  • Front
  • Back
vestibule
the space between the lips, cheeks, and teeth
tongue
thick muscular organ that aids in mixing and moving food during chewing
papillae
rough projections on the tongue that hold food
taste buds
buried inside some papillae used for taste(fungiform, circumvallate, and foliate)
frenulum
the structure that anchors the tongue to the floor of the mouth
palate
the roof of the mouth, sub divided into the hard palate and the soft palate
hard palate
anterior portion of the palate, supported, by the palatine bones and the palatine processes of the maxillae
soft palate
posterior portion of the palate that is soft and flexible, it works with the uvula to close off the opening into the nasal cavity to prevent food from entering
uvula
the downward extension of the soft palate in the back of the mouth, works with the soft palate to close off the opening into the nasal cavity to prevent food from entering
palatine tonsils
lymphatic tissue located at the back of the mouth and on either side of the tongue
gum
surronunds the teeth to hold them in place
lingual tonsil
bumpy projections at the root of the tongue, not to be confused with papillae
pharyngeal tonsil
located on the posterior wall of the pharynx above the soft palate
parotid gland
ducts that run from the salivary glands to the vestibule, located in front of the ear
sublingual gland
a small gland that lies under the tongue and anterior to the submandibular gland, opens to the mouth via 10 to 12 ducts in the floor of the mouth
submandibular gland
walnut size gland, located medial to each side of the mandible, its ducts open to the base of the frenulum
trachea
aka windpipe, located below the epiglottis and the larynx to the lungs
pharynx
the cavity directly behind the mouth and connects to the esophagus
epiglottis
a flap like structure that closes the trachea during swallowing
crown
1 of 2 regions of a tooth that is above the gum line and covered with enamel
enamel
the outer covering of the crown and is the hardest known substance in the body
dentine
locate below the enamel layer of a tooth, constitutes the bulk of the tooth, not as hard as enamel but harder than bone
pulp
the substance found in the pulp cavity that consists of blood vessels and nerves
pulp cavity
the cavity that contains the pulp and is an area that is surrounded by dentine, it extends down into the root
root
the portion of the tooth that is embedded into the jaw bone
cementum
the outer surface of the root that aids in anchoring the tooth in place, it consist of calcified connective tissue
neck
the region where the crown and the root meet
esophagus
carries food from throat to stomach by peristalsis
stomach
storage, mechanical digestion, chemical digestion of proteiin, produce intrinsic factor
regions of the stomach
cardiac sphincter, cardiac region, fundic region, body, pyloric region, pyloric sphincter, rugae
cardiac sphincter
opens to allow food to enter stomach, closes to prevent reflux into esophagus
pyloric sphincter
controls movement of stomach contents into duodenum
rugae
allows stomach to expand when full, aids in mechanical digestion
pancreas
produces hormones insulin and glucagen
pancreatic duct
carries enzymes to duodenum
liver
performs 200 metabolic and regulatory functions produces bile emulsification of fats
gall bladder
stores bile
hepatic duct
carries bile from liver to commone bile duct
cystic duct
carries bile to and from gall bladder
common bile duct
carries bile from bepatic and cystic ducts to duodenum
small intestine
site of most digestion and absorption of all food types
duodenum
?
jejunum
?
Ileum
?
large intestine(colon)
reabsorbs water from indigestible food, bacterial flora here produce b and k and gasses
ileocecal valve
controls movement from ileum to cecum
appendix
?
cecum
?
ascending colon
?
transverse colon
?
descending colon
?
sigmoid colon
?
rectum
final formation and storage of feces
anus
elimination of feces from the body
mucosa
absorption, secretion, protection from infection
villus
finger like projections increase surface area
columnar epithelium
active and passive absorption, goblet cells that secrete mucus
capillaries
smallest blood vessels, absorption of nutrients, gas exchange
lacteal
lymphoid capillaries in small intestine, uptake of fatty acids(lipids)
crypt of lieberkuhn
secrete intestinal juice and replace mucosa cells
peyer's patch
lymph tissue in mucosa, keep bacteria from entering bloodstream
submucosa
connective tissue layer, contains blood and lymph vessels and nerves
arterioles
vessels that carry oxygenated blood to capillaries
venules
vessels that carry deoxygenated blood from capillaries toward liver
lymphatic vessels
collect fatty lymph fluid from lacteals and carry to bloodstream
muscularis
propels food through digestive tract by peristalsis
circular layer
inner layer of muscularis that squeezes intestine
longitudinal layer
external layer of muscularis that shortens intestine
serosa
outer layer, same as visceral peritoneum, protects, reduces friction, simple squamous epithelium
