Question
Answer
2 main groups of digestive system organs.   Alimentary canal & accessory digestive organs.  
🗑
Alimentary canal   GI tract (gut) - continuous, muscular digestive tube that digests & absorbs food.  
🗑
Organs of alimentary canal   Mouth, pharyx, esophagus, stomach, sm. intestine, & lg. intestine.  
🗑
Organs of accessory digestive organs.   Teeth, tongue, gallbladder, salivary glands, liver & pancreas  
🗑
Name the 6 essential activities of food processing by digestive system.   (1) indegestion, (2) propulsion, (3) mechanical digestion, (4) chemical digestion, (5) absorption, (6) defecation  
🗑
Segmentation   Rhythmic local constriction of intestines - mixes food w/digestive juices & increases efficiency of absorption.  
🗑
When is chemical digestion essentially complete?   In the small intestine.  
🗑
Major absorptive site in digestive system.   Small intestine - absorbed through mucosal cells by active/passive transport into blood of lymph.  
🗑
Digestive activity is provoked by __.   a range of mechanical & chemical stimuli  
🗑
Sensors (__) are located in walls of tract organs.   mechanoreceptors & chemoreceptors  
🗑
Short reflexes are mediates entirely by __.   local (enteric) plexuses (gut-brain) in response to GI tract stimuli.  
🗑
Long reflexes are initiated by stimuli __.   involving CNS centers & extrinsic autonomic nerves  
🗑
Smooth muscle activity inhibited by __.   VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) or nitric oxide.  
🗑
All ventral body cavities contain __.   serous membranes  
🗑
peritoneum   Serous membrane lining interior of abdominal cavity & covers abdominal organs.  
🗑
mesentery   Peritoneum that extends to digestive organs from body wall & carries blood vessels, lymphatics, nerves & stores fat.  
🗑
retroperitoneal organs   Pancreas & parts of lg. intestine that adhere to dorsal abdominal wall w/o mesentery.  
🗑
intraperitoneal/peritoneal organs   stomach & digestive organs that keep mesentery & remain in peritoneal cavity.  
🗑
peritonitis   Inflammation of peritoneum - leaks stomach juices or burst appendix & feces (bacteria).  
🗑
What arteries serve digestive organs & hepatic portal circulation?   Splanchnic circulation - hepatic, spleen, & L. gastric branches & mesenteric arteries.  
🗑
4 tunic layers of alimentary canal   Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, & serosa.  
🗑
Mucosa (mucous membrane)   Innermost layer, (1) secretes mucus, digestive enzymes, & hormones, (2) absorbs & protects against infectious disease.  
🗑
Epithelium of mucosa   Simple columnar w/goblet cells - diffuse endocrine  
🗑
Which layer is responsible for segmentation & peristalsis?   Muscularis externa  
🗑
Serosa   Outermost layer of intraperitoneal organs - visceral peritoneum - areolar CT w/mesothelium  
🗑
__ organs have both serosa & adventitia.   Retroperitoneal  
🗑
In-house nerve supply of alimentary canal.   Enteric neurons - semi-autonomous  
🗑
Myenteric nerve plexus supplies?   Gi tract wall & controls its motility.  
🗑
__ nervous system has more neurons than entire spinal cord.   enteric  
🗑
Posterior of oral cavity is the __.   oropharynx  
🗑
Oral mucosa responds to injury by producing __.   defensins - antimicrobial peptides  
🗑
What rises reflexively to close off nasopharynx when we swallow?   soft palate  
🗑
Ankyloglossia   "Tongue-tied" - short lingual frenulum  
🗑
mumps   Inflammation of parotid glands (myxovirus).  
🗑
2 types of secretory cells in salivary glands.   Mucous & serous  
🗑
Serous cells produce?   Watery secretion containing enzymes, ions & mucin.  
🗑
Parotid glands contain only __.   serous cells  
🗑
Saliva is __.   hypo-osmotic - 97-99.5% water - pH 6.75 - 7, mucin, lysozyme, & IgA  
🗑
Lingual lipase   Fat-digesting enzyme  
🗑
