Study Notes

Digestive System

Mouth

  • The teeth are arranged in 2 arches: superior and inferior
  • Deciduous teeth: 20 teeth, each arch consists of 10: 4 incisors, 2 canines, and 4 molars
  • Permanent teeth: 32 teeth, each arch consists of 16: 4 incisors, 2 canines, 4 premolars, and 6 molars

Salivary Glands

  • 3 pairs of salivary glands: parotid, submandibular, and sublingual
  • Parotid glands: located on the side of the face
  • Submandibular glands: located beneath the lower jaw
  • Sublingual glands: located inferior to the tongue

Pharynx

  • Divided into three parts: nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx
  • Nasopharynx: upper part of the pharynx
  • Oropharynx: middle part of the pharynx, connects to the mouth
  • Hypopharynx: lower part of the pharynx
  • Epiglottis: controls the flow of air and food

Esophagus

  • Muscular tube, approximately 25cm in length
  • Extends from the pharynx to the stomach, passing through an opening in the diaphragm

Stomach

  • J-shaped, expanded bag, located just left of the midline
  • Divided into four regions: cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus
  • Cardia: where the esophagus enters the stomach
  • Fundus: superior, dilated portion below the left dome of the diaphragm
  • Body: largest section of the stomach
  • Pylorus: opens to the duodenum
  • Inner surface: contracted into numerous longitudinal folds called rugae
