Digestive system

MEDSCI 142

QuestionAnswer
enamel -hardest tissue -ca phosphate/carbonate -no sensation
Dentin -similar to enamel -have cells -ondontoblasts in pulp
Pulp -soft tissue -BV, lymphatic, nerves
Cementum -calcified CT -covers root
periodontal ligament -collagen fibres -connect bone of socket to cementum -rapid turnover
Tongue muscles -longitudinal -transverse -vertical -movement in all directions
Tongue surface papillae=fungiform + filiform + circumvallate
Salivary glands (3 types) -(1)parotid -(2)submandibular -(3)sublingual
salivary glands function -parasympathetic stimulation -smell,taste,thought,seeing food -saliva=water+mucous+enzymes -lysozymes & amylase
Lysozyme & amylase -antibacterial -breaks down starch debri
peritoneal cavity -serous fluid
large folds -bind organs together & to abdominal cavity -contain BV,lymphatics & nerves
Greater omentum -largest fold -drapes over colon & small instest. -fatty apron
Falciform ligament -liver to ab. wall & diaphragm
lesser omentum -suspends stomach & dueodenum from liver
mesentry -jejunium & ileum to ab. wall -double layered
four tunics of the gut (1)mucous membrane (2)submucous membrane (3)external SM (4)serosa
(1)mucous membrane -epithelium(protection & absorption) -lamina propria (soft CT,defensive cells, BV lymph,nerves) -muscularis mucosae(mucous)
(2)submucosa membrane -thick bed CT -BV, lymph, nerves -movement & connection betwn. muscle & mucosa
(3)smooth muscle -peristalisis -inner=circular -outer=longitudinal
(4)serosa -slippery outer covering -2layered -outer mesothelium in CT
Esophagus function -transport -protection -little secretion -noabsorption
Esophagus 4 normal layer except: -lacks serosa -SM & skeletal muscle in upper -sacrificial mucous mem.
stomach -4regions -Fundus -cardia -body -pylorus
Stomach functions (5) -secretion:enzyme,acids -Absorption:H2O,ions,drugs -digestion:by pepsin -transport:mixing waves -protection:against microbes
Stomach 4 layers usual except: -pits in epithelial -secreting cells -3-layers external muscle
mucosa of stomach (cells involved) -surface mucosa -undifferentiated -mucous neck cells -parietal -chief cells -gastrin (enteroendocrine)
Surface mucosa cells -insoluble -alkaline mucus -protects from acids & pepsin
Chief cells -lipase -pepsinogen-->pepsin by acid
Undifferentiated -stem cells -divide forming new epithelium
parietal cells -HCl kills microbes
Gastrin cells (enteroendocrine) STOMACH -gastrin(in blood)stim: secretion of pepsinogen & acid, muscle contraction, pyloric sphincter relaxation
mucous neck cells -soluble alkaline mucous -mealtimes
Liver -huge gland -made of hepatocytes (epi.cells) -derived from embryonic endoderm
Hepatocytes Functions (4) -multitalented(more than 500 diff. met. fn) -glycogen/glucose storage & release -bile syn. & secretion -syn. plasma proteins -removal of toxins
Hepatocyte requires..? (3) -nutrient laden blood -oxygenated blood -ducts(drain bile)
Pancreas -dual organ -endocrine & exocrine
Pancreas [exocrine] -manufactures precursor digestive enzy -secret alkaline "pancreatic juices" -active in duodenum
Pancreatic enzyme digest... -most food substance -lipids, proteins, carbs, nuceic acids)
Pancreas [endocrine] -secrete hormones into blood stream -reg. blood glucose (insulin & glucagon)
Small intestine (3 parts) -dueodenum -jejunum -ileum
Duodenum Fn -biliary & pancreatic ducts
jejunum Fn -primary chem. digestion & nutrient absorption
Illeum -terminates at ileocecal sphincter -controls entry of materials
Small intestine usual except: -specialised mucosa incr. SA -submucosa downstream from pyloric contains mucous glands
glands of brunner -in small intestine -below pyloric sphincter -mucous gland
Increasing SA in small intestine (3) (1)plicae (2)villi (3)microvilli
incr. SA (1)Plicae -circular folds -1cM -mucosa surrounding -submucosa in core
incr. SA (2)villi -fingers -1mm -epi. covers -lamina propria covers
incr. SA (3)microvilli -finger -1mircoM -brush border -on indiv. absorptive cells -cell mem. covers -cytoplasm inside
Paneth cells -bactericidal enzyme lysozyme(phagocytic)
Goblet cells secret mucus
Epithelial cells in small instestine are............? short lived
lymph vessel in villi [small instestine] -lacteal -SM fibres contract & lymph milked along
enteroendocrine cells stimulated by ______ which cause secretion of ______ -arrival of chyme -secretin=stim. pancreatic juices released
Large intestine functions (5) (1)absorption(salt&water) (2)secretion(mucus) (3)defacation (4)conversion(chyme->feces) (5)bacteria (produce vits)
ileocecal valve -controls flow chyme -illeum->cecum
7 parts of large intestine cecum -appendix -ascending colon -transverse colon -descending colon -haustra -sigmoid colon -rectum
cecum -dilated pouch -bacteria digest here (not enzymes)
Appendix -vestigial
large intestine usual except: MUCOSA -no vili -enterocytes -goblet no paneth -renewal of wall -many lymphocytes
large intestine usual except: External muscle -longitudinal muscle contract to form pockets (Haustra coli)
mucosa of colon -columnar absorptive (enterocytes) -goblet -undiff. -WBC

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
