1. List the alternate names for the digestive tract - ANSWER: Digestive tract (GI tract)

Alimentary Canal

2. Name the organs of the digestive tract and the accessory organs to digestion -
ANSWER: Digestive tract: oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine,
large intestine (colon)


accessory organs: teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas

3. Describe the peritoneum - ANSWER: Peritoneum - moist serous membrane
Parietal peritoneum - outer membrane
Visceral peritoneum - inner membrane

4. Characterize the dorsal and ventral mesenteries - ANSWER: Dorsal mesentery -
suspends GI tract and forms serosa (visceral peritoneum) of stomach & intestines

Ventral mesentery - forms lesser/greater omenta
lacy layer of connective tissue that contains lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, blood
vessels

5. Characterize the lesser and greater omenta - ANSWER: Lesser - attaches stomach
to liver

Greater - covers small intestines like an apron

6. List and describe the functions of digestion - ANSWER: ingestion = selective intake
of food
digestion = breakdown food into smaller molecules
absorption = uptake of nutrients into blood/lymph
defecation = elimination of undigested material

7. List and describe the 3 processes of digestion - ANSWER: Motility(movement) =
muscular contractions that break up food, mix it with enzymes & move it along

secretion = digestive enzymes & hormones

membrane transport = absorption of nutrients

8. Define and describe the 2 stages of digestion - ANSWER: Mechanical digestion -
physical breakdown of food into smaller particles
i.e chewing, cutting and grinding with teeth

Chemical digestion - hydrolysis reactions

,enzymes in saliva, stomach, pancreas, intestines
break macromolecules into their monomers

9. List the alternative names for the mouth - ANSWER: Mouth, Oral cavity or Buccal
Cavity

10. Characterize the structures of the oral cavity - ANSWER: Cheeks and lips:
-keep food between teeth for chewing
-essential for speech & suckling in infants

Tongue is sensitive, muscular manipulator of food
--papillae & taste buds on dorsal surface
--lingual glands secrete saliva, tonsils in root

Hard & soft palate
---allow breathing & chewing at same time

11. Illustrate dentition of children and adults - ANSWER: Dentition: arrangement of
teeth
Baby teeth (20) by 2 years; Adult (32) between 6 and 25

12. Describe the structure of a tooth - ANSWER: Periodontal ligament is modified
periosteum
anchors into bone

Cementum and dentin are living tissue

Enamel - acellular secretion formed during development
--Covers crown and neck

Root canal leads into pulp cavity
--nerves and blood vessels

Gingiva- gums

13. List the functions of the oral cavity - ANSWER: Ingestion

Taste

Mastication - chewing

Begins chemical digestion of starch

Deglutition - swallowing

Speech

, Respiration

14. List and describe the components of saliva - ANSWER: Total of 1 to 1.5 L of saliva
per day
Hypotonic solutions of 99.5% water & solutes:

amylase
lingul lipase
mucus
lysozome
IgA
electrolytes

15. List and describe the functions of saliva - ANSWER: Moistens Mouth
Partially digests starch - salivary amylase
Inhibits bacterial growth
Dissolves molecules to stimulate taste buds
Moistens food
Aids swallowing by binding food together into bolus

16. Contrast intrinsic and extrinsic salivary glands - ANSWER: Indefinite number
dispersed throughout oral tissue
Buccal - cheeks
Labial - lips
Lingual - tongue


3 pairs extrinsic glands connect to oral cavity by ducts
--Parotid, submandibular and sublingual
--mucous glands secrete mucous
--serous glands secrete amylase & electrolytes

17. Characterize the pharynx - ANSWER: Throat - skeletal muscle

Superior, middle & inferior constrictors Force food downward while swallowing

19. List and describe the tissue layers of the GI tract - ANSWER: Mucosa-innermost
epithelium
lamina propria - loose connective tissue
muscularis mucosae - thin layer of smooth muscle


Submucosa

Muscularis externa
--inner circular layer
--outer longitudinal layer
