Lecture Outline #24: Digestive System Flashcards
(89 cards)
digestive system function #1
mechanical processing
- chewing (mastication) - gives more surface area for enzymes
- churning of stomach
- segmentation in small intestine
digestive system function #2
chemical breakdown
- sugars, lipids, proteins
digestive system function #3
secretion of acids/enzymes/buffers
- by GI tract
- by accessory organs: pancreas, liver
digestive system function #4
absorption across gut epithelium into BVs
- mainly occurring in SI
- nutrients, electrolytes, vitamins, water
- water absorption mainly occurs in small mesenteric vein to the liver
digestive system #5
dehydration, compaction, excretion
- dehydration and compaction mainly happens in large intestine
- defection of feces
gut - what is, what are the parts
gut - alimentary canal/GI tract, as a whole it is a muscular tube extending from mouth to anus
Make up of diverticula
1. Foregut - mouth, esophagus, stomach, duodenum
2. Midgut - (main absorption) jejunum, ileum
3. Hindgut - colon, rectum, part of anus
accessory organs of gut
tongue, teeth, gastric & intestinal glands
foregut accessory organs - liver, gallbladder, pancreas, salivary glands
the oral cavity
tongue, teeth, lips, cheeks, hard/soft palates
- place of mastication and bolus formation
lips & cheeks
cheeks - buccinator m.
lined with mucous membrane
orbicularis oris - CN VII: keep food in mouth
labial frenulum (superior & inferior lines on centers of gum) stabilized lips
vestibule - space btw lips/cheeks and teeth/gums
uvula
part of soft palate - ball dangly thingy
gingiva
gums
mucosa epithelium covering alveolar bone/hard palate
parotid glands
innervated by IX
anterior to ear
drained by stenson’s duct
submandibular glands
innervated by VII
beneath tongue and sublingual gland
drained by Wharton’s ducts
sublingual glands
innervated by VII
beneath teeth
drained by bartholin’s ducts
saliva
cleans teeth and moistens food
has amylase enzyme to break down starch
protects enamel when acid reflux occurs
tongue
intrinsic m.s run in every direction, XII
muscular hydrostat - m. maintains volume but changes shape
anchored to hyoid & mandible
stabilized by lingual frenulum (attaches tongue to mandible)
ankyloglossia
tongue too tightly bound to floor of mouth by lingual frenulum
hairy tongue (lingua villosa)
hypertrophy of filiform papillae from poor oral hygiene
soft palate
muscular flap, continuation of hard palate
divides naso-/oropharynx during swallowing
hard palate
palatine & maxillary bones
teeth
3 parts
1. crown
2. neck
3. root
innervated by inferior and superior alveolar n.s
attach to V2 and V3
three materials of teeth
- Enamel (crown): calcium phosphate - hardest substance
- Dentin (body of teeth): not as hard, forms, root & encloses the pulp cavity
- cementum: cements each into the socket
pulp cavity
contains NAVLs
root canal: narrow tunnel thru each root
gomphosis
fibrous joint that anchors the root of tooth into the bony alveolar socket
