‭LECTURE NOTE UNIT 1 (pg. 53)‬ ‭‬ ‭DIGESTIVE SYSTEM (pg. 1)‬ ‭○‬ ‭Explain the following processes:‬ ‭‬ ‭Mastication -‬‭the process of chewing food in the oral‬‭cavity.‬ ‭‬ ‭Deglutition-‬‭the process of swallowing food.‬ ‭‬ ‭Buccal Phase‬‭- compression of the bolus against the‬‭hard palate. Tongue retraction‬ ‭forces the bolus into the oropharynx.‬ ‭‬ ‭Pharyngeal Phase‬‭- bolus contacts palatal arches and‬‭posterior pharyngeal wall. The‬ ‭larynx elevates, the epiglottis folds, and the bolus passes the closed glottis.‬ ‭‬ ‭Esophageal Phase‬‭: Pharyngeal muscles push the bolus into the esophagus, and‬ ‭peristaltic waves move it toward the stomach.‬ ‭‬ ‭Include the organs and nerves that are involved.‬ ‭‬ ‭Mastication‬ ‭○‬ ‭Organs - teeth, tongue, salivary glands, muscles of mastication‬ ‭○‬ ‭Nerves - trigeminal nerve (V)‬ ‭‬ ‭Deglutition‬ ‭○‬ ‭Organs - pharynx, esophagus‬ ‭○‬ ‭Nerves - glossopharyngeal nerve (IX), vagus nerve (X), trigeminal nerve (V),‬ ‭hypoglossal nerve (XII)‬ ‭○‬ ‭Name the structures of the actual GI tract (alimentary canal) from mouth to anus.‬ ‭‬ ‭Oral cavity (mouth)‬ ‭‬ ‭Pharynx‬ ‭‬ ‭Esophagus‬ ‭‬ ‭Stomach‬ ‭‬ ‭Small intestines‬ ‭‬ ‭Large intestines‬ ‭‬ ‭Anus‬ ‭○‬ ‭Name the accessory digestive organs and their basic functions.‬ ‭‬ ‭Teeth‬ ‭‬ ‭Tongue‬ ‭‬ ‭Salivary glands‬ ‭‬ ‭Pancreas‬ ‭‬ ‭Liver‬ ‭‬ ‭Gall bladder‬ ‭○‬ ‭Describe peritoneum.‬ ‭‬ ‭What types of tissues are found in the peritoneum?‬ ‭‬ ‭Mesothelium‬‭: A layer of flat epithelial cells that‬‭produce peritoneal fluid, reducing‬ ‭friction between moving organs.‬ ‭‬ ‭Areolar Tissue‬‭: A supportive connective tissue that‬‭stabilizes the mesothelium and‬ ‭facilitates the passage of essential vessels and nerves.‬ ‭‬ ‭What does it mean to say that an organ is intraperitoneal?‬ ‭‬ ‭Those that are completely surrounded by the visceral peritoneum and are suspended‬ ‭within the peritoneal cavity by mesenteries.‬ ‭‬ ‭Is the peritoneum a serous membrane?
