what are the functions of digestive system
ingestion, mechanical digestion (mastication and segmentation), propulsion(degluttition and peristalsis), chemical digestion, absorption, defecation
movement of food is in an-
aboral direction
how many digestive functions?
6 - ingestion, mechanical digestion chemical digestion, propulsion, absorption, defecation
3 types of chemical stimuli
ACH, Gastrin, Histamine
digestive 2 structural parts
ALIMENTARY CANAL and GI TRACT, PLUS ACCESSORY ORGANS FOUND WITHIN CANAL
accessory organs digestion-
pancreas, lips teeth, tongue, salivary gland, liver, gallbladder, etc
stomach muscle layers-
longitudinal, circular, oblique
male duct system order

-epiditymus
-vas deferens
-ampulla of vas deferens
-ejaculatory duct
-prostatic urethra
-membranous urethra
-spongy urethra

alimentary system 1st of three mandatory layers anywhere are:
3 layers - mucosal layer (can be stratified squamous epithelium or columnar epithelium, etc),
4th layer in any given oart of alimentary canal is either-
cerosal or adventitial covering
alimentary system covering is made up of -
3 mandatory layers
alimentary system 2nd of 3 mandatory layers anywhere are:
loose aereolar connective tissue (lamina propria),
alimentary system 3rd of 3 mandatory layers anywhere are:
smooth muscle called muscularis mucosae (no true propulsion, weak, causes only undulating movements for mixing)
mucosal digestive surface undulating increases-
absorption and stuck things shaking free
smooth muscle for digestion under nervous control and has-
automaticity
pacemaker cells,
cells of cajal..causes waves upon eating's start
digestive: 2 nervous plexi.. one superior and one inferior...are:
cells of autonomic nervous system
digestive system/cells of autonomic nervous system: inhibited by
sympathetic innervation
digestive system/cells of autonomic nervous system: stimulated by
parasympathetic innervation
2nd layer deep to mucosa is
submucosa aka connective tissue, where veins/arteries are
3rd layer of smooth muscle consists of 2 sublayers
OUTER LONGITUDINAL LAYER and CIRCULAR layer
CIRCULAR AND LONGITUDINAL LAYERS MAKE UP THE-
MYENTERIC PLEXUS
amylase pH:
6-8
mouth pH:
6
small intestine pH:
8
lingual lipase is:
water soluble
deglutition phases-
oral phase and pharyngo-esophageal phase
after swallowing when bolus reaches pharynx-
becomes automatic
uvula during deglutition:
moves superiorly along with soft palate-- blocking respiratory tract
upper esophageal sphincter makeup:
3 skeletal muscles, including crico-esophageal muscle (voluntary), 3 constrict
esophageal component of deglutition:
10 inches, 6-8 seconds - to go from upper to lower esophagus
outer longitudinal layer
shortens and widens organ's lumen
circular layer
narrows and lengthens
myentery plexus
innervates outer smooth muscle layer
local reflexes caused by
physical distension or chemical irritation of sensors
cranial nerve 9 innervates
parotid salivary gland
vagus nerve in charge of
parasympathetic innervation all the way to transverse colon
pelvic nerves take over at the
transverse colon
esophagus has
connective adventitia tissue
tongue extrinsic movement
extrinsic muscles for movement and verbal articulation
tongue intrinsic muscles
change tongue shape
parotid saliv. gland
largest, near ear, does less than 1/3 of saliva output,
parotid duct
major duct, aka Stensen's duct,
salivary gland
cerous or mucous
mucus
mucin slippery substance
submandibular
most saliva produced (50/50 mucin to water)
parotid saliv. gland location
at the level of 2nd molar of upper jaw
parotid salivary
primarily cerous
sublingual gland
floor of mouth, does 5% output, anterior
sublingual saliv. gland location
mostly mucin not water
1.5 liters saliva per
day, total between 3 glands
parasympathetic stimulation
saliva release due to vasodilation
sympathetic stimulation
reduces saliva production/release
aldsterone causes
more K and less Na in saliva
transverse colon
runs left and right
small intestine made up of:
duodenum, jejunum. ileum,
Mechano- and chemoreceptors respond to:
Stretch, osmolarity, and pH
