Study Notes
Digestive System Anatomy Overview
- The esophagus is located posterior to the trachea and enters the peritoneal cavity through the diaphragm.
- The stomach occupies specific regions and functions in food storage, mechanical breakdown, and chemical digestion.
- The small intestine is the primary site for nutrient absorption, with the duodenum having distinct parts and papillae.
- The large intestine includes the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.
- The rectum acts as a temporary storage for fecal material and triggers the urge to defecate.
- Accessory organs include salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, sublingual), liver (bile production, metabolism, and storage), and pancreas (exocrine and endocrine functions).
- The arterial system includes the celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery, and inferior mesenteric artery for specific vascularization.
- The venous system includes the renal veins, gonadal veins, and common iliac veins, as well as the portal vein formed by the splenic, superior mesenteric, and inferior mesenteric veins.
- The text refers to various anatomy atlases and resources, including Gray's Anatomy, Atlas of Human Anatomy, and others.
- The digestive system's anatomy is a key focus, with detailed descriptions of the structures, functions, and innervation.
