Saladin Digestive System

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Digestive Functions   show
🗑
show Food is taken into the mouth, chewed and swallowed  
🗑
show Involves mechanical & enzymatic breakdown of large food particles into microscopic nutrients that are able to be absorbed into the bloodstream  
🗑
show Nutrients are pulled across the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream where they are transported to all cells of the body  
🗑
Defecation   show
🗑
Two Parts of Digestive System   show
🗑
show The large pieces of food that are ingested have to be broken into smaller particles that can be acted upon by various enzymes.  
🗑
show Uses water and digestive enzymes to break down the complex molecules.  
🗑
Two Subdivisions of Digestive System   show
🗑
show Alimentary canal: Is tube through which food passes. Function = digestion, absorption and elimination.Components = mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine (bowel), large intestine (bowel, colon). The GI tract consists of the stomach and intest  
🗑
Accesorry Organs   show
🗑
show 1. Mucous 2. Submucosa 3. Muscularis Externa 4. Serosa  
🗑
Mucosa   show
🗑
show In most areas of the digestive tract wall this layer consists of two layers of smooth muscle: an inner layer that has the muscle oriented circularly and an outer layer where the muscle is oriented longitudinally.  
🗑
Relationship to the Peritoneum   show
🗑
show * Lesser Omentum * Greater Omentum * Beyond the transverse colon, the Great Oment continues as a mesentary called mesocolon.  
🗑
Motility/Secretion of Digestive Tract controlled by   show
🗑
show Functions in the following: ingestion, taste , mastication, chemical digestion, speech, and respiration.  
🗑
show Enclosed by the cheeks, lips, palate, and tongue.  
🗑
show Retain food and push it between the teeth for mastication. They are essential for sucking and blowing actions.  
🗑
The Tongue   show
🗑
Tonsils   show
🗑
show Separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity  
🗑
Two Parts of the Palate   show
🗑
show An adult normally has 32 teeth, 16 in the mandible and 16 in the maxilla. Collectively, the teeth are called the dentition.  
🗑
Teeth   show
🗑
show 20 from ages 6 to 30 months  
🗑
Permanent Teeth   show
🗑
show Each tooth is embedded in a socket called an alveolus, forming a gomphosis between tooth and bone. The alveolus is lined by a periodontal ligament. The gum, or gingiva, covers the alveolar bone.  
🗑
show * Crown * Root * Neck  
🗑
show Dentin and Cementin  
🗑
show Enamel  
🗑
show Breaks food into pieces small enough to be swallowed and exposes more surface to the action of digestive enzymes  
🗑
show Moistens the mouth, digests a small amount of starch and fat, cleanses the teeth, inhibits bacterial growth,  
🗑
show 97% to 99.5% water and following solutes: salivary amylase, lingual lipase, mucus, lysozyme, immunoglobulin A, and electrolytes.  
🗑
Extrinsic Salivary Glands   show
🗑
show Mumps  
🗑
show Food stimulates tactile, pressure, and taste receptors, which transmit signals to the salivatory nuclei in the medulla oblongata and pons.  
🗑
show Has a deep layer of longitudinally oriented skeletal muscle & a superficial layer of circular skeletal muscle. a. The circular muscle is divided into superior, middle, and inferior pharyngeal constrictors, which force food downward during swallowing.  
🗑
show The esophagus is a straight muscular tube extending from the larynx to the stomach at the cardiac orifice.The inferior end of the esophagus is more constricted than the rest, forming a lower esophageal sphincter.  
🗑
show Swallowing, or deglutition, is a complex action involving over 22 muscles in the mouth, pharynx and esophagus. They are coordinated by the swallowing center, a nucleus in the medulla oblongata and pons  
🗑
show Buccal and Pharyngeal-esophageal phases.  
🗑
Stomach   show
🗑
show It functions primarily as a food storage organ. When empty, is has a volume of 50 mL. When very full, it may hold up to 4L.  
🗑
Stomach divided into Four Regions   show
🗑
Innervation   show
🗑
Circulation   show
🗑
show * Has tissue layers similar to those of the esophagus * When the stomach is empty, the mucosa and submucosa form conspicuous longitudinal wrinkles called rugae. * The gastric mucosa is pocked with depressions called gastric pits  
🗑
show Mucous cells secrete mucus; regenerative cells divide rapidly & produce cells; parietal cells secrete HCL acid & intrinsic factor; chief cells secrete rennin & lipase in infancy & pepsinogen throughout life; enteroendocrine cells secrete hormones  
🗑
Gastric Secretions   show
🗑
Submucosa   show
🗑
Serosa   show
🗑
show Most of a tooth consists of hard, yellowish tissue that is covered with enamel in the crown and neck and cementum in the root  
🗑
show Located w/i oral tissues, include the lingual glands embedded in tongue, labial glands on inner aspect of the lips, & buccal glands on the inside of the cheeks. They secrete relatively small amounts of saliva all the time to keep the mouth moist and inhi  
🗑
Buccal   show
🗑
Pharyngeal-esophageal phases.   show
🗑
show Mechanically breaks up food particles, liquefies the food, and begins the chemical digestion of proteins and a small amount of fat, producing a mixture of semidigested food called chyme.  
🗑
Tongue Muscles   show
🗑
show Speech  
🗑
show Food Manipulation  
🗑
