Test 3 Flashcards
(91 cards)
The process of taking food into the digestive tract, typically occurs at the mouth
Ingestion
Process that moves food through the alimentary canal.
Propulsion
Pattern of smooth muscle activity that pushes material through the lumen of an alimentary organ and into another
Peristalsis
Break larges pieces of food into pieces or makes large molecules spread or break up, thus increasing the amount of surface area of that food/molecule that is exposed to
Mechanical breakdown
Chewing, mixing food with saliva by tongue and teeth, churning of food in the stomach, and emulsification
Mechanical breakdown
Process that uses enzymes to catalyze catabolic chemical reaction
Digesion
Process that involves the movement of organic monomers from the lumen of the GI tract and into the blood or lymph
Absorption
Muscular process that elminates undigested/indigested material from the body in the form of feces, typically occurs at the anal opening
Defecation
Organs suspended by mesinteries within the abdominopelvic cavity
Intrapertioneal orangs
Abdominopelvic organs that lack mesentery and which are embedded in the posterior abdominal wall
Retroperitoneal organs
Moist epithelial membrane that faces the lumen and interacts with its contents. extends from the mouth to the anus
Mucosa
layer of areolar CT deep to the muscosa, contains a rich supply of blood and lymphatic vessels. lymphoid follicles and nerves that support the muscoa
Submucosa
layer of composed of at least 2 layers of smooth muscles that is deep to the submucosa. produces movements associated with segmentation
muscularis externa
Layer that faces the abdominopelvic cavity, compoused of areloar CT covered with simple squamous epithelium
Serosa
fibrous Ct layer that covers the external surface of digestive organs that are not in the abdominopelvic cavity, I.E. the esophogas
adventitia
Set of systemic arteries that deliver oxygen rich blood to the abdominopelvic digestive organs
Splanchnic circulation
All three of these unpaired arteries that branch from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta
Celicia trunk, superior mesenteric arety, and the inferior mesentaric artery
Set of veins that make up the hepatic portal circulation
consists of veins that collect the blood draining away from the abdominopelvic digestive organs
Once the liver has removed cetrain nutrients for use and or storage, the blood is directed into hepatic veins
these veins then direct oxygen poor, nutrient poor blood into the inferior vena cava so it can be returned to the heart
Once the liver has removed cetrain nutrients for use and or storage, the blood is directed into hepatic veins
these veins then direct oxygen poor, nutrient poor blood into the inferior vena cava so it can be returned to the heart
Site of ingestion, lined with oral mucosa containing non-keritinated stratified squamous epithelium to withstand friction, continuous posteriorly with the oropharynx
Mouth AKA oral cavity
Forms the roof of the mouth
palate
Anterior part of the palate, composed of bone and forms a firm surface against which the tongue forces food during chewing
hard palate
Posterior part of the palate which is composed of skeletal muscle, contacts to black the nasopharynx
soft palate
