Question
Answer
Describe the structure of the wall of the alimentary canal (4 layers). (1&2)   1.)mucosa(mucous membrane)- innermost layer that contains cells that produce digestive enzymes and mucous to protect the tissues beneath it. 2.)submucosa-contains blood vessels that nourish surrounding tissue and carry away absorbed materials.  
🗑
Describe the structure of the wall of the alimentary canal (4 layers). (3&4)   3.)muscular layer-smooth muscle containing circular and longitudinal fibers that produce movements of the tube. 4.)serosa(serous)- outermost layer that produces serous fluid to moisten and lubricate the tubes outer surface to reduce friction.  
🗑
Explain the two types of movements of the tube. 1   1.) Mixing- occurs when smooth muscles in small segments of the tube contract rhythmically to mix food with digestive juices  
🗑
Explain the two types of movements of the tube. 2   2.)Propelling(peristalsis)- when a ring of contraction appears in the wall of the tube and at the same time the muscular wall just ahead of the ring relaxes. as this peristaltic wave moves along it pushes the tubular contents ahead of it.  
🗑
Be able to describe the structures of the mouth and the functions of each part. (1&2)   1.)lips-highly mobile structures that surround the mouth opening and function in judging the temperature and texture of food 2.)cheeks- consist of skin,subcutaneous fat,and muscles associated with expression and chewing, inside are layers of epithelium.  
🗑
Be able to describe the structures of the mouth and the functions of each part. 3   3.)tongue- skeletal muscle covered in mucous membranes & attached to the mouth with the frenulum an anchored @ the hyoid bone, function is to mix food particles w/saliva and move food toward the pharynx during swallowing & moves food under teeth 4 chewing  
🗑
Be able to describe the structures of the mouth and the functions of each part. 4   4.)palate- the roof of the oral cavity consisting of a hard anterior and soft posterior part. during swallowing muscles drawn the soft palate & uvula up to close the opening between the nasal cavity & pharynx.  
🗑
Be able to describe the structures of the mouth and the functions of each part. 5   5.) teeth-consist of 20 primary & 32 secondary, begin mechanical digestion by breaking down pieces of food into smaller pieces  
🗑
Describe the 3 types of secretory cells of the gastric glands.   1.)mucous cells-secrete mucous that coats the inside of the stomach wall and prevents the stomach from digesting itself. 2.)cheif cells-secrete digestive enzymes. 3.) parietal cells- secrete hydrochloric acid  
🗑
Match the structures of the digestive system with their functions.   Match the structures of the digestive system with their functions.  
🗑
salivary glands   secrete saliva which contains enzymes that initiate breakdown of carbohydrates. 3 glands-parotid,sublingual,submandibular.  
🗑
mouth   mechanical breakdown of food, begins chemical digestion of carbohydrates,  
🗑
cheeks   skin,subcutaneous fat,and muscles associated with expression and chewing, inside are layers of epithelium.  
🗑
lips   highly mobile structures that surround the mouth opening and function in judging the temperature and texture of food  
🗑
tongue   skeletal muscle covered in mucous membranes & attached to the mouth with the frenulum an anchored @ the hyoid bone, function is to mix food particles w/saliva and move food toward the pharynx during swallowing & moves food under teeth 4 chewing  
🗑
hard pallate   front hard part of the palate  
🗑
soft palate   during swallowing muscles drawn the soft palate & uvula up to close the opening between the nasal cavity & pharynx.  
🗑
lingual tonsils   masses of lymphatic tissue located at the posterior of the tongue  
🗑
palatine tonsils   masses of lymphatic tissue found at the back of the mouth on either side of the tongue that help protect against infection  
🗑
pharyngeal tonsils(adenoids)   found on the posterior wall of the pharynx.  
🗑
pharynx   connects mouth with esophagus and functions as a passageway  
🗑
esophagus   thin collapsible tube that secretes mucous to protect the pathway and move food, peristalsis pushes food to the stomach  
🗑
stomach   secrets acid and enzymes. mixes food with secretions to begin enzymatic digestion of proteins.  
🗑
small intestine   mixes food with bile and pancreatic juice. final breakdown of food molecules. main site of nutrient absorption  
🗑
large intestine   absorbs water and electrolytes to form feces  
🗑
rectum   regulate elimination of feces  
🗑
liver   produces bile which emulsifies fat, helps regulate carbs and breakdown harmful substances, sends bile to gallbladder.  
🗑
gallbladder   stores bile and introduces it into the small intestine  
🗑
pancreas   produces and secretes pancreatic juice, containing digestive enzymes and bicarbonate ions, into the small intestine  
🗑
macro and micro nutrients   1. macro- carbs lipids and proteins that are required in large amounts to provide energy. 2.)micro- vitamins and minerals that are required in smaller amounts and do not directly supply energy but cause biochemical reactions to get energy from macro.  
🗑
nutrition   the study of nutrients and how the body utilizes them  
🗑
nutrients   carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water.  
🗑
Carbohydrates   used to supply energy for cellular processes  
🗑
Lipids   include fats, oils, & fatlike substances.supply energy for cellular processes & building structures, cell membranes.saturated-found in animal based products(meats, eggs, milk, and lard) unsaturated-found in plant based products(seeds, nuts, plant oils.  
🗑
Protein   polymers of amino acids with a wide variety of functions (metabolic rates, clotting, regulate water balance, antibodies that protect against infection) found in meat, nuts, eggs, beans, and dairy  
🗑
Vitamins   organic compounds that are required in small amounts for normal metabolism. Fat-soluble: A,D,E,K; Water-soluble: B & C  
🗑
Minerals   elements other than carbon that are essential in human metabolism. found in plants  
🗑
Malnutrition   A diet lacking essential nutrients or if a person fails to use available foods to the best advantage. 1.) Undernutrition-lack of food or poor quality of food 2.)Overnutrition- results from overeating or from taking too many vitamin supplements.  
🗑
