Gastrointestinal tract |
Tube from month to anus |
|
Accessory organs of diguestion |
Teeth, tounge, salivary glands Pancreas Liver, gallbladder |
|
Digestive system processes (4) |
Ingestion Diguestion Absorption Defecation |
|
4 layer of GI tract |
Mucosa Submuscosa (areolar CT) Muscluaris externa (causes motility) Serosa Enteric nervous system |
|
Motility |
Mixing and movement of food in GI tract |
|
Muscosa 3 layers |
Epithelium with goblet cells (Stat. Sq. @ ends, simple columnar) Lamina propria (areolar CT) Musculairs mucosa (allows movement of GI tract, ONLY in GI tract) |
|
Entric nervous system |
Run diguestion without brain Myenteric plexus (control muscularis externa) Submuscous plexus (controls mucosal glands and muscles) |
|
Salivary glands |
3 pairs Parotid (inferior and anterior to ears) Submandibular (floor of mouth) Sublingual (below tounge) |
|
Dentition |
Central incisor (1) Lateral incisor (1) Canine (1) Pre molars (0/2) Molars (2/3) |
|
Crown |
Above gum Enamel overlay (acellular, highly calcified) |
|
Neck of tooth |
Enamel + cementum boundary (gums) |
|
Esophagus muscularis externa |
Upper 1/3 - skeleton muscle Middle - mix Lower - smooth muscle |
|
Stomach regions |
Cardiac region (first bit) Fundus (above esophageal entrance) Body Pyloric region |
|
Gastric glands |
Formed by epithelium of stomach mucosa Secret gastric juice to lumen |
|
Gastric gland cells |
Chief cells (pepsinogen & gastric lipase) Parietal cells (HCI and intrinsic factor) Goblet cells G cells (gastrin, a hormone;to blood) |
|
Intrinsic factor |
Reason we must have stomach, allows for B12 breakdown/absorption |
|
Rugae |
Folds of the muscosa and sub mucosa due to contraction of muscularis mucosa Allow for expansion |
|
Small intestine |
Duodenum (secret alkaline muscus) Jejunum (middle) Ileum (prevents infection if sm. In. And bacteria from entering the blood) |
|
Peyers patches |
Lymph nodules in ileum |
|
Plicae circulars |
Submucosa thrown into folds |
|
Villi vrs. Microvilli in sm. Intestine |
Villi - larger, projections of mucosa and contain capillaries and lacteals Microvilli brush border on enterocytes (simple columnar) *both extend into lumen |
|
Hormones in GI tract |
Secret (secreted by S cells) Cholecystokinin (secreted by C cells) |
|
Pancreas 2 parts |
Exocrine portion -acinar cells (secret digestion enzyme) - duct cells (make up duct)
Endocrine portion - secret hormones like insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar |
|
Islets of langerhans |
A.k.a endocrine portion of pancreas |
|
Liver 4 lobes |
Right, left, caudate, quadrate |
|
Liver job/cells |
Hepatocytes
Filters material from GI tract Produces bile Drains into hepatic duct |
|
Gallbaldder |
Rugae (no submucosa) Enzymes, alkaline fluid and bile Drains into cystic duct |
|
Ileocaecal valve |
Between small and large intestine |
|
Large intestine |
No villi or folds Constits of - caecum - appendix - colon |
|
Parts of the colon |
Ascending Hepatic Transverse Descending Sigmoid |
|
Taeniae coli |
Incomplete longitudinal layer of muscularis externa in the colon |
|
Haustra |
Pouches formed by contractions of the taeniae coil (colon) |
|
Epiploic appendages |
Found in colon Fat filled pouches |
|
Anal canal |
Last 3cm of rectum |
|
Anus spincters |
1. Internal (smooth muscle) 2. External (Skelton muscle - voluntary control) |
|
Lymph nodules (Diguestion) |
Foubd in mucosa of small and large intestine |
|
Lacteals |
Filled with absorbed fats from small intestine drain into lymph collecting vessels |
|
Lower GI blood circulation |
1. Aorta 2. Mesenteric artery (inferior and superior) 3. Mesenteric veins (inferior and superior) 3.5 splenic vein (inferior only) 4. Hepatic portal veins 5. Capillaries in liver 6. Hepatic veins 7. Inferior vena cava |
|
Portal system |
Blood vessel between 2 capillaries beds |
|

2 fused sheets of visceral peritoneum Can contain omenta (folds in some area) |
|
Omenta |
Folds of serosa 1. Greater omentum/fatty apron (Covers transverse colon and sm. Intestine and contains fat) 2. Lesser omentum (Suspense stomach from liver) |
|
