Question
Answer
Main organs of digestive system   mouth; pharynx; esophagus; stomach; small intestine; large intestine; rectum; anal canal  
🗑
Accessory organs   teeth; tongue; salivary glands; liver; gallbladder; pancreas; appendix  
🗑
Food processing   digestion; absorption; metabolism  
🗑
Digestion   breakdown of food material either mechanically (e.g. chewing) or chemically (e.g. action by enzymes)  
🗑
Absorption   passage of food substance from digestive organs into blood  
🗑
Metabolism   complex process by which food is used inside the cell  
🗑
Two typs of metabolism   anabolism and catabolism  
🗑
Anabolism   process inside the cells where simple compounds are used to make more complex molecules (going from small to large-building up)  
🗑
Catabolism   breakdown of complex compounds into simpler compunds (going from large to small-breaking down)  
🗑
Assimilation   process by which substances are taken up by a cell-note NOT a form of metabolism  
🗑
Mouth   where digestion begins  
🗑
Uvula   cone-shaped structure that hangs down from soft palate that prevents food and liquid from entering the nasal cavities when a person swallows  
🗑
Structures of a tooth   crown (portion exposed and visible in the mouth); neck (portion surrounded by the gum tissue); root (portion that fits into the jaw socket)  
🗑
Enamel   hardest material made by the body and forms the outer covering of the shell of the tooth in the crown  
🗑
Cementum   covers the shell of the tooth in the neck and the root  
🗑
Dentin   substance that makes up most of the shell of the tooth  
🗑
Salivary glands   accessory digestive organs that begin chemical digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth  
🗑
Three pairs of salivary glands   accessory digestive organs that begin chemical digestion of carabohydrates in the mouth  
🗑
Three pairs of salivary glands   parotid; submandibular; sublingual  
🗑
Salivary amylase   digestive enzyme the begins the chemical digestion of carbohydrates in the mouth  
🗑
Layers of the walls of the organs in the digestive system   Mucosa, Submucosa, Muscularis, Serosa  
🗑
Mucosa   inner layer  
🗑
Submucosa   just below the mucosa that contains the blood vessels and nerves  
🗑
Muscularis   layer that is responsible for peristalsis  
🗑
Serosa   outer layer that is also the visceral peritoneum  
🗑
Three pars of the stomach   fundus, body, pylorus  
🗑
Fundus   top part of the stomach that prevents the diaphragm from moving downward and may cause a person to have trouble taking a deep breath when the stomach is full  
🗑
number of layers of muscle in the stomach wall   3  
🗑
Rugae   folds in the stomach  
🗑
gastritis   stomach inflammation  
🗑
Nausea   feeling that one may vomit  
🗑
Emesis   vomiting  
🗑
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)   heartburn or acid indigestion that results from stomach acid back-flowing into the esophagus  
🗑
Ulcer   crater like destruction of the wall of the digestive lining, usually in the stomach  
🗑
Three sections of the small intestine   Duodenum-->Jejunum-->Ileum (don't jump in)  
🗑
Unique feature of small intestine   3 structures that increase surface area for absorption--villi, microvilli, plicae  
🗑
Lacteals   specialized lymphatic capillaries in the samll intestine that absorb large fat molecules  
🗑
Gallbladder   storage for bile  
🗑
Cystic duct   duct that drains bile from the gallbladder  
🗑
Cholecystokinin   enzyme that causes the contraction of the gallbladder  
🗑
Pancrease   enocrine and exocrine gland that produces enzymes that help digest all three food substances (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins); also produces insulin (decdreases blood glucose) and glucogons (increases blood glucose)  
🗑
Insulin   hormone that reverses hyperglycemia  
🗑
Hyperglycemia   increased blood glucose  
🗑
Divisions of the larage intestine(colon):   cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, rectum, anus  
🗑
Hepatic flexure   area of larage intestine that connects ascending colon and transverse colon  
🗑
Splenic flezure   area of large intestine that connects transverse and desedending colon  
🗑
Peritoneum   large sheet of serious membrane that lines the abdominal cavity  
🗑
Extensions of the peritoneum   mesentery and omentum  
🗑
Chemical digestion   break up of food molecules into compounds having smaller molecules by action of enzymes  
🗑
mechanical digestion   break up of food into smaller particles  
🗑
Carbohydrate digestion   begins in mouth  
🗑
Protein digestion   begins in stomACH  
🗑
Fat digestion   begins in small intestine  
🗑
Functions of the liver   produces plasma proteins; produces bile for mechanical digestion of fat; helps maintain proper blood glucose level  
🗑
Fat digestion by bile   MECHSNICAL digestion (not chemical) because bile emulsifies (breaks apart) the big fat globules into smaller fat molecules that can be chemically acted up  
🗑
Cholecystitis   inflammation of the gallbladder  
🗑
Hepatitis   inflammation of the liver  
🗑
Cirrhosis   degeneration of the liver tissue in which normal liver tissues if replaces by fibrous and fatty tissue  
🗑
Pancreatitis   inflammation of the pancreas  
🗑
Diverticula   abnormal out-pouchings from the colon  
🗑
Diverticulitis   inflammation of the diverticula  
🗑
Colitis   inflammation of the large intestine  
🗑
Enteritis   inflammation of the small intestine  
🗑
Appendicitis   inflammation of the appendix  
🗑
Peritonitis   inflammation of the peritoneum  
🗑
Ascites   abnormal accumulation of fluid in teh peritoneal space  
🗑
Kwashiorkor   condition when diet is sufficient in calories but deficient in protein  
🗑
Marasmus   starvation, or diet insufficient in calories  
🗑
Vitamins   organic molecule needed in small quantities to help enzymes operate effectively or to otherwise regulate metabolism in the body=two types water soluble and non-water soluble  
🗑
Water soluble vitamins   unable to be stored C and B  
🗑
Fat-soluble vitamins   can be stored by body-A, D, E, and K  
🗑
Thermoregulation   homeostasis of body temperature  
🗑
forms of heat loss   radiation, conduction, convection, evaporation  
🗑
Ways body conserves or generates heat   reducting blood flow to the skin; shivering; increasing the level of metabolism-stimulating hormone  
🗑
Fever   rise in body temperature that is used to help the immune systems fight a pathogen.  
🗑
