Study Notes
Digestive System Components
- The digestive system consists of:
- Alimentary canal (mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, anus)
- Accessory organs (salivary glands, liver, pancreas, gallbladder)
Functions of the Digestive System
- General functions:
- Ingestion
- Gastrin stimulates parietal cells to secrete HCl and ECL cells to secrete histamine, which stimulates HCl secretion
- Gastrin also increases gastric motility and promotes the growth of gastric mucosa
Intestinal Phase
- Enterogastric reflex:
- Triggered by the presence of chyme in the duodenum, especially if it's acidic, fatty, or hyperosmotic
- Stretch receptors and chemoreceptors in the duodenum initiate this reflex
- Inhibits gastric secretion and motility, and tightens the pyloric sphincter
- Slows gastric emptying, preventing overloading of the duodenum
- Hormonal mechanisms:
- Cholecystokinin (CCK) is secreted by the duodenum in response to fats and proteins in chyme
- Inhibits gastric secretion and motility, and stimulates the secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile
- Secretin is secreted by the duodenum in response to acidic chyme
- Stimulates the secretion of pancreatic bicarbonate to neutralize the acid
- Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) is secreted by the duodenum in response to glucose and fat
- Inhibits gastric secretion and motility
- Cholecystokinin (CCK) is secreted by the duodenum in response to fats and proteins in chyme
Absorption Mechanisms
- Water:
- Absorbed by osmosis, following the absorption of solutes like carbohydrates and amino acids
- Glycerol from lipids and certain amino acids can be converted into glucose (gluconeogenesis)
- Acetyl-CoA from lipids and certain amino acids can be used to produce ketone bodies
- The liver is the central hub for regulating the metabolism of all three macronutrients
- Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins:
- Absorbed through different mechanisms in the small intestine
Absorptive vs. Post-Absorptive Metabolism
- Absorptive Metabolism:
- Occurs after a meal when nutrients are being absorbed from the digestive tract
- Characterized by high blood glucose, amino acids, and lipids
- Insulin is the dominant hormone, promoting uptake and storage of nutrients
- Glycogenesis, lipogenesis, and protein synthesis are favored
- The body is in an anabolic state, building and storing energy reserves
- Post-Absorptive Metabolism:
- Occurs between meals or during fasting when no nutrients are being absorbed
- Characterized by low blood glucose, amino acids, and lipids
- Glucagon is the dominant hormone, promoting the breakdown and release of stored nutrients
- Glycogenolysis, lipolysis, and protein breakdown are favored
- The body is in a catabolic state, breaking down energy reserves for fuel
Mouth Structure
- Tongue:
- Attached to the floor of the mouth by the lingual frenulum
- Extrinsic tongue muscles:
- Hyoglossus: attaches the tongue to the hyoid bone
- Genioglossus: runs from the chin to the tongue, supporting and moving the tongue
- Styloglossus: originates from the styloid process of the temporal bone and inserts into the tongue
- Papillae:
- Small, bump-like projections on the surface of the tongue that contain taste buds and help with the manipulation of food
- Four types of papillae: vallate, foliate, fungiform, and filiform
Salivary Glands
- Exocrine glands that produce and secrete saliva into the oral cavity
- Three main pairs of salivary glands:
- Parotid salivary glands:
- Located anterior to the ears and deep to the skin
- Secrete saliva through ducts that open near the upper second molars
- Submandibular salivary glands:
- Located beneath the mandible
- Ducts open under the tongue, near the lingual frenulum
- Sublingual salivary glands:
- Smallest salivary glands
- Located beneath the tongue
- Parotid salivary glands:
Tooth Structure
- Pulp cavity:
- Hollow space within the center of the tooth that contains the pulp, which consists of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue
- Extends from the crown to the root
- Root canal:
- Portion of the pulp cavity that extends through the root of the tooth
- Contains the nerve and blood supply for the tooth
- Apical foramen:
- Opening at the tip of the root through which the nerves and blood vessels enter and exit the pulp cavity
Teeth
- Permanent teeth (also known as Adult Teeth):
- Second set of teeth that replace the primary (deciduous) teeth
- 32 permanent teeth in total, with 16 in each jaw
- Types of permanent teeth:
- Incisors (lateral & central): four front teeth in each jaw, used for cutting and biting
- Cuspids (canines): pointed teeth next to the incisors, used for tearing and gripping food
- Premolars (bicuspids): teeth behind the cuspids, used for grinding and crushing food
- Molars: large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth, used for grinding and chewing food
Dental Formula
- Represents the number and types of teeth in each quadrant of the mouth
- For permanent teeth, the dental formula for one quadrant is: 2:1:2:3 (2 incisors: 1 canine: 2 premolars: 3 molars)
