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
