Study Notes

Main Objectives

Understand the key functions and components of the digestive system.
Identify the primary structures involved in digestion.
Differentiate between essential and accessory organs related to digestion.

Functions of the Digestive System

Breakdown of food through mechanical and chemical processes.
Absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream for energy and growth.
Elimination of waste products from the body.

Principle Structures of the Oral Cavity

Includes the lips, cheeks, tongue, gums, and palate.
Contains teeth which aid in the mechanical breakdown of food.
Salivary glands in the oral cavity produce enzymes aiding digestion.

Epithelial Lining of the Oral Cavity

Divided into two main types:
- Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, found in areas subject to friction (e.g., gums, hard palate).
- Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, found in more flexible areas (e.g., inner cheeks, underside of the tongue).

Accessory Organs of the Digestive System

Includes the salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder.
Play crucial roles in producing digestive enzymes and bile essential for digestion.
