chpt 24: digestive system Flashcards
(108 cards)
overall function of the digestive system
breakdown nutrients so enzymes, growth, cell division, repair and heat can take place
in depth functions of the digestive system
- ingestion
- secretion
- mixing and propulsion (Molitiy)
- digestion
- absorption
- defecation
what is the secretion function of the digestive sys
secrete acids, water, buffers, enzymes
how Many liters of secretion does the digestive system secrete
7 L
function of enterendocrine cells
- secrets enzymes and hormones
what are the organs G1 or digestive canal
- esophagus
- stomach
- small intestines
- large intestines
- anal canal
the accessory digestive organs
- mouth
- teeth
- tongue
- salivary glands
- liver
- gall bladder
- pancreas
are the accessory digestive organs involved in secertions
no, they aid
peritoneum function
- covers and protects organs (visceral)
- covers cavity (partial)
what are the folds to each other and to other organs of digestive system called
- peritoneum
names of peritoneum folds
- greater omentum
- falciform ligament
- lesser omentum
- mesentery
- mesicolon
- retroperitoneal organs
which is the longest peritoneum fold
- greater omentum
location of greater omentum
- drapes over transverse colon
- coils s.i (like a fatty apron)
(beer belly)
which peritoneum fold/ ligament attaches the liver to ant abdominal wall and diaphragm
- falciform ligament
lesser omentum location/ organs near by
- suspends the stomachs and duodenum from liver
which peritoneum fold binds the jejunum and ileum (s.i) to post abdominal wall
mesentery
mesicolon location/ organ / function
- binds the transverse the colon and sigmoid colon (s.i) to post abdominal wall
which organs are part of the retroperitoneal organs
- ascending and deciding colon
- duodenum
- pancreas
- kidneys
layers of the GI tract
- mucosa
- submuscosa
- muscularis
- serosa
which is the innermost lining/ forms the lumen of the GI tract
- mucosa
structures/ cells in the mucosa layer
- epithelial cells
- lamina propia (MALT)
- muscualris mucosa
epithelial cells functions
- absorbs nutrients
- contain enteroendocrine cells
which mucosa structure contains mucosa- associated lymphatic tissue (MALT)
lamina propia
what structures does the lamina propria contain
- MALT
- areolar CT, bv, lymphatic vessel
