Term
Definition
gastrointestinal (GI) tract   show
🗑
show Teeth,tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas  
🗑
ingestion   show
🗑
show Each day, cells within the walls of the GI tract and accessory organs secrete a total of about 7 liters of water, acid, buffers, and enzymes into the lumen of the tract  
🗑
mixing and propulsion   show
🗑
digestion   show
🗑
show the teeth cut and grind food before it is swallowed, and then smooth muscles of the stomach and small intestine churn the food  
🗑
chemical digestion   show
🗑
absorption   show
🗑
defecation   show
🗑
show four layers of the GI tract  
🗑
mucosa   show
🗑
submucosa   show
🗑
muscularis   show
🗑
show membrane that secretes a slippery, watery fluid that allows the tract to glide easily against other organs  
🗑
show drapes over the transverse colon and small intestine like a "fatty apron"  
🗑
show A part of the peritoneum that binds the small intestine to the posterior abdominal wall  
🗑
show cheeks, hard and soft palates, and tongue  
🗑
show consists of the maxillae and palatine bones, forms most of the roof of the mouth  
🗑
show muscles in the mouth  
🗑
uvula   show
🗑
lingual frenulum   show
🗑
papillae   show
🗑
parotid, submandibular, sublingual   show
🗑
parotid glands   show
🗑
show found in the floor of the mouth  
🗑
sublingual glands   show
🗑

🗑
salivary amylase   show
🗑
salivation   show
🗑
mastication   show
🗑
bolus   show
🗑
pharynx   show
🗑
show a muscular tube lined with stratified squamous epithelium, transports food to the stomach and secretes mucus  
🗑
show 2 sphincters at the end of the esophagus  
🗑
upper esophageal sphincter   show
🗑
lower esophageal sphincter   show
🗑
voluntary, pharyngeal, and esophageal   show
🗑
voluntary stage   show
🗑
pharyngeal stage   show
🗑
esophageal stage   show
🗑

🗑
show mixing chamber and holding reservoir  
🗑
rugae   show
🗑
show secrete mucus  
🗑
show secrete pepsinogen  
🗑
show inactive form of pepsin  
🗑
show produce hydrochloric acid which kills microbes and converts pepsinogen into pepsin  
🗑
gastric juices   show
🗑
show secrete the hormone gastrin  
🗑
mixing waves   show
🗑
chyme   show
🗑
show mixing wave forces a small amount of chyme through the the partially closed pyloric sphincter into the duodenum  
🗑
pancreatic duct   show
🗑
show pancreatic cells arranged in clusters, exocrine  
🗑

🗑
show secrete an alkaline mucus  
🗑
circular folds   show
🗑
villi   show
🗑

🗑
peptidases   show
🗑
show tiny droplets that include some bile salt molecules along with the long chain fatty acids, monoglycerides, cholesterol, and other dietary lipids  
🗑
chylomicrons   show
🗑
show a strong peristaltic wave that begins in the middle of the colon and drives the colonic contents into the rectum  
🗑
defecation reflex   show
🗑
show smell, sight, sound, or thought of food activates neural centers in the brain, leading to salivation

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
