TONGUE FLOOR OF THE ORAL CAVITY FUNCTION: (1) Assist in chewing and swallowing (2) Sensory (3) Taste receptors (4) Mechanical processing important for speech Innervation: Anterior 2/3 general sensation – lingual branch CN V (Trigeminal Nerve) Anterior (taste) – chorda tympani of CN VII (Facial Nerve) Posterior 2/3 both taste and sensation – glossopharyngeal nerve MOTOR – CN XII (hypoglossal nerve) Blood Supply: lingual branch of the external carotid artery SALIVARY GLANDS PAROTID GLAND Largest, below external auditory meatus and behind ramus of mandible, anterior of SCM. Produces more water secretion of enzymes Nerve: Parasympathetic - glossopharyngeal SUBLINGUAL GLAND Beneath the tongue, superior to submandibular glands; produces mucus rich saliva SUBMANDIBULAR GLAND Floor of oral cavity; produces mixed (mucus & enzymes) Nerve (both submandibular and sublingual) parasympathetic, facial nerve SALIVA – lubrication Salivary amylase – initial digestion of starch 99.5% water, 0.5% solutes – Na+, K+, Bicarbonate, chloride, phosphate Lysozyme – bacteriolytic enzyme *** Formation of bolus Pharynx Musculofascial tube, incomplete anteriorly Area behind the nasal and oral cavities and the larynx Funnel shaped space ending at the level of the 6th cervical vertebra Acts as a common entrance to the respiratory and alimentary tracts Pharynx Arterial supply: superior thyroid and ascending pharyngeal branches of the external carotid Innervated by: CN IX (glossopharyngeal) - sensory CN X (vagus) – motor Nasopharynx* - sensory from maxillary division of CN V Pharynx a. Nasopharynx Communicates anteriorly with the nasal cavities through the posterior nares, and lies above soft palate Location of the opening of the Pharyngo-tympanic or Eustachian tubes Prevents regurgitation of food through the nose b. Oropharynx Lies behind mouth and tongue; Segment between the palate (uvula) above and the hyoid bone (tip of epiglottis below) c. Laryngopharynx Narrowest part of the pharynx, lies behind the larynx From the tip of the epiglottis to the termination of the pharynx in the esophagus at the level of C6 This material was prepared by Mary Rose C. Gonzales for OTPT 102 students of the College of Allied Medical Professions, UP Manila. July 2010. Edited by CVIsaac July 2011. Please obtain permission before use. Describe the position of the esophagus from the larynx Esophagus Starts from cricoid cartilage (at vertebral level C6) and ends at the gastroesophageal (GE) junction pierces the diaphragm through the esophageal hiatus (at vertebral level T10) upper 5% of the esophagus consists of skeletal muscle only; middle 45% of the esophagus consists of both skeletal muscle and smooth muscle interwoven together; and the distal 50% of the esophagus consists of smooth muscle only FUNCTION: propels the swallowed food into the stomach Anteriorly – trachea, arch of the aorta, the left bronchus and the left atrium Posteriorly – 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae Blood supply: inferior thyroid artery, branches of the descending thoracic aorta and the left gastric artery; inferior thyroid veins and azygos vein Innervation: Somatic – C1 and hypoglossal nerve (upper part only); vagus and sympathetic trunks via the esophageal plexus Esophagus Composed of two sphincters: FUNCTION: prevent air from entering the upper esophagus and gastric acid from entering the lower esophagus Upper Esophageal Sphincter (UES) - skeletal muscle (Voluntary control) that separates the pharynx from the esophagus Opening muscles (i.e., thyrohyoid and geniohyoid muscles) and closing muscles (i.e., inferior pharyngeal constrictor and cricopharyngeus) Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) - smooth muscle (Involuntary control) that separates the esophagus from the stomach The LES prevents GE reflux. As part of the swallowing reflex, the upper esophageal sphincter relaxes to permit swallowed food to enter the esophagus. The upper esophageal sphincter then contracts so that food will not reflux into the pharynx. A primary peristaltic contraction creates an area of high pressure behind the food bolus. The peristaltic contraction moves down the esophagus and propels the food bolus along. Gravity only accelerates the movement. (NOTE: The reason why swallowing persists despite a person being upside-down) A secondary peristaltic contraction clears the esophagus of any remaining food. As the food bolus approaches the lower end of the esophagus, the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes. Esophagus Gastro-esophageal Junction 50° angulation to the left that prevents regurgitation together with the lower esophageal sphincter Act as valve This material was prepared by Mary Rose C.

