    Study Notes

    General Anatomy Overview

    • The digestive system's three main functions include transporting, digesting, and absorbing food, as well as maintaining overall well-being.
    • Food travels from the mouth, through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and exits through the anus.

    Oral Cavity

    • The oral cavity proper is the space between the upper and lower dental arches.
    • Boundaries include the teeth, dental arches, and hard and soft palates.
    • The oral vestibule is the area between the teeth, gums, and lips/cheeks.
    • The oral cavity is fully occupied by the tongue when the mouth is closed.
    • The oral cavity has two distinct parts: the oral vestibule and the oral cavity proper.
    • The oral cavity proper is the enclosed space within the confines of the teeth and gums.
    • Its boundaries are defined by the teeth, gums, and the hard and soft palates.

    Swallowing

    • Swallowing occurs in two stages: oropharyngeal and esophageal.
    • The oropharyngeal phase involves the movement of food towards the pharynx.
    • The esophagus takes over during the esophageal phase, where the food (bolus) proceeds to the stomach.

    Esophagus

    • The esophagus acts as a muscular tube, transporting food from the pharynx to the stomach.
    • Three constrictions exist within the esophagus: cervical (approximately 15 cm from the incisors), thoracic (about 22.5 cm from the incisors), and diaphragmatic (roughly 40 cm from the incisors).
    • The esophageal hiatus, an opening in the diaphragm, allows the esophagus to pass through.

    Stomach

    • The stomach temporarily stores food, mixes it with gastric juices, and releases chyme into the duodenum.
    • Parts include the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus.
    • The pyloric sphincter regulates the passage of chyme into the small intestine.
    • The lesser curvature is the shorter, right-sided curve, while the greater curvature is the longer, left-sided one.

    Stomach Shape and Variations

    • Stomach shape and size vary based on eating habits.
    • Some individuals have a wider, more expansive stomach, while others have a longer, slimmer one.

    Stomach Interior

    • Stomach folds (rugae) are noticeable when the stomach is empty and diminish as it fills with food.
    • The stomach lining's gastric folds (rugae) are most apparent when the stomach contracts and become less distinct when the stomach is distended.

    Stomach Blood and Nerve Supply

    • Blood supply to the stomach originates from branches of the celiac trunk.
    • Nerve supply to the stomach is primarily via the vagus nerves.

    Additional Notes

    • Details about different teeth, their eruption, and shedding times were discussed.
    • Diseases of the oral cavity, including cleft lip, cleft palate, and cyanosis of the lips, along with their causes and effects, were presented.
    • Essential components of the gastrointestinal tract, including the pharynx, esophagus, and stomach, were explained.
    • The different salivary glands, including their functions, were outlined.
    • The nervous system and blood vessels associated with the esophagus, stomach, and oral cavity were described.
    • The lymph nodes and vessels within these regions were also detailed.
