| Enamel covers this part of the crown | Dentin |
| The cementum covers this part of the teeth | Neck and roots |
| At the neck, the cementum is covered by what kind of tissue? | Gum tissue (gingival) |
| This membrane anchors the teeth and lines the socket. | Periodontal Membrane |
| ________ _________ is disease of enamel, dentin and cementum and leads to a permanent defect called cavities | Dental Caries |
| Baby teeth are referred to as | Deciduous |
| Chewing is referred to as ___________ | Mastication |
| This is the accessory gland that is the 1st step in digestion. | Salivary glands |
| What are the 3 salivary glands? | Parotid, Submandibular, Sublingual |
| Which salivary gland opens on either side of the lingual frenulum? | Submandibular |
| This gland is associate with the Mumps. | Parotid |
| Deciduous teeth do not have these? | Premolars |
| This attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth | Lingual Frenulum |
| The wall of the pulp cavity is covered by this | Dentin |
| The permanent central incisor erupts between the ages of ____ & _____ | 7 and 8 |
| The 3rd premolar is often refered to as this and appears at what age? | Wisdom Teeth; 17-24 |
| The volume of saliva secreted by an adult per day is____________ | 1 liter |
| How many premolars are there? | 2 |
| How many incisors are there in an adult? | 8 |
| This tubelike stucture functions as part of the respiratory and digestive system. | Pharynx |
| Food enters the stomach by passing through the muscular _____________ _________ of the esophagus. | cardiac sphincter |
| Name the 3 parts of the stomach. | Fundus, body, pylorus |
| After the food has set in the stomach for approximately this amount of time, chyme then enters into the small intestines | 3 hours |
| The stomach folds are called? | Rugae |
| The intestinal folds are called? | Plicae |
| The lower left border of the stomach is called? | Greater curvature |
| This condition could cause chyme to go in a backward movement and into the lower part of the esophagus | Hiatal Hernia |

| The middle 3rd of the duodenum contains this opening? | Major duodenal papilla |
| Most gastric and duodenal ulcers result from an infection with the bacterium: | Helicobacter pylori |
| What kind of gland is the liver? | Exocrine |
| Fats in the chyme stimulate the secretion of the hormone ____________ in the duodenum: | Cholecystokinin |
| What does the hormone cholecystokinin act upon? | The contraction of the gallbladder thus releasing the stored bile. |
| What breaks large fat globules into smaller fat globules? | Bile |
| The 2 products used to break down fat? | Bile & Lipase |
| This organ is the majority of absorbtion | Small intestines |
| What is the most important digestive juice? | Pancreatic juice |
| What is the purpose of sodium bicarbonate secreted by the pancreas? | In neutralized the hydrochloric acid from the stomach (from gastric juice) |
| Why is pancreatic juice the most important digestive juice? | It contains enzymes that digest all 3 major kinds of foods. |
| The 2 main functions of bile is what? | Rid the body of cholesterol and emulsify fats. |
