associated organs w/ digestive system

teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancrease

mixing and propulsion

ensuring that chemicals and food are mixed to promote breakdown, and moving things around

the gi tract always has a

lumen (open space in center)

four layers seen throughout the gi tract from lumen to serous memb

1mucosa


2submucosa


3muscularis


4serosa

submucosa

areolar connective tissue

muscularis

also called muscularis externa to distinguish it from the thinner weaker muscle layer of the mucosa above

serosa in abdomen

serosa forms part of the peritoneal cavity

mucosa is the layer that

lines the lumen

three sublayers of mucosa

epithelium, lamina propria, muscularis mucosae

epithelium

stratified squamous in the mouth and simple columnar in the stomach and intestines

a layer of areolar connective tissue with blood and lymphatic vessels to pick up material absorbed by the epithelium

lamina propria

a thin muscle layer that makes the inside of the GI tract all crinkly and folded

muscularis mucosae

what comprises areolar connective tissue. in it, we find blood and lymphatic vessels and the submucosal plexus of the enteric nervous system.

submucosa

striated (voluntary) muscle in the mouth and pharynx controls swallowing. Smooth muscle, usually in two layers, lines the rest of the GI tract and keeps materials moving through peristalisis

muscularis

the what is made up of areolar connective tissue covered by a simple squamous epithelium.

serosa

in the abdominal cavity, serosa is alled the

visceral peritoneum becuase it forms guts side of peritoneal cavity

buccal

towards cheek

lingual

towards toungue

occlusal

for teeth, towards the surface where they meet other teeth

mesial

toward midline

distal

farther away from the midline

incisors

sharp cutting theeth

cuspids

canine teeth

bicuspids

premolars

molars

grindstone

maxilla

upper jaw

mandible

lower jaw

numbering teeth

starts from patients right distal maxillary molar

children have how many teeth

20 that fall out

the part of the tooth above the gumline and visible is the

crown

the part just below the gumline

neck

the part of the tooth that attaches the tooth to the periodontal ligaments and then to the jawbone

root

the outher part of the tooth forming the occlusal surface and all four sides of the tooth

enamel

enamel made up of

minerals calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate.

enamel is harder than bone because

it is almost all mineral with little organic matrix

deep in the enamel is

dentin

what forms the bulk of the tooth

dentin

dentin contains

dentinal tubules which allow fluid to move

when dentin is exposed

fluid can move (as if dentinal tubules are tiny drinking straws) and the nerves of the root send strong pain signal to brain

the dentin of the root is covered by

cementum

cementum is connected to bone by a series of

periodontal ligaments, a dense fibrous connective tissue

what has proprioception and are resistant to anesthesia, which is why we can feel pressure during dental work

periodontal ligaments

the pain fibers and blood vessels of teeht are enxlosed in

pulp cavity

pulp cavity

chamber formed by dentin with one to three outlets

pain signals carried by apical foramina are carried on the

trigeminal nerve

tongue is made up of

skeletal muscle covered by an epithelium

filiform papillae

look like threads cover mos of thongue surface. nontaste structure that gives rough texture

what are clustered in taste buds

gustatory receptor

taste buds are found

on the toungue in htree groupings

three taste buds found on the tongue

fungiform papillae, foliate papillae, vallate papillae

foliate papillae are found on what part of the tongue

laeral surface of the posterior tongue

vallate papillae form a

v shape row along the posterior tongue

lingual glands

secrete mucus plus an enzyme, lingual lipase, wich helps break down fatty foods in the mouth

three main salivary glands

parotid, sublingual, submandibular

the largest glad, inferior and anterior to the ears

parotid glands/ducts

beneath the tongue

sublingual gland/ducts

floor of the mouth medial and inferior to the mandible

submandibular glands/ducts

mucous acini

make mucus

serous acini

make water and enzymes

two kinds of acini found in salivary glands

mucous/serous acini

enzymes in saliva

lysozoyme, immunoglobulin a (IgA), salivary amylase

enzymes that break down invading microbes

lysozomes

three main salivary glands differ slightly in their secretion

water: parotid gland


water/mucus-y: submandibular gland


mucusy: sublingual gland

the what connects the paranasal sinuses to the pharynx

nasopharynx

the what is where the epiglottis covers the trachea when swallowing food or drink, and covers the esophagus when breathing

laryngopharynx

a muscular tube located in the meduastinum of the thorax

esophagus

what is basic unit that make salive

acini
