🗑
Rugae   folds on wall of stomach that increase surface area  
🗑
Gastric Pits   indentations in stomach where gastric glands (mucus, acid, enzyme secreting) enter  
🗑
Duodenum   first section of small intestine (Asorption)  
🗑
Jejunum   middle of small intestine  
🗑
illeum   last sec of small intestine, separated from large intestine (cecum) by ileocecal valve  
🗑
Plicae circulares   numerous permanent crescentic folds of mucous membrane found in the small intestine especially in the lower part of the duodenum and the jejunum  
🗑
villi   tiny, finger-like projections that protrude from the epithelial lining of the intestinal wall  
🗑
Lacteal   lymphatic capillary that absorbs dietary fats in the villi of the small intestine ○ Intestinal Crypts  
🗑
Peristalsis   muscular contractions of the intestine or other tubular structure that propel the contents onward by alternate contraction and relaxation  
🗑
Cecum   beginning of large intestine; “pouch” ■Vermiform Appendix  
🗑
Colon   Ascending → Transverse → Descending → Sigmoid  
🗑
Rectum   end of large intestine Anal Canal, Anal Columns, External/Internal Anal Sphincter  
🗑
Taenia Coli   ribbons” of smooth muscle that run longitudinally through ascending, transverse, and descending colon, contract to produce “bulges” = haustra  
🗑
Haustra   segmental pouches throughout colon caused by taenia coli  
🗑
structures of Large intestines   Anal columns, Anal Sphincters,Haustra, Taenia Coli  
🗑
Liver   Largest gland in the body, responsible for 500+ functions (processes fats, detoxifies poisons and drugs, makes blood proteins, etc.)  
🗑
Liver function   produce bile (green, alkaline stored in gallbladder and secreted into the duodenum)  
🗑
Liver anatomy   ■ 4 Lobes: Right, Left, Caudate (left of inferior vena cava), Quadrate (left of gallbladder) ■ Ligaments: falciform, round, ligamentum venosum, R/L triangular ligaments  
🗑
Bile   green, alkaline fluid necessary for the proper digestion of lipids (fats) ○made in liver ○Released to duodenum through ducts (R/L Hepatic Ducts → Common Hepatic Ducts & Released into duodenum from ampulla via sphincter  
🗑
Gallbladder   muscular sac, resting in a shallow depression on the visceral surface of right lobe of liver ○ Stores and concentrates bile (produced by the liver) ○Cystic Duct - duct attached to gallbladder ○Cystic artery  
🗑
Pancreas   both an exocrine and endocrine (secretes hormones) gland ○ produce most of the enzymes that digest food in the small intestine  
🗑
Gross Anatomy of Pancreas   3Regions: Head, Body, Tail Main Pancreatic Duct - joins common bile duct to form hepatopancreatic ampulla (pancreatic juices) Accessory Pancreatic Duct - in the head of pancreas, drains into either duodenum, or main pancreatic duct (bicarbonate)  
🗑
Acinar Cells   make, store, and secrete 22+ pancreatic enzymes (digest various types of food in small intestine)  
🗑
Zymogen Granules   stores of inactive enzymes Langerhans cells -endocrine cells  
🗑
Impacted Tooth   - disorder in which a tooth is so crowded in its socket that it cannot erupt normally  
🗑

🗑
Hemorrhoids   varicose veins of the hemorrhoidal veins in the anal canal  
🗑
Cirrhosis   progressive inflammation of liver (chronic alcoholism)  
🗑

🗑
Peptic Ulcers   craterlike erosions in mucosa of digestive tract caused by Helicobacter pylori bacteria (stomach = gastric ulcers & duodenum = duodenal ulcers  
🗑
Intestinal Obstruction   hindrance in movement of chyme or feces through the intestine (either mechanical due to hernia, twist, etc. or nonmechanical stop in peristalsis  
🗑
Inflammatory Bowel Disease   periodic inflammation of intestinal wall characterized by chronic leukocyte infiltration of this wall (cramping, diarrhea, weight loss, intestinal bleeding, etc.)  
🗑
Functions of Digestive system   Prepare food for cellular utilization. Ingestion, Mastication, Deglutition Digestion, Absorption Peristalsis & Defecation
