Accessory digestive organs   includes salivary glands, liver, gallbladder and pancreas  
🗑
Lips   Obicularis oris muscle, composed of CT and skin (dermis, epidermis), numerous sensory receptors and blood vessels, CN XII (facial nerve)  
🗑
Cheeks   formed by various muscles of facial expression, form the lateral walls of the oral cavity  
🗑
Hard palate   (bone) formed by maxilla and palatine bones, covered with mucous membrane  
🗑
Soft palate   (muscle) muscular arch, covered with mucous membrane  
🗑
Uvula   cone shaped projection of soft palate, keeps food from going into nasal cavity  
🗑
Intrinsic muscles of the tongue   woven skeletal muscle  
🗑
Extrinsic muscles of the tongue   attached to the base of the tongue, orginate from other areas (such as hyoid bone), hypoglossus muscles  
🗑
Frenulum   attaches tongue to floor of mouth  
🗑
What innervates the tongue?   CN IX (glossopharngeal) is senative for the tongue and throat, CN VII and IV is for taste  
🗑
What is on the dorsal surface of the tongue?   papillae (small raised areas), tastebuds, structures sensitive to touch  
🗑
lingual tonsils   lymphoid tissue on posterior of the tongue  
🗑
How many teeth do you have?   20 deciduous, 32 permenent (replaces deciduous in a predictable sequence)  
🗑
How are teeth classified?   According to shape and structure (incisors, canines, premolars, bicuspids, molars)  
🗑
Crown   exposed portion of the tooth  
🗑
Neck (tooth)   portion of tooth that eneters the gum  
🗑
Root (tooth)   anchors tooth firmly in jaw (maxilla or mandable)  
🗑
Peridontal membrane   (similar to periostium) special type of peritoneum which lines the socket (cavity)  
🗑
Gingiva   (gum) mucous membrane  
🗑
Alveolus   socket (cavity) in bone  
🗑
Dentin   bone-like material in tooth  
🗑
Enamel   mostly CaPO4  
🗑
Pulp   blood vessels and nerves  
🗑
Root canal   canal in which pulp is found  
🗑
Salivary glands   located in and around the mouth and are responsible for the production and secretion of saliva *exocrine glands  
🗑
What are the types of saliva glands?   Buccal, Parotid, Submandibular, Sublingual  
🗑
Buccal glands   small glands located in the mucous membrane of the mouth  
🗑
Parotid glands   located inferior and anterior to ear, drains into the oral cavity near 2nd upper molar  
🗑
Submandibular glands   located just inside the mandible, empities into the floor of the mouth  
🗑
Sublingual glands   located under the mucosa in floor of mouth, empties into the floor of the mouth  
🗑
Composition of saliva   water (99%), enzymes, mucous (lubrication), and salts  
🗑
What is the purpose of water in the saliva?   dissolves food and chemicals so they can be digested and tasted  
🗑
What are the two enzymes in saliva?   lysozyme and amylase  
🗑
Lysozyme   destroys bacteria, cleans teeth  
🗑
Amylase   begins digestion, breaks down starches  
🗑
What is the purpose of salt in the saliva?   maintains proper pH for digestive enzymes  
🗑
What part of the nervous system controls salivation?   parasympathetic  
🗑
How much salvia is secreted each day?   1 to 2 liters  
🗑
Mumps   a viral infection which leads to inflamation and enlargement of the parotid glands  
🗑
Pharynx   (see respiratory I) lined with stratified squamous epithelium, mucous membrane (lubrication), skeletal muscle  
🗑
What are the main layers of the digestive tract?   Mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, serosa  
🗑
Mucosa layer   (inner layer)epithelium: stratified squamous (mouth, pharynx, esophagus and anal canal)and simple columnar (stomach, small and large intestine)-also lamina propria  
🗑
Lamina propria   basment membrane of the mucous layer which sits on the submucosa  
🗑
Submucosa   (outer layer) contains many blood vessels, elastic and collaginous fibers (allows GI tract to expand), nerve plexuses (primarily parasympathetic) and lyphpathics (lacteals)  
🗑
Lacteals   lymphatic protion of the submucosa layer, involved in the transport of fats and lipids  
🗑
Muscularis   (musclular layer- like tunica media)smooth muscle: inner cicular layer (mixes food), outer longitudial layer (propels food). innervated by ANS, skeltal muscle at the begining and end  
🗑
Serosa   (Adventita)outer layer composed of fibrous CT  
🗑
What are the nerve plexsuses of the GI tract?   Celiac, Mesenteric, Messner's submucosal and Myentric  
🗑
Celiac plexus and Mesenteric plexus   located around the major arteries, transmits nerve impulses from vagus (CN X)  
🗑
Messner's submucosal plexus   located within the submucosa, controls glands and mucosal folds  
🗑
Myenteric plexus   *most important* located within the muscularis layer, major supply to smooth muscle  
🗑
How do sympathatic fibers affect the GI tract?   generally inhibit gastrointestinal activity  
🗑
Where do the sympathetic fibers come from?   thoraic region of the spinal cord and sympathetic chain ganglia  
🗑
How do parasympathatic fibers affect the GI tract?   promote gastrointestinal activity  
🗑
Where do parasympathatic fibers come from?   carried by the vagus nerve or coming from the sacral region of the spinal cord  
🗑
Blood supply for the GI tract   Celiac trunk, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric  
🗑
