II- Pharynx
- Consists of Orphasynx, where swallowed food enters.
- Proceeds down pharynx into laryngopharynx.
- Epiglottis covers larynx and trachea to shunt food away from lungs and into esophagus.
III- Esophagus
- Long muscular tube that pushes food by wavelike muscular movements (peristalsis) to the stomach.
IV- Stomach
- J-shaped muscular organ that mixes food with gastric juice (hydrochloric acid (HCI)) to form chyme (watery mix).
- Parts include: Fundus, Body (with rugae), Antrum, Cardiac/Lower Esophageal Sphincter, Pyloric Sphincter
Combining Forms (Esophagus, Pharynx, Stomach)
- Esophag/o: Esophagus
- Pharyng/o: Pharynx (throat)
- Gastr/o: Stomach
- Pylor/o: Pylorus
- Related examples: Esophag/o/scope, Pharyng/o/tonsill/itis, Gastr/o/scopy, Pylor/o/tomy
V- Small Intestine
- Begins at pyloric sphincter and ends at the colon.
- Site of food absorption
- Divided into: Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum
Combining Forms (Small Intestine)
- Enter/o: Small intestine
- Duoden/o: Duodenum
- Jejun/o: Jejunum
- Ile/o: Ileum
- Examples: Enter/o/pathy, Duoden/o/scopy, Jejun/o/rrhaphy, Ile/o/stomy
VI- Colon Regions
- Includes the cecum, appendix, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus
- Function: Final stages of digestion and water absorption
Combining Forms (Colon Regions)
- Append/o: Appendix
- Appendic/o: Appendix
- Col/o, Colon/o: Colon
- Rect/o: Rectum
- Proct/o: Anus
- Sigmoid/o: Sigmoid Colon
- Examples: Append/ectomy, Appendic/itis, Col/o/stomy, Colon/o/scopy, Rect/o/cele, proct/o/logist, Sigmoid/o/scope
