| 3 sections of the small intestine: | duodenum (2"), jejunum(96"), ileum (132") |
| Bile and pancreatic juice are delivered here: | duodenum |
| The appendix extends from the: | cecum |
| This connects the ileum and colon: | cecum |
| How long is the colon? | 60" |
| The 4 divisions of the colon: | ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid |
| These ducts deliver bile from liver to gallbladder: | hepatic and cystic duct |
| This organ produces bile: | liver |
| This organ stores and delivers bile to duodenum via common bile duct: | gallbladder |
| What is the primary function of bile? | to emulsify fat |
| Peritoneum | serous membrane that lines abdominal cavity and maintains organs in correct anatomic position |
| The path of food through the digestive tract: | mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, anus |
| Anastomosis | surgical connection of two tubular structures |
| Biliary | refers to gallbladder, bile, bile duct |
| Cholangiography | radiographic recording of bile ducts |
| Cholecystectomy | surgical removal of gallbladder |
| Cholecystoenterostomy | creation of a connection between gallbladder and intestine |
| A colonoscopy may also include part of the: | terminal ileum |

| Diverticulum | protrusion in wall of an organ |
| Dysphagia | difficulty swallowing |
| Enterolysis | releasing of adhesions of intestine |
| Eventration | protrusion of bowel through and opening in abdomen |
| Evisceration | pulling viscera outside of the body through an incision |
| Exstrophy | condition in which an organ is turned inside out |
| Fulguration | use of electric current to destroy tissue |
| Gastroplasty | operation on stomach to repair reconfiguration |
| Gastrostomy | artificial opening between stomach and abdominal wall |
| Hernia | organ or tissue protruding through wall or cavity that usually contains it |
| Ileostomy | artificial opening between ileum and abdominal wall |
| Imbrication | overlapping |
| Incarcerated Hernia | constricted, irreducible hernia that may cause obstruction of an intestine |
| Intussusception | slipping of one part of intestine into another part |
| Jejunostomy | artificial opening between jejunum and abdominal wall |
| Laparoscopy | exploration of the abdomen and pelvic cavities using a scope placed through a small incision in abdominal wall |
| Lithotripsy | crushing of a stone using sound wave or force |
| Hiatal hernia | protrusion of any structure through esophageal hiatus of diaphragm (AKA paraesophageal hernia) |
| Proctosigmoidoscopy | fiberscopic examination of sigmoid colon and rectum |
| Sialolithotomy | removal of stone of salivary gland or duct |
| Varices | varicose veins |
| Volvulus | twisted section of intestine |
| This ulceration of oral mucosa is caused by herpes simplex virus: | canker sore |
| An aphthous ulcer or aphthous stomatitis is also known as: | canker sore |
| Thrush | oral candidiasis (infection caused by fungus) |
| Cold sores are caused by: | herpes simplex virus 1 |
| Another name for herpetic stomatitis: | cold sore |
| Most common type of oral cancer: | squamous cell carcinoma |
| This type of oral cancer is commonly seen in AIDS patients: | Kaposi's sarcoma |
| The atrophy of smooth muscles of lower esophagus, causing LES to not close properly: | scleroderma |
| LES | lower esophageal sphincter |
| Hiatal hernia: | esophagus passes through diaphragm at hiatus; part of stomach protrudes through opening in diaphragm into thorax |
| 2 types of hiatal hernia: | sliding, paraesophageal (rolling) |
| GERD | reflux of gastric contents |
| Gastritis | inflammation of stomach mucosa |
| 2 Types of gastritis: | Acute superficial, chronic atrophic |
| This type of chronic atrophic gastritis is atrophic or fundal: | Type A |

| Peptic Ulcer | erosive area on mucosa |
| Pyloric Stenosis | narrowing of the pyloric sphincter |
| Celiac disease | villi atrophy in response to food containing gluten and lose ability to absorb |
| This enzyme deficiency is secondary to gastrointestinal damage: | lactase deficiency |
| This is the most common type of intestinal ulcer: | duodenal ulcer |
| Meckel's Diverticulum | an appendage of ileum near cecum derived from unobliterated yolk stalk in fetal development |
| 3 types of intestinal obstruction: | nonmechanical (trauma), mechanical (tumors, hernias), diverticulosis (twisted or telescoping bowel) |
