lab quiz 10 Flashcards
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
scent player of smooth muscle fiber
muscularis mucosae
major function of mucosa
secretion
absorption
protection
submucosa is connective tissue containing
blood and lymphatic vessels, scattered lymph nodes and nerve fibers
intrinsic nerve supply of submucosa
major function?
submucosal plexus
protection
smooth muscle of the muscularis is controlled by
myenteric plexus
define myenteric plexus
an intrinsic nerve plexus
myenteric plexus is the major regulator of
GI motility
outermost serosa is the
visceral peritoneum
part of small intestine
duodenum
connective tissue layer deep to the mucosa
submucosa
composed of circular and longitudinal smooth muscle layers
muscularis externa
vilia increases the
surface area for absorption
protects the anterior opening of mouth
lips or labia
forms the lateral walls of the mouth
cheeks
forms the roof of the mouth
palate
anterior part of the palate is called?
why?
hard plate
because the bone underlies it
soft palate is unsupported by
bone and uvula
define uvula
fingerlike projection of the soft palate
soft palate rises to close off the
oral cavity from the nasal and pharyngeal passages during swallowing
occupies the floor of the oral cavity
muscular tongue
secures the tongue to the floor of the mouth
lingual frenulum
space between the lips and cheeks and teeth is
vestibule
area that lies within the teeth and gum is the
oral cavity proper
on each side of the mouth at its posterior end are masses of lymphoid tissue
palatine tonsils
covers the base of the tongue
lingual tonsil
part of the body’s def system
tonsils, along with other lymphoid tissues
begins the digestion of starchy food in the mouth
salivary amylase
common passageway for food, fluid and air
pharynx
behind the nasal cavity
nasalpharynx
extends from the soft palate to the epiglottis
oropharynx
extends from the epiglottis to the base of the larynx
laryngopharynx
food passageway that conducts food to the stomach by
peristalsis
superior end of esophagus’s walls contains
skeletal muscle
thickening of the smooth muscle layer at the esophagus stomach junction
cardioesophageal sphincter
cardioesophageal sphincter controls
food passage into the stomach
stomach is hidden by
liver and diaphragm
area surrounding the opening through which food enters the stomach
cardiac region
the expanded portion of the stomach, lateral to the cardiac region
fundus
terminal part of the stomach;
which is continuous with the small intestine through the;
pylorus
pyloric sphincter
concave medial surface of the stomach is the
its convex lateral surface is the
lesser curvature
greater curvature
extend from the lesser and greater curvatures
omenta
gastric glands of the mucosa secrete
hydrocloric acid and hydrolytic enzymes
convoluted tube about 2 meters long in a living person
small intestine
small intestine extends from
pyloric sphincter to the ileocecal valve
small intestine is suspended by the
fall shaped mesentery
small intestine has 3 regions
duodenum
jejunum
ileum
extends from the pyloric spincter for about 10 inches and curves around the head of the pancreas
duodenum
continuous with the duodenum, extends for about 8 feet
jejunum
terminal portion of the small intestine, about 12 feet long
ileum
ileum joins the large intestine at the
ileocecal valve
enzymes bound to the microvilli of the columnar epithelial cells
brush border enzymes
brush border enzymes produced by the pancreas and ducted into the duodenum via the
pancreatic duct
formed in the liver
Bile
at the duodenum, the ducts join to form the bulblike
and empty their products into the duodenal lumen through an opening called the
hepatopancreatic ampulla
duodenal papilla
3 structural modifications that increase the absorptive area
microvili
billi
plicae circulares
Define microvilli
minute projections of the surface plasma membrane of the columnar epithelial cells of the mucosa
