Study Notes

Digestive System I: Oral Cavity and Associated Structures

  • The digestive system performs functions of ingestion, digestion, and absorption of food and water.
  • It consists of the oral cavity and associated structures, gastrointestinal tract, and associated glands such as the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

Oral Cavity

  • The oral cavity helps in ingestion of food and water with the help of saliva.
  • It is lined by nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium supported by lamina propria.
  • Part of the oral cavity is lined by parakeratinized epithelium with superficial cells that have nuclei and get exfoliated.
  • Lamina propria has few mucous and serous glands.

Tooth

  • Tooth is composed of enamel, dentine, and cementum.
  • Enamel is the hardest substance in the body and is formed by ameloblasts.
  • Dentine is formed by odontoblasts and has dentineal tubules occupied by processes of odontoblasts.
  • Cementum covers dentine in the root of the tooth and is formed by cementoblasts.
  • The periodontal ligament anchors cementum to the bony alveolar socket.

Tongue

  • Tongue is a mucomuscular organ with a core of skeletal muscles covered with mucous membrane.
  • It helps in taste, speech, mastication, and deglutination.
  • Taste buds consist of neuroepithelial/sensory cells, supporting cells, and basal/stem cells.
  • Chemicals (tastants) stimulate receptor cells and generate signals for sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and delicious tastes.

Salivary Glands

  • Salivary glands include parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands.
  • Parotid gland is a serous salivary gland with acini and striated ducts lined by simple columnar epithelium.
  • Submandibular gland is a mixed salivary gland with both serous and mucous acini and ducts.
  • Sublingual gland is a mucous salivary gland with mucous acini and ducts.
