Digestion/Resp/Lymph
The Digestive System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the digestive organs of the alimentary canal? | Mouth,pharynx,esophagus,stomach,small and large intestine |
| What are the accessory digestive system organs? | teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. |
| What is the first function of the digestive system? | The digestive system controls the environment within it lumen to ensure optimal conditions for digestion and absorption of foodstuffs. |
| What is the second function of the digestive system? | Receptors and hormone secreting cells in the alimentary canal wall respond to stretch and chemicals signals that result in stimulation or inhibition of GI secretory activity or motility. The alimentary canal has an intrinsic nerve supply. |
| What are the major processes occurring during digestive system activity? | 1. Ingestion, 2. Movement of food through the tract, 3. Mechanical Digestion, 4. Chemical Digestion, 5. Absorption, 6. Elimination |
| What is Ingestion? | food intake via the mouth |
| What is mechanical digestion? | Processes that physically mix or break down food into smaller fragments. Includes chewing, mixing of food with saliva by the tongue, churning food in the stomach, and segmentation, or rhythmic local constrictions of the small intestine. |
| What is chemical digestion? | Food breakdown by enzymatic action. Begins in the mouth and is essentially complete in the small intestine. |
| What is Absorption? | transport of products of digestion through the intestinal mucosa into the blood. Occurs by active or passive transport into the blood or lymph. |
| What is Elimination or Defecation? | the undigested residues (feces) from the body. Via the anus |
| What is Propulsion? | second step of digestion. moves food through the alimentary canal, includes swallowing, which is initiated voluntarily, and peristalsis, the major means of propulsion, involves alternate waves of contraction and relaxation of muscles in the organ walls. |
| What is segmentation? | mixes food with digestive juices and increases the efficiency of absorption by repeatedly moving different parts of the food mass over the intestinal wall. |
| What is the location and function of the peritoneum? | The peritoneum is in the abdominopelvic cavity. Contains the visceral peritoneum, which covers the external surfaces of most digestive organs. Parietal peritoneum lines the body wall. Between the two peritoneums is the peritoneal cavity. |
| What is retroperitoneal and name the retroperitoneal organs? | It is the space in the abdominal cavity behind the peritoneum. Pancreas and part of the large intestine. SAD PUCKER: adrenal glands, aorta, duodenum, pancreas, uterus, colon,kidneys, esophagus, rectum. |
