior projectile
What is tongue?
the lingual frenulum attaches it, papillae house taste buds
What is salivary glands?
3 pairs, all secrete amylase which digest starch parotid, submandibular, sublingual
What is in the Pharynx?
Nasopharynx, oropharynx, and Laryngopharynx
What is Nasopharynx?
with the pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids)
What is Oropharynx?
palatine tonsils and lingual tonsils
Where is the esophagus?
ends at the cardiac sphincter (gastroesophageal junction)
What is the cardiac sphincter?
It acts like a valve that ensures unidirectional flow of ingested food
Where is the cardiac sphincter located?
it is located at the end of the esophagus and the beginning of the stomach (where the esophagus meets the stomach)
What is the gastroesophageal junction?
where your food pipe meets your stomach
What is located in the stomach?
cardiac sphincter, pyloric sphincter, lesser curvature, greater curvature, rugae
What are the regions of the stomach?
Fundus and body
What is pyloric sphincter?
valve between stomach and duodenum
What is duodenum?
It is the first part of your small intestines
Where is the duodenum located?
between stomach and the middle part of the small intestine (jejunum)
What is jejunum?
It helps to further digest food coming from the stomach, absorbs nutrients and water from food so they can be used by the body
What is the lesser curvature?
attachment of the lesser omentum
What is the greater curvature?
attachment of the greater omentum
What is rugae?
folds on the inside surface of the stomach (rolls but on the inside)
What are the three cell types of the stomach?
Chief cells, parietal cells, mucous cells
What does chief cells secrete?
pepsinogen
What does parietal cells secrete?
HCl
What does mucous cells secrete?
mucous for protection
What is apart of the small intestine?
duodenum, jejunum, and ileum
What is ileum?
terminal region, the ileocecal sphincter is a valve between ileum and cecum
What is the ileocecal sphincter?
to allow digested food materials to pass from the small intestine into your large intestine
