Anatomy and Physiology 2 (Quiz 1)
Digestive System
81 cards·by mglanville
Basic 4 Layer Structure of the GI tract
1. Mucose 2. Submucosa 3. Muscularis 4. Serosa
Mouth
Oral Cavity
Tongue
Muscular organ with intrinsic muscles and extrinsic muscles
Intrinsic muscles
not attached to the bone
Extrinsic muscles
attached to hybrid bone or soft palate
Tongue has 3 kinds of papillae:
1. Filliform 2. Fungiform 3. Circumvallate
Filiform
File like, vvvvvv SHARP!
Fungiform
round, hold taste buds
Circumvallate
In v shaped rows at back of tongue, holds taste buds
Salivary Glands (3)
1. Parotid 2. Submandibular 3. Sublingual
Salivary Glands secrete saliva which contains:
1. Lysozyme 2. Amylase 3. Growth factor
Lysozyme
antibacterial enzyme
Amylase
digests starch
Growth factor
aids in wound healing
Teeth
Skeletal system structure located in sockets of mandible and maxillary bones
Teeth consist of:
1. enamel 2. dentin 3. inner pulp cavity
Enamel
bone like outer covering. VERY hard.
Dentin
primary substance
Inner pulp cavity
holds blood vessels and nerves
Cavities
caused by bacteria that secrete acid that dissolves the enamel and dentin
Gingivitis
Caused by bacteria; causes gum inflammation
Periodontal disease
bacteria infect the bone around the teeth (jawbone)
Root canal therapy
Removal of infected pulp tissue...the pulp cavity is filled and tooth is capped
Different kinds of teeth in mammals: (4)
1. Incisors 2. Canines 3. Premolars 4. Molars
Incisors
for biting
Canines
In humans are incisor-like UNLESS YOUR A VAMPIRE
Premolars & Molars
for crushing and grinding
Humans 2 dentitions
1. Deciduous teeth 2. Permanent teeth
Deciduous teeth
arrive in first 2 years & lost between 6-12 years
Deciduous teeth dental formula
2-1-0-2 (total of 20 teeth)
Permanent teeth
arrive during 6-14. Third molars take longer
Permanent teeth dental formula
2-1-2-3 (total of 32 teeth)
Alimentary canal
GI tract
Accessory digestive organs
pancreas, liver etc.
Digestive system functions: (5)
1. Ingestion 2. Propulsia 3. Digestion (chem ) 4. Absorption 5. Elimination
Propulsia
movement of food through the GI tract through smooth muscle action termed peristalsis
Digestion (2 types)
Mechanical- grinding, stomach churning. Chemical- digestive enzymes breakdown large
molecules into smaller molecules. ex. starch to glucose
Absorption
Passage of nutrients into blood for delivery to body cells.
Pharynx
throat
3 regions of the pharynx
1. nasopharynx 2. oropharynx 3. laryngopharynx
Nasopharynx
behind the nose
Oropharynx
behind the mouth
Laryngopharynx
bottom structure
Esophagus
muscular tube connecting throat to stomach, meets at cardiac sphincter
Cardiac sphincter
where esophagus meets the stomach
Stomach
c shaped organ with 2 main functions: 1. store food 2. mechanical digestion (some chem)
Rugae
stomach folds, rough
Muscularis differs because
it has an additional oblique layer which increases churning for mechanical digestion
Small intestine
2.5 cm in diameter, most amount of absorption and chemical digestion happens here
3 segments of the small intestine
1. duodenum 2. jéjunum 3. ileum
Duodenum
primary site for chemical digestion in GI tract, receives secretions of the pancreas, liver
gall bladder
Jejunum
middle portion of small intestine
Ileum
empties into large intestine at ileocecal sphincter
Large intestine
7.5 cm in diameter
3 segments of large intestine
1. cecum 2. colon 3. rectum
Colon
makes up most of large intestine. ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid
Liver
largest organ in abdominopelvic cavity, overlies stomach in right upper quadrant, has 2
large lobes
2 large lobes of the liver
left/right
2 smaller lobes of the liver
caudate/quadrate
2 important ligaments on the liver
1. falciform 2. round ligaments
Falciform
ligament that holds liver in place
Round ligaments (liver)
remnant of fetal umbilical vein
Only digestive function of the liver is to:
produce bile which emulsifies fat
Gall bladder
storage organ for bile, a small sac located in a shallowed depression of the liver
Hepatic duct
always liver!
Cystic duct
always gall bladder!
Pancreas
oblong shaped organ that lies behind stomach, secretes digestive enzymes capable of chem
digesting all 4 classes for organic macro molecules
Pancreatic cancer
fast metastis combined w/ loss of crucial digestive function makes quickly fatal,
asymptomatic til late stages
Mucosal layer holds microscopic gastric pits w/ 4 cell types:
1. enter endocrine cells 2. mucous neck cells 3. chief cells 4. parietal cells
Enteroendocrine cells
secrete hormones that effect other digestive system organs, ex. gastrin stimulates
emptying and intestinal contractions
Chief cells
make pepsinogen then when enters stomach becomes pepsin (begins digestion of protein)
Parietal cells
make acid, secrete hydrochloric acid
Substances that are absorbed into the blood:
1. water 2. ethyl alcohol 3. some drugs like asprin
In children gastric pits produce:
1. rennin 2. gastric lipase
Rennin
an enzyme that aids in digestion of milk protein
Gastric lipase
an enzyme that helps digest milk fat
Pancreas 2 different classes of cells:
1. acinar cells 2. islet cells
Acinar cells
make digest enzymes, arranged in clusters of acini
Islet cells
make hormones, are found in islets of langerhans
Insulin and glucagon
regulate blood glucose levels
Epithelial cells
lines ducts, secrete bicarbonate ions that make pancreatic juice. Alkaline (Hco3O)