Innervation: Vagal fibers, Enteric Nervous System (myenteric plexus) STOMACH Intraperitoneal, J-shaped, between T7 and L3 vertebrae, variable in size, and projects to the left 4 Regions: Cardia – the superior orifice; junction between stomach and esophagus (close proximity to heart) Fundus – superior to gastroesophageal junction, contacts the diaphragm Body – both fundus and proximal body receive the ingested meal (orad region) Pylorus – inferior orifice; distal part of the stomach Pyloric Antrum – wide part, together with distal body start point of contraction – mix food and propel into the duodenum Pyloric canal – narrow part, connects to duodenum Pyloric sphincter – prevents reflux of duodenal contents into stomach 2 Curvatures: short lesser curvature, and long greater curvature Rugae – prominent longitudinal folds inside the stomach, permits expansion of gastric lumen Has extraoblique muscle layer – for mixing and churning SHORT INTESTINES Occupies all abdominal regions (except left hypochondriac and epigastric regions) Averages 6 m (20 ft) in length (range, 5.0–8.3 m [5– 25 ft]) and has a diameter ranging from 4 cm (1.6 in.) at the stomach to about 2.5 cm (1 in.) at the junction with the large intestine FUNCTION: primary role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients (90% OF NUTRIENT ABSORPTION), the rest occurs in the proximal portion of large intestine 3 subdivisions: Duodenum Jejunum Ileum Intestinal villi – series of fingerlike projections in the mucosa of small intestine Microvilli – “brush border” covers the epithelial cells BOTH improve total absorption area from 0.33m2 to 200m2 Functional movement: segmentation – back and forth movement to mix intestinal content Duodenum First, widest, shortest and most fixed segment of the small intestines curves in a C around the head of the pancreas; also overlapped by the liver and gallbladder “mixing bowl” that receives chyme from the stomach and digestive secretions from the pancreas and liver receives the common bile duct and main pancreatic duct on its posterior/medial wall at the hepatopancreatic ampulla (ampulla of Vater) Blood Supply: Superior Mesenteric Artery Duodenum Gall bladder (cystic duct) + liver (common hepatic duct) – common bile duct Common bile duct from the liver and gallbladder and the pancreatic duct (duct of Wirsung) from the pancreas come together at a muscular chamber called the duodenal ampulla (ampulla of Vater) Duodenal papilla – opening where the ampulla of Vater is connected, closed by sphincter of Oddi Jejunum Duodenojejunal flexure Marks the boundary between the duodenum and the jejunum At this junction the small intestine reenters the peritoneal cavity, becoming intraperitoneal and supported by a sheet of mesentery. The jejunum is about 2.5 m (8 ft) long. The bulk of chemical digestion and nutrient absorption occurs in the jejunum Ileum Intraperitoneal Third and last segment of the small intestine, longest, averaging 3.5 m (12 ft) in length *Site of Vitamin B12 absorption Ileocecal valve – ending of ileum, controls the flow of materials from the ileum into the cecum of the large intestine Gastroileac reflex: The presence of food in the stomach triggers increased peristalsis in the ileum and relaxation of the ileocecal sphincter. As a result, the intestinal contents are delivered to the large intestine Lower Gastrointestinal Tract 1. Jejunum 2. Ileum 3. Colon This material was prepared by Mary Rose C. Gonzales for OTPT 102 students of the College of Allied Medical Professions, UP Manila. July 2010. Edited by CVIsaac July 2011. Please obtain permission before use.
