Study Notes
Digestive System Anatomy and Function
- Digestion begins in the oral cavity with chewing and salivary glands
- The esophagus is a narrow tube that transitions from skeletal muscle to smooth muscle
- The stomach is divided into the fundus, body, and antrum, with a pylorus and pyloric valve
- The small intestine consists of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, aided by the pancreas and liver
- The large intestine includes the colon, rectum, and anus, where water and electrolytes are absorbed from chyme
- The GI tract wall has four layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa
- Modifications like folds in the stomach and small intestine increase surface area for absorption
- The submucosa contains nerve fibers, blood vessels, and the submucosal plexus of the enteric nervous system
- The muscularis externa exhibits different patterns of contraction including peristalsis and segmental contractions
- Peristalsis involves progressive waves of contraction, while segmental contractions churn and mix intestinal contents
- Slow-wave potentials originate in interstitial cells of Cajal, acting as pacemakers for GI smooth muscle
- The migrating motor complex and peristalsis contribute to the movement and mixing of food in the gastrointestinal tract
