21
Q

Where is chemical digestion completed in the body?

A

22
Q

In order what are the 3 regions of the small intestine

A

23
Q

Which region of the small intestine receives secretions from the pancreas, liver and gall bladder?

24
Q

Where does absorption of nutrients begin in the digestive tract ?

A

Small Intestine

25
What is the major function of the large intestine?
Absorption of water from undigested food material
26
What are the 3 accessory organs within the abdominal cavity?
Gall Bladder, Liver, Pancreas
27
What is the digestive function of the liver?
To produce and secrete bile.
28
What are the lobes of the liver called and what are their shape?
Hexagonal, lobules
29
What is the function of the gall bladder?
Store and concentrate bile.
30
How does the pancreas aid in digestion within the duodenum?
Secretory cells produce pancreatic juice which contains many important enzymes
31
What is the function of the fluid produced by the peritoneum?
Combine the digestive organs to the abdominopelvic cavity, lubricate and protect the organs.
32
What are the 3 layers of the esophagus?
- Mucosa: inner layer - Submucosa: middle layer filled of blood vessels and nerves - Muscularis: external layer of longitudinal muscle
33
What type of epithelium comprises the mucosa of the esophagus?
stratified squamous epithelium
34
What is the major movement in the digestive tract?
Peristalsis
35
What type of epithelium is common to the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine?
Simple columnar epithelium
36
What is distinctive to the tissues of the stomach?
Gastric Pits
37
What are the 3 layers of the Muscularis layer of the stomach?

38
Are goblet cells visible in the small intestine?
Yes.
39
What is distinctive to the histology of the small intestine?
Villi
40
Why are goblet cells so abundant in the large intestine?
Because they produce mucin which absorbs water.
41
Define automaticity.
The ability to contract without nervous stimulation.
42
What is rhythmicity?
A regular pattern of repeated contractions.
43
What is the role of the autonomic nervous system in visceral smooth muscle regarding the GI tract?
To regulate the rate and he relative strength of contraction.
44
What 2 characteristics of visceral smooth muscle are responsible for peristalsis?
Automaticity and Rhythmicity
