Questions and Answers

What are the two parts of the palate and what tissues make up each part?

The two parts of the palate are the hard palate and the soft palate. The hard palate is formed by the palatine processes of the maxilla and the palatine bones, while the soft palate consists of skeletal muscle and glandular tissues.

What is the function of the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches?

The palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches help to form the fauces, the opening between the oral cavity and the pharynx. They also help to close off the nasopharynx during swallowing.

The uvula helps to prevent food from entering the nasal cavity during swallowing.

<p>The pharyngeal tonsil, also known as the adenoid, is located in the nasopharynx. It helps to trap pathogens and prevent them from entering the body.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Digestive System I

  •  The digestive system is responsible for ingestion, digestion, absorption of nutrients, and elimination of waste.
  •  Anatomically, most of the digestive system is located in the abdominopelvic cavity.
  •  Parts of the digestive tract include the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine.
  •  Accessory digestive organs include the teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
  • Learning outcomes for students include describing the structures, location, and functions of digestive organs, and describing the histology of selected organs.
  • A hadith, reported by Abu Huraira, describes how Allah values good deeds and lawful sustenance, and that supplication won't be accepted if the person's diet is unlawful.
  •  The layers of the digestive tract (general histology) include the mucosa (epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae), submucosa (connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerve plexus), muscularis externa (inner circular layer and outer longitudinal layer of smooth muscle), and serosa/adventitia (visceral peritoneum or loose connective tissue).
  • The esophagus, stomach, small intestines (duodenum, jejunum, ileum ),and large intestines (cecum, colon, rectum, anal canal) are all parts of the digestive system.
  • The mouth/oral cavity has the structures of the cheeks (buccinator muscle), lips (orbicularis oris muscle), palate (hard and soft), tongue (skeletal muscle), and openings (oral fissure and fauces).
  • The pharynx consists of three parts: nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.
  • The stomach has parts called the cardia, fundus, body, pylorus, and antrum, featuring gastric rugae internally.
  • The small intestine has parts called the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.
  • The large intestine has parts called the cecum, colon (ascending, transverse, descending, and sigmoid), rectum, and anal canal.
  •  Differences exist in the histology of the jejunum and ileum, including presence of lymphatic tissue and structural features (e.g. plicae circulares) which are related to the function of absorption.
  •  The cecum is a pouch, located in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen.
  •  The colon, with its different parts, connects different sections of the large intestine.
  •  The rectum and anal canal are continuous, retroperitoneal structures.
