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.
