provides the body with the nutrients essential for health
digestive system
digested end products can pass through the epithelial cells lining the tract into the blood to be distributed to the body cells, a process known as
absorption

local collections of lymphoid nodules found in the submucosa called
Peyer’s patches
Peyer’s patches increase
along the length of the small intestine
large intestine extends from the
ileocecal valve to the anus
large intestine consists of
cecum appendix colon rectum anal canal
travels up the right side of the abdominal cavity;
makes a right angle turn at the
ascending colon
right colic (hepatic) flexture

involuntary sphincter
cause the wall to pucker into small pocketlike sacs called
haustra
longitudinal muscle layer of the muscularis externa
large intestine
major function of the large intestine
is to compact and propel the fecal matter toward the anus and to eliminate it from the body
large intestines provide a site for
intestinal bacteria to manufacture some vitamin B and K, which it then absorbs into the blood stream
by the age 21, 2 sets of teeth have developed
the initial set, deciduous teeth
permanent teeth
another name for deciduous teeth
milk teeth
mixed dentition
some permanent and some deciduous teeth
teeth are classified as
incisors
canines
premolars
molar
another name of canines
eye teeth
another name of premolars

canines
incisors, canines and premolars typically have
single roots
lower molars have how many roots?
upper molar
2
3
premolars and molars have
broad crowns with rounded cusps specialized for the grinding of food
dentition is described by means of a
dental formula
dental formula specifies the
number, types, and position of the teeth in one side of the jaw
a tooth consists of 2 major regions
crown and root
enamel covered crown is the superior portion of the tooth visible above the
gum or gingiva
hardest substance in the body
enamel
enamel is brittle because
it is heavily mineralized with calcium salts
that part of the tooth embedded in the jaw is the
root
root and crown are connected
by a constricted neck
outermost surface of the root is covered by
cement
cementum attaches the tooth to the;
which holds the tooth in the;
periodontal ligament
alveolar socket
comprises the bulk of the tooth
dentin
dentin definition
bonelike material located deep to the enamel and cement
occupies the core of the tooth;
supplied with;
pulp cavity

where the pulp cavity extends into the;
it becomes the
root
root canal
empty their secretion into the oral cavity

sublingual glands
largest gland in the body
liver
liver is located
inferior to the diaphragm. more to the right side of the body
human liver has how many lobes
4
digestive function of liver
to produce bile
bile leave the liver through the;
and enters the duodenum via;
common hepatic duct
bile duct
bile has no
enzymes but it emulsifies fat (breaks it down)
bile creats a
large surface area for lipases
without bile
little fat digestion or absorption occurs
when digestive acitivity isnt occuring, bile backs up in the
cystic duct and enters the gallbladder
define gallbladder
a small green sac on the inferior surface of the liver
liver is important in the initial processing
of the nutrient rich blood draining the digestive organs
remove debris such as bacteria from the blood
kupffer cells
liver parenchyma picks up
oxygen and nutrients
processed blood ultimately drains fro the liver via the
hepatic vein
define pancreas
soft triangular gland that extends across the posterior adbdominal wall from the spleen to the duodenum
pencreas is a
retroperitoneal organs, like duodenum
pancreas has both
endrocine and exocrine
produces the hormones insulin and glucagon
endocrine
produces enzyme
exocrine
pancreas produces
hydrolytic enzymes
hydrolytic enzymes is secreted in an alkaline fluid into the duodenum via
the pancreatic duct
pancreatic juice is very
alkanine
large protein molecules produced by body cells
enzymes
enzymes act as
biological catalysts
digestive enzymes are
hydrolytic enzymes or hydrolases
digestive enzymes and biles function
outside the body cells
hydrolyzes proteins to small fragments
trypsin
define BAPNA
synthetic human made protein substrate consisting of a dye covalently bound to an amino acid
the presense of a yellow color indicates a
positive hydrolysis test
very important in the overall food breakdown process
enzyme
skeletal and smooth muscles are involved in
digestion
movements during digestion
segmentation and peristalsis
segmentation and peristalsis are most important as
mixing an propulsive mechanisms
define segmental movements
local constrictions of the organ wall that occur rhythmically
segmental movements serve mainly
to mix the foodstuff with digestive juices
segmentation is important in
propelling food through the small intestine
define peristaltic movement
major means of propelling food through most of the digestive viscera
