Answer
7ut8rne47t894un89yb45nm9   show
🗑
show mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, & lg. intestine  
🗑
name the accessory digestive organs   show
🗑
ingestion   show
🗑
propulsion   show
🗑
peristalsis   show
🗑
show physically prepares food for chemical digestion by enzymes; chewing, mixing of food w/ saliva by the tounge, churning food in the stomach & segmentation  
🗑
segmentation   show
🗑
show 789789789678978960#@$&*()_  
🗑
absorption   show
🗑
show small intestine  
🗑
show eliminates indigestible substances from the body via the anus in the form of feces  
🗑
list the six essential activities for processing food by the digestive system   show
🗑
two things that apply tot eh regulatory mechanisms   show
🗑
sensors (location & response)   show
🗑
show (1) activate or inhibit glands that secrete digestive juices into the lumen or hormones into the blood or (2) mix lumen contents & move them along th elength of the tract by stimulating the smooth muscle of the GI tract walls  
🗑
show nerve plexuse; they extend & influence each other; aquires two kindes of reflexes (short & long)  
🗑
show mediated entirely by the local (enteric) plexuses (so-called gut brain ) in response to GI tract stimuli  
🗑
show initiated by stimuli arising within or outside the GI tract & involve CNS centers & extrinsic autonomic nerves  
🗑
the stomach & sm. intestin contain hormone-producing cells that are distributed via the   show
🗑
peritoneum   show
🗑
visceral peritoneum   show
🗑
parietal peritoneum   show
🗑
peritoneal cavity   show
🗑
show lubricates the mobile digestive organs & allows them to glide easily across one anothe & alon the body wall as they cary outh their digestive activites  
🗑
mesentery   show
🗑
retroperitoneal organs   show
🗑
show digestive organs (like the stomach) that keep their mesentery & remain in the peritoneal cavity  
🗑
show inflammation of the peritoneum, can arise from a piercing wound of the abdomen or from a perforating ulcer that leaks stomach juices intot he peritoneal cavity, most commonly from a burst appendix  
🗑
splanchnic circulation   show
🗑
show mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa & serosa  
🗑
mucosa   show
🗑
explain what secretion does during the mucosa   show
🗑
show absorption of the end products of digestion into the blood  
🗑
explain protection in the mucosa   show
🗑
name the typical digestive mucosas sublayers   show
🗑
the epithelium of the mucosa is a   show
🗑
the slippery mucus it produces protects certain digestive organs from   show
🗑
show underlies the epithelium, is loose areolar (or reticular) connective tissue; its capillaries nourish the epithelium & absorb digested nutrients  
🗑
show the mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue are importanct in the defense against bacteria & other pathogens, which have rather free access to our digestive tract  
🗑
peristalsis mucosae   show
🗑
show external tot he mucosa; moderately dense connective tissue containing blood & lymphatic vessels, lymph nodules & nerve fibers; enables the stomach to regain its normal shape after temporarily storing a large meal  
🗑
show deep to the submucosa; responsible for segmentation & peristalsis (mixes & propels foodstuffs along the digestive tract)  
🗑
the musclaris externa layers are   show
🗑
show act as valves to prevent backflow & control food passage from one organ to the next; occurs from the circular lyer thickens  
🗑
the serosa   show
🗑
adventitia   show
🗑
show the alimentary canals own in-house nerve supply which communicate widely w. each other to regulate digestive system activity;constitute the bulk of the two mj intrinsic nerve plexuses found within the walls of the alimentary cnal; submucosal & myenteric n  
🗑
show occupies the submucosa & chiefly regulates the activity of glands & smooth muscle in the mucosa tunic  
🗑
myenteric nerve plexus   show
🗑
show filiform, fungiform, & circumvallate  
🗑
show give the toung surface a roughness that aids in licking semisolid foods & provide friction for manipulating foods inthe mouth (their the smallest and most numoruse); contain keratin which stiffens them & gives tounge whitish apperance  
🗑
fungiform papillae   show
🗑
show 1)cleanses the mouth 2)dissolves food chemicals so they can be tasted 3) moistens food & aids in compacting it intoa bolus 4) contains enzymes that begin the chemical breakdown of starchy foods  
🗑
