4 layers of the GI tract
mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, serosa
3 tissue layers of the mucosa
epithelium, llamina propria, muscularis mucosae
What trissue forms the submucosa layer?
Areolar connective tissue
Why is submucosa called the "Brain of the gut?"
Consists of 100 million neurons that extend from the esophagus to the anus.
2 smooth muscle layers of the muscularis layer
skeletal and smooth muscle
What is found between the smooth layers of the muscularis?
myenteric plexus
What type of tissue forms the serosa layer?
areolar connective tissue and simple squamous epithelium
What are the two layers of tissue that form the peritoneum and their functions?
parietal: lines wall
visceral: covers some organs
Where is peritoneal cavity located and what does it contain?
slim space between two layers and contains serous fluid.
Define retroperitoneal.
List two organs
on posterior abdominal wall.
Kidneys and pancreas
What is the largest peritoneal fold? Function?
Greater omentum
binds organs together and attaches them to the abdominal wall
Function of lesser omentum
suspends stomach and duodenum
Function of mesentery
binds small intestine to the posteior abdominal wall to wrap around the small intestine
Two other names for the mouth
oral or buccal cavity
What is the midline fold of musous membrane attaching the inner surface of the lip to the gum?
labial frenulum
What is the vestibule?
Enterence to the canal
What bones form the hard palate?
maxillae and palatine bones
What tissue forms the soft palate and uvula?
muscle
What are the 3 major pairs of salivary glands?
parotid, submadibular, and sublingual
What causes mumps?
inflamation and enlargement of the parotid glands caused by the paramyxovirus
What are the papillae of the tongue?
projections of the lamina propria covered w/keratinized epithelium
what do many papilae contain
Taste buds or receptors for touch
4 types of papillae
vallate, fungiform, foliate, filiform
What enzyme is secreted by the lingual glands? What does it act on?
lingual lipase; triglycerides
3 major regions of a typical tooth
Crown, neck, root
What covers the dentin of the tooth crown? What is unique?
enamel made of calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate. Harder than bon, hardest substance in the body
What covers the dentin of the root of the tooth? Function?
cementum, attaches the root to the periodontal ligament
What are the 2 sets of teeth in the human?
deciduous and permanent
What is another term for swallowing?
deglutition
Where is the nerve center that controlls swallowing
madulla oblangata
Whst is the name of the opening through the diaphram that the esophagus opens
esophageal hiatus
Functions and location of esophageal sphincters
Upper regulates movement of food from pharynx into esophagus; Lower regulates movement of food from esophagus to the stomach.
peristalsis
coordinated contractions pushing bolus down.
Gerd
gastrosophageal reflux disease; lower sphincter fails to close causing contents to back up into esophagus.
4 major regions of stomach
cardia, fundus, body, pylorus
Where is pyloric sphincter
function
connects pylorus and duodenum; allows bolus to pass into small intestines
Rugae
function
large folds in the stomach; increases surface
5 types of gastric cells and types and secretions
surface mucous-mucus
mucus neck-mucus
parietal cell-hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor
chief-pepsinogen and gastric lipase
hormone procusing G cells-gastrin
Cell secretes iabsontrinsic factor and function
parietal; absorption of vit B12 which is used in red blood cell formation
Why muscularis layer different
3 layers of smooth muscles
3 regions of pancreas
tail body head
Hormones secreted by the pancreas
glycagon- increase blood sugar level,
insulin-lowers bs lever, somatostatin-inhibits release of insulin, pancreatic polypeptide-inhibits gallbladder contrction
cells in pancrease produceing hormones
A cells -glucogon
B cells-insulin
d cells-somatastatin
F cells-pancreatic polypeptide

right and left lobes, falciform ligament
functional units of the liver
lobules
specialized epithelial cells of the liver lobules
hepatocytes
sinusoids
highly permeable cappillaries that blood passes
what are specialized epithelial cells of liver lobules
hepatocytes
what is the function of stellate reticuliendothelial (kupffer) cells of the liver
fixed phagocytes which destroy worn out white blood cells and red bloodcells, bacteria
what structures of the liver secrete bile
hepatocytes
