TEST 3 GIT THEORY Flashcards
gastrointestinal tract consists of
muscular tubes and accessory organs
the muscular tubes in the GIT are
oral cavity, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, intestine
the accessory organs in the GIT are
teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver and gallbladder, pancreas
functions of the GI system
ingestion, mastication, digestion, secretion, absorption and excretion
mucosa consists of
epithelium
the two epithelium layers in the mucosa are
simple columnar, stratified squamous
simple columnar
stomach, intestines - for secretion and absorption
stratified squamous
other parts - for protection
muscularis consists of
2 layers - inner circular, outer longitudinal
stomach consists of muscularis:
OCL: innermost oblique, inner circular, outer longitudinal
movements of the GIT
peristalsis: push food bolus front
segmentation: mix food with secretions
blood supply of GIT - arterial supply
- celiac, superior, inferior mesenteric artery
- 1st capillary for nutrient absorption and 2nd at liver for processing
oral cavity consists of
teeth, gingiva, tongue, lingual frenulum, salivary glands, soft palate, uvula, palatine tonsils
oral cavity functions
taste, mechanical breakdown and lubrication of food, digestion of carbohydrates and lipids, breathing and speaking
salivary glands
3 pairs: parotid, submandibular, sublingual
parotid
behind ear, duct opens into vestibule opp. 2nd upper molar tooth
submandibular
below mandible, duct opens at sides of frenulum
sublingual
below tongue, ducts open base of cavity
saliva
1L/day, functions are lubrication, defense and digestion
parts of tooth
crown, neck and root
layers of tooth
enamel, dentin, pulp cavity
types of teeth
incisor, canine, premolar and molar
function of incisor
cut/chip
function of canine
tear
function of premolar, molar
mash/grind
baby teeth
20 teeth - 2 sets: 4 incisors, 2 canines, 4 molars in each jaw
