Unit 12- Lymphatic & Digestive system Flashcards
Lymph System consists of?
Thymus, tonsils, spleen, lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels
Thoracic duct
larger and longest of lymphatic vessel. superiorly along the left side
cisterna chyli
dilated sac of the thoracic duct
right lymphatic duct
receives lymph from the right jugular. Smaller and shorter than the thoracic duct
lymph nodes
encapsulated collections of lymphatic tissue.
indicators of infection
Tonsils
group of developing lymphocytes
palatine tonsils
tonsils that can be easily observed with a mirror at the back of thermal cavity
pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids)
embedded in the mucosa of the superoposteriar part of the nasal part of the pharynx (throat)
lingual tonsils
tonsils are embedded in the root of the tongue
Spleen
large lymphatic organ
-positioned left superior quadrant of the abdomen between the stomach and diaphragm.
splenic hilum
where vessels, nerves, etc. enter and leave the spleen.
Thymus
lymphoid organ- located near the base of the heart. subdivided into left and right lobes.
Digestive system and functions
digestive system: oral cavity, gullet, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine.
functions: nutrient intake, solid waste elimination
mucous membrane
deepest portion of the gut wall. composed of 3 layers
epithelial layer
deepest layer of the mucous membrane
lamina propia of the mocosa
composed of connective tissue, support layer between the epithelium and smooth muscle layer
muscular layer of the mucosa
layer of smooth muscle tissue superficial to the lamina propria
submucosa
layer of areolar tissue
muscular coat
layer of smooth muscle tissue
- circular layer: inner
- longitudinal layer: outer
- oblique fibers:present deep to the circular layer
serous membrane/ coat
surrounds digestive organs and the parietal peritoneum
tunica adventitia
layer of connective tissue associated with the surface of the digestive canal
oral cavity
initial part of the alimentary canal
oral vestibule
portion of the oral cavity located outside the teeth and gums.
upper lip
the lip above the opening of the mouth
superior labial frenulum
medial fold of mucosa on the posterior aspect of the upper lip.
lower lip
lip below the rima oris
inferior labial frenulum
media fold of the mucosa on the posterior aspect of the inferior lip
oral cavity proper
oral cavity inside the teeth
hard palate
anterosuperior part of the cavity, composed of bone and harden octopus membrane
transverse palatine folds
the mucosa lining the anterior portion of the hard palate
soft palate
-closing off the nasal part of the pharynx during the act of swallowing.
moveable and composed of 5 skeletal muscles, glandular epithelium, connective tissue and mucous membrane.
palatine uvula
median, conical projection from the posterior border of the soft palate
palatopharyngeal arch
left and right posteriorly oriented mucosal fold
palatoglossal arch
left & right anteriorly oriented mucosal fold from the palatine uvula to the tongue
sublingual folds
left & right linear elevations of mucosa under the tongue
sublingual caruncle
opening of the submandibular ducts- allows saliva and mucous to enter the oral cavity proper
incisive papilla
short median ridge
-gets roasted by the pizza cheese
gums
portions of the oral mucosa surrounding the teeth
tongue
muscular organ
Tip (apex) of the tongue
anterior portion of the tongue
body of the tongue
the main horizontal portion of the tongue between apex and root of the tongue
root of the tongue
posterior part of the tongue
lingal frenulum
the median fold of mucosa that attaches the tongue to the floor of the oral cavity
parotid gland
salivary gland located anterior to the ace of each ear
sublingual gland
located in the floor of the oral cavity on each side of the median plane
submandibular gland
salivary gland located in the area adjacent to the angle of the mandible
teeth
a tooth has 3 major external parts
crown of a toot
visible portion that projects from the gums
root of a tooth
embedded portion which occupies a dental alveolus in a maxilla
periodontium
connective tissue, anchors each tooth in its socket
neck of tooth
portion of a tooth at the junction of the crown and root
enamel
covers the crown of a tooth, hardest substance in the body
cementum
envelops the root of a tooth, bone like connective tissue
pulp cavity of a tooth
hollow space surrounded by dentin and filled with dental pulp
canal of the root of a tooth
channel by which vessels and nerves enter ad leave the pulp cavity
dental pulp
soft tissue
superior dental arch
the eight upper right and eight upper left teeth
inferior dental arch
the eight lower and the eight lower left teeth
incisor teeth
for teeth adjacent to the median plane
canine teeth
teeth posterior tot he incisor teeth (4 total)
premolar teeth
teeth posterolateral to each canine tooth (8 total)
