32 teeth - 2 sets: 4 incisors, 2 canines, 4 premolars, 6 molars in each jaw

28
Q

pharynx consists of

A

nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx

29
Q

swallowing phases

A

oral, pharyngeal, oesophageal

30
Q

oral phase

A

tongue compress and retracts, soft palate closes nasopharynx, food bolus enters oropharynx

31
Q

pharyngeal phase

A

larynx elevates, epiglottis folds close larynx, food enters oesophagus

32
Q

oesophageal phase

A

lower oesophageal sphincter opens and food bolus enters stomach

33
Q

chyme

A

food mixes and gets partially digested by chyme

34
Q

rugae

A

folds of mucosa on inner surface - expansion

35
Q

2 sphincters

A

cardiac, pyloric

36
Q

cardiac sphincter

A

prevents reflux into oesophagus

37
Q

pyloric sphincter

A

regulates gastric emptying

38
Q

functions of the stomach

A

storage, mechanical and chemical breakdown of food, production of intrinsic factor

39
Q

stomach lined by

A

simple columnar epithelium with mucous cells

40
Q

gastric pits contain

A

gastric glands

41
Q

gastric glands

A

parietal cells secreting HCL and intrinsic factor for Vit B12 absorption; chief cells secreting pepsinogen

42
Q

small intestine

A

duodenum, plica

43
Q

duodenum

A

25cm long, C-shaped and receives chyme from stomach, bile and pancreatic juice

44
Q

plica (circular folds)

A

lined by villus, lined by simple columnar epithelium. villus has lacteal (fat absorption).

45
Q

functions of the small intestine

A

90% of digestion and 90% of absorption of nutrients

46
Q

large intestine

A

caecum, colon (ascending, transverse, descending and sigmoid), rectum and anal canal

47
Q

caecum

A

expanded pouch in right iliac fossa; appendix from posteromedial side

48
Q

rectum

A

temporary storage of faeces

49
Q

defaecation reflex

A

peristalsis: relaxation of internal sphincter (involuntary) and external sphincter (voluntary)

50
Q

large intestine functions

A

absorption of water, vitamin production and bile recycling

51
Q

liver lobes

A

4: right, left, caudate, quadrate

52
Q

porta hepatis

A

hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery, common hepatic duct

53
Q

liver lobule

54
Q

corners (portal area)

A

branch of hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery and hepatic duct (V-A-D)

55
Q

liver functions

A

synthesis bile, plasma proteins, clotting factors

storage of vitamins, iron, blood

removal of waste products, drugs, toxins

defense - kupffer cells

56
Q

gallbladder

A

fundus, body, neck, cystic duct

57
Q

gallbladder functions

A

stores, concentrates bile

58
Q

biliary tree

A

r&l hepatic duct –> common hepatic duct + cystic duct –> common bile duct + pancreatic duct –> duodenum

59
Q

pancreas

A

head, body, tail; retroperitoneal organ

60
Q

endocrine cells

A

1% of pancreatic cells, exists as clusters (Islets of Langerhans), secretes insulin

61
Q

exocrine cells

A

99% of pancreatic cells, exists as acini, secretes pancreatic juice which drains via pancreatic duct which empties into duodenum with CBD

62
Q

pancreatic juice made of enzymes (secreted as proactive form)

A

trypsin, chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase, pancreatic lipase, nucleases

63
Q

trypsin and chymotrypsin

A

acts on proteins

64
Q

A

acts on carbohydrates

65
Q

pancreatic lipase

A

acts on lipids
