Lecture Exam 3 pt.2 Flashcards
digestive system
Digestive Processed
Ingestion:
-taking food into the mouth
mechanical digestion:
-physically breaking down food
—>chewing, churning in stomach
chemical digestion:
-breaking food down into molecules via enzymes and acids
—> saliva and stomach acid
absorption:
-nutrients from digested food are absorbed into the blood and lymph
metabolism:
-cells use absorbed nutrients to produce energy or build body components
defecation:
-elimination of indegestible substances and waste as feces
oral cavity boundaries
roof
-hard and soft palate
floor
-tongue and muscles
tongue
assists in tasting, swallowing, and speech
-contains papillae and taste buds
GI tract
- oral cavity
- pharynx
- esophagus
- stomach
- small intestine
a. duodenum
b. jejunum
c. ilium - large intestine
a. cecum
b. ascending
c. transvers
d. descending
e. sigmoid - rectum
- anus
Accessory digestive organs
teeth
tongue
liver
salivary glands
gallbladder
pancreas
Deglutition
swallowing
-2 phases
1. buccal (Voluntary)
-tongue pushes food to oropharynx
2. pharyngeal-esophageal (involuntary)
-swallowing reflex
uvula
blocks nasal cavity so food can’t get in when swallowing
upper and lower esophageal sphincters
regulate passage of food into and out of the esophagus
movements
peristalsis
-wave like muscle contractions that push food forwards/down
segmentation
-mixing movements that aid digestion and absorption
esophagus
voluntary
-upper 1/3
^skeletal muscle
involuntary
-lower 2/3
^smooth muscle
layers
1. mucosa
2. submucosa
3. muscularis externa
4. adventitia
Stomach
parts
-cardia
-fundus
-body
-pylorus
wall layers
-mucoas
^epithelium, lamina propria, muscularis mucosa
-submucosa
-muscularis externa
^oblique, circular, longitudinal
-serosa
Peritoneum
layers
-parietal
^lines abdominal wall
-visceral
^ covers organs
mesentery
double layer
-holds organs in place and carries vessels
functions of peritoneum and mesentery
support, protection, blood supply
omen
greater omentum
-hangs from stomach
-has fat
-immune function
-protects
lesser omentum
-connects stomach to liver
gastric secretion phases
cephalic
-thinking/smelling food
gastric
-food in stomach
-stimulated by stretch and pH
intestinal
-controls rate of emptying
^into small intestine
Nerve Plexuses in GI tract
myenteric plexus
-controly motility
submucosal plexus
-controls secretion
small intestine
parts
1. duodenum
2. jejunum
3. ileum
structures
-villi
-microvilli
-circular folds
^for absorption
Large intestine
parts
-cecum
-ascending colon
-transverse colon
-descending colon
-sigmoid colon
-rectum
-anus
features
-haustra
^pouches
-teniae coli
^ bands of muscle
Liver
functions
-detox
-metabolism
-production of bile
-store vitamins
lobes
-left
-right
-caudate
-quadrate
structures
-hepatic lobules
-sinusoids
-central vein
triads
-branches of bile duct
-hepatic artery
-portal vein
porta hépatisations
-the entry/exit for vessels and bile ducts
Bile Pathway
Liver—>right and left hepatic ducts—>common hepatic ducts—>cystic duct—>common bile duct—>duodenum
Pancreas
mixed type gland
-exocrine
^acini cells produce digestive enzymes
-endocrine
^islets produce insulin and glucogen
Hepatopancreatic ampulla
where bile and pancreatic juice mix
-duodenal papilla
^entry point into duodenum
Bile
produced in
-liver
concentrated in
-gallbladder
function
-emulsifies fats for digestion
