Digestive System Part I: Alimentary Canal

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Organs of the digestive system   show
🗑
show make up a hollow tube that extends from oral cavity to anus; consist of organs – mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine  
🗑
Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine   show
🗑
show empty their products into the alimentary canal via ducts; include these organs – salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas  
🗑
show accessory organs of digestive system  
🗑
show eating food, drinking liquids  
🗑
Propulsion   show
🗑
Swallowing   show
🗑
Peristalsis   show
🗑
Mechanical/Physical Digestion   show
🗑
Chemical Digestion   show
🗑
show primarily involves movement of digested end products from lumen of GI tract into blood in blood capillaries; but some lipids/fats are also absorbed into lymph in lymphatic capillaries called lacteals  
🗑
Defecation   show
🗑
show Histology of the alimentary canal wall; four major/general layers from inner to outermost  
🗑
Mucosa   show
🗑
Simple columnar epithelium   show
🗑
show specific epithelium tissue component of mouth, most of pharynx, esophagus due to greater physical abrasion from food  
🗑
show three specific sublayers of mucosa  
🗑
Lining epithelium   show
🗑
show specific layer of mucosa; connective tissue positioned deep to lining epithelium; contains most of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) which defends against invasion by bacteria and other microbes in GI tract  
🗑
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)   show
🗑
Muscularis mucosae   show
🗑
Submucosa   show
🗑
Musularis externa   show
🗑
Longitudinal and circular layers   show
🗑
show third sublayer of smooth muscle tissue found only in stomach  
🗑
Parasympathetic division of ANS via vagus nerve   show
🗑
show how activity of smooth muscle in muscularis externa is decreased thus inhibiting digestive tract motility  
🗑
Serosa/visceral peritoneum   show
🗑
Peritonitis   show
🗑
Mesentery, greater omentum, falciform ligament   show
🗑
show sheet-like structure that fans inferiorly from the posterior abdominal wall like long, pleated curtains to support the long coils of the jejunum and ileum of small intestine  
🗑
Greater omentum   show
🗑
show contain both parasympathetic and sympathetic components; psymp components stimulate digestive functions; symp components inhibit digestive functions  
🗑
show nerve plexuses in wall of alimentary canal  
🗑
Myenteric nerve plexus   show
🗑
show nerve plexus of alimentary canal located in submucosa  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