Presence of substrate, and end products of digestion
stratum functionalis layer:
lost during a woman's period
esophageal movements of liquids-
gravity causes that
esophageal movements of solid bolus-
peristalsis causes that
intrinsic muscles-
ball up the tongue pushing food toward pharynx
cranial nerve 9-
gag reflex throwing up
cranial nerve 10-
deglutition contractions, relaxations
lower esophageal sphincter
thickening of smooth muscle then relaxes and food passes to stomach
cardia-
stomach part close to heart
esophagus has-
3 narrowings
sympathetic and parapsympathetic (mostly)
influence digestive tract
local stimulation, which lead to short reflexes, is the opposite of
cephalic stimulation leading to long reflex
acidity in stomach increasing dropping below 2 pH
this acts as a negative feedback mechanism
pancreas is -
retroperitoneal
mesentery structures-
double foldings behind the organ, attach organ to wall of abdominal cavity
nerves, blood vessels and lymphatic vessels -
Pass thru mesenteries
most mesentery structures are POSTERIOR-
BUT LIVER ONE IS ANTERIOR
mesentery-
2 double layered membranes, most are dorsal except the one for the liver which is ventral
stomach meets esophagus at the-
cardia
body of the stomach has 2 curvatures-
lateral greater curvature and medial lesser curvature
off the greater curvature is the location of the:
greater OMENTA
off the lesser curvature is the location of the:
lesser OMENTA, which runs up toward the liver
where stomach narrows is called the
pylorum or pyloric region
pyloric sphincter
does not open much at all
lower esophageal sphincter as well as the upper one-
opens relaxes and lets content in
additional muscle layer in stomach is the-
deep oblique layer where fibers run obliquely to horizontal AND longitudinal fibers
chyme liquid is formed in
the stomach
wrinkling of mucosa of stomach is called the -
rugae, undulations or wrinkles present only when organ is shrunken and emptied
stomach
columnar epithelium
stomach columnar epithelium inner surface is:
goblet cells that each secrete alkalinic mucus with tight junctions in between
gastritis
irritation of stomach tissue due to lack of mucus
gastric pits
indentations in the stomach which denote entrances to the tubular shaped gastric glands. They are deeper in the pylorus
stomach mucus, which on the top is covered in a layer of
sodium bicarbonate
mucous neck cells
secrete acidic mucus
intrinsic factor
Intrinsic factor (IF) also known as gastric intrinsic factor (GIF) is a glycoprotein produced by the parietal cells of the stomach. It is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 later on in the small intestine
chief cells-
secrete pepsinogen
entero-endoctrine cells - 2 types we are concerned with and what they produce:
G cells - secrete gastrin

enterochromaffine-like cells - secrete histamine
acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter from vagus nerve
increases Ca concentration in carotid cells...leads to HCl secretion
parietal cells
Parietal cells are the stomach epithelium cells that secrete gastric acid and intrinsic factor in response to histamine (H2 receptor), acetylcholine (M3 receptors[1]) and gastrin (CCK2 receptors).
parietal cells stimulated directly by
vagus nerve 10
chloride leaks out in -
antiport system to merge with hydrogen ions and make Hcl acid in stomach
pancreas-
counteracts acidity of chyme by releasing sodium bicarbonate
liver has to clean blood-
so you dont get hepatic dementia
large amounts of bicarbonate into interstitial fluid-
causes alkaline tide in nearby blood
pancreas-
produces acidic tide to counteract stomach's alkalinic tide
ciliac trunk and superior and inferior mesenteric arteries-
feed the digestive system
ciliac trunk divides into-
left gastric, splenic and common hepatic arteries
Parietal cells also produce intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is required for the absorption of
Vitamin B12 in the diet.
pylorum closed so...
large wave hits and then large wave comes backwards (retropulsion)
small intestine's purpose is
absorption, has not too many goblet cells and no mucosal layer
