Question
Answer
Gastrointestinal Tract (Digestive Organs)   Oral cavity, Pharynx, Esophagus, Stomach, Small intestine, Large intestine, Anus.  
🗑
Accessory Digestive Organs   Parotid salivary gland, Teeth, Tongue, Sublingual salivary gland, Submandibular salivary gland, Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas.  
🗑
Digestive Functions   Ingestion, Mechanical digestion, Chemical digestion, Propulsion, Secretion, Absorption, Elimination of waste.  
🗑
Ingestion   Taking food into mouth.  
🗑
Mechanical digestion   Physical breakdown. Mastication=chewing. Segmentation=mixing & churning in small intestine.  
🗑
Chemical digestion   Molecules broken down by enzymes.  
🗑
Propulsion   Peristalsis: muscular contraction that moves food through GI tract.  
🗑
Secretion   Production & release of bile, enzymes, etc.  
🗑
Absorption   Nutrient transport into blood/lymph vessels  
🗑
Peristalsis   Form of propulsion. Involves the contraction & relaxation of the smooth muscle in the alimentary canal (AKA digestive/GI tract). It does not break up the food.  
🗑
Segmentation   Local contractions of smooth muscle. Involved with mechanical digestion. Mixes food with digestive juices.  
🗑
Histology   Mucosa, Submucosa, Muscularis, Serosa  
🗑
Mucosa   Epithelial lining closest to lumen. Secretion and absorption. Ex. Esophageal mucosa is stratified squamous. Touches food/feces.  
🗑
Submucosa   Vascularized and innervated.  
🗑
Muscularis   Inner circular and outer longitudinal layers of muscle. Segmentation and peristalsis. 2 layers of smooth muscle squishes in all directions.  
🗑
Serosa   Visceral peritoneum.  
🗑
Oral cavity   Structures: cheeks, hard palate, palatal rugae, labia, labial frenulum, vestibule. Lips consist of non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Initial location of mechanical & chemical digestion.  
🗑
Salivary Glands   Parotid gland & duct-25-30% of saliva production. Sublingual-3-5%. Submandibular-60-70%. Autonomic innervation. Produce 1.5L saliva/day.  
🗑
Saliva   Wets and binds food, cleans teeth, kills harmful microorganisms, dissolves food chemicals, enzymes begin digestion of starch.  
🗑
Tooth Structure   Gingiva (travels around root). Alveoli-sockets in the mandible & maxilla. Periodontal ilgaments. Root. Enamel-hardest substance in body, form cusps. Cementum-covers the root. Dentin-bulk. Pulp-contains blood vessels & nerves.  
🗑
Deciduous Teeth   20 primary teeth. Fall out and are replaced. 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 molars.  
🗑
Permanent Teeth   32. 8 incisors, 4 canines, 8 premolars (bicuspids), 12 molars.  
🗑
Pharynx   Part of respiratory & digestive systems. passageway for food, fluid, and air.  
🗑
Swallowing   Stage 1 is voluntary. All of other stages are involuntary.  
🗑
Esophagus   Muscular tube. Propels food to stomach (peristalsis). Esophageal hiatus-opening in diaphragm. Inferior esophageal or cardiac sphincter-circular muscle where esophagus and stomach meet.  
🗑
Reflux Esophagitis   AKA Heartburn. Acidic stomach contents regurgitate into the esophagus. Risk factors: obesity, smoking, types or quantity of food, bulimia. Symptoms: ab pain, difficulty swallowing, increased belching, bleeding.  
🗑
Stomach-upper left quadrant   Mucosa is simple columnar epithelium. Functions: storage of food, mechanical digestion-churn w/ gastric juice, chemical digestion-initiate protein digestion, LIMITED ABSORPTION: only meds & alcohol.  
🗑
Stomach structures   Cardiac sphincter (AKA lower esophageal sphincter). Cardia. Fundus. Body-majority. Greater curvature. Lesser curvature. Gastric rugae. Pyloric region. Pyloric sphincter. Label!  
🗑
Histology of the stomach wall   Stomach mucosa is simple columnar containing 5 different cell types.  
🗑
1. Surface Mucous Cells   Mucin secretion to protect stomach lining.  
🗑
2. Mucous Neck Cells   Acidic mucin secretion to maintain acidic conditions.  
🗑
3. Parietal Cells   Hydrochloric acid secretion. Gastric intrinsic factor secretion: GIF binds to B12 assisting in B12 absorption. Hyposecretion leads to pernicious anemia.  
🗑
4. Chief Cells   Secretion of pepsinogen, an inactive enzyme: Acid activates pepsinogen into pepsin. Pepsin digests proteins.  
🗑
5. Enteroendocrine Cells   Hormone secretion  
🗑
Peptic Ulcer   Erosion of stomach or duodenal mucosa. May be caused by ibuprofen & asprin use. Majority of cases associated with bacterium HELICOBACTER PYLORI. Perforating=eroded through entire wall. Emergency. Treatments: Antibiotics, neutralizing acid-Tums/Rolaids.  
🗑
