Gastroenterology
• The medical specialty that studies the
anatomy and physiology of the
gastrointestinal system and uses
diagnostic tests, medical and surgical
procedures, and drugs to treat
gastrointestinal diseases.

Anatomy and Physiology
• Gastrointestinal System
– Begins at the mouth, continues through the
thoracic cavity, and fills most of the abdominal
cavity
– Upper gastrointestinal system includes the
structures from the mouth through the
stomach

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal
System
• Oral Cavity and Pharynx
– Begins in the mouth, or oral cavity
– Oral cavity contains the teeth; tongue; hard
palate; and soft palate with its fleshy, hanging
uvula.
– Receptors on the tongue perceive taste and
send this information to the gustatory cortex in
the brain.

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal
System (con't)
• Oral Cavity and Pharynx (con’t)
– Lined with mucosa, a mucous membrane that
produces thin mucus.
– The sight, smell, and taste of food cause the
salivary glands to release saliva into the
mouth; this moistens foods as they are
chewed and swallowed.
– Saliva also contains an enzyme that begins
the process of digestion.

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal
System (con't)
• Oral Cavity and Pharynx (con’t)
– There are three pairs of salivary glands: the
parotid glands, the sublingual glands, and the
submandibular glands.
– The teeth tear, chew, and grind the food
during the process of mastication.
– The tongue moves food toward the teeth and
mixes food with saliva.

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal
System (con't)
• Oral Cavity and Pharynx (con’t)
– Swallowing or deglutition moves food into the
throat or pharynx.
– When food is swallowed, the epiglottis closes
the entrance to the larynx, so that food in the
back of the throat, pressing on the uvula,
does not initiate the gag reflex.

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal
System (con't)
• Esophagus
– A flexible, muscular tube that connects the
pharynx to the stomach.
– Lined with mucosa that produces mucus.
– By coordinated contractions of its wall—the
process of peristalsis—food moves toward the
stomach.

System (con't)
• Stomach
– A large, elongated sac in the upper abdominal
cavity that receives food from the esophagus.
– Divided into four areas: the cardia, fundus,
body, and pylorus.
– The gastric mucosa is arranged in thick, deep
folds known as rugae which expand as the
stomach fills with food.

– The mucosa produces mucus that protects
the lining of the stomach from the acid the
stomach produces.
– Two sphincters (muscular rings) keep food in
the stomach.
– The lower esophageal sphincter is located in
the distal esophagus.

– The small intestine is a long, hollow tube that
receives chyme from the stomach.

jejunum, and ileum.

System (con't)
• Large Intestine
– A larger, hollow tube that receives undigested
material and water from the small intestine.
– Consists of the cecum, colon, rectum, and
anus.
– The walls contain haustra (puckered pouches)
that can greatly expand, as needed.

• Large Intestine (con’t)
– Waves of peristalsis slowly move undigested
material through the large intestine as water is
absorbed through the intestinal wall and into
the blood.
– The colon is the longest part.
– It travels through all four quadrants of the
abdomen as the ascending colon, transverse
colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.

– The sigmoid colon bends toward the midline
in an S-shaped curve that joins the rectum.
– The rectum is a short, straight segment that
connects to the outside of the body.
– The anus, the external opening of the rectum,
is located between the buttocks.
– The anal sphincter is a muscular ring whose
opening and closing is under conscious,
voluntary control.

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal
System (con't)
• Abdomen and Abdominopelvic Cavity
– Contains the largest organs of the
gastrointestinal system.
– The walls of the abdominopelvic cavity are
lined by peritoneum, a membrane that
secretes peritoneal fluid.
– This watery fluid fills the spaces between the
organs and allows them to slide past each
other during the movements of digestion.

(con’t)
– The peritoneum extends into the center of the
abdominopelvic cavity as the omentum.
– The omentum supports the stomach and
hangs down as a fatty apron to cover and
protect the small intestine.
– The peritoneum also extends as the
mesentery, a thick, fan-shaped sheet that
supports the jejunum and ileum.

– The liver is the largest solid organ in the body,
located in the upper right abdominal cavity.
– An accessory organ of digestion that
contributes to, but is not physically involved
in, the process of digestion.
– Liver cells (hepatocytes) continuously
produce bile, a yellow-green, bitter-tasting,
thick fluid.

– Bile produced by the liver flows through the
hepatic ducts, through the common hepatic
duct, and then into either the cystic duct to the
gallbladder or the common bile duct.
– All of the ducts that carry bile are collectively
known as the biliary tree.

• Gallbladder
– An accessory organ of digestion posterior to
the liver.

causes the gallbladder to contract, sending
bile into the common bile duct and duodenum
to digest fats.

– An accessory organ of digestion posterior to
the stomach.
– Presence of food in the duodenum causes the
pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes into
the pancreatic duct to the duodenum.
– Also functions as an organ of the endocrine
system.

Physiology of Digestion
• There are two parts to digestion:
– Mechanical
– Chemical
• Mechanical digestion uses mastication,
deglutition, and peristalsis to break down
foods.
• Mechanical digestion also involves
breaking apart fats in the duodenum.
Medical Language, Second Edition

Physiology of Digestion (con't)
• Fatty chyme stimulates the duodenum to
secrete the hormone cholecystokinin,
which stimulates the gallbladder to
contract and release bile.
• Bile breaks apart large globules of fat
during the process of emulsification.
• Chemical digestion uses enzymes and
acid to break down foods.

Physiology of Digestion (con't)
• The enzyme amylase in saliva begins to

mouth.
• The stomach secretes the following
substances that continue the process of

– Gastrin

Physiology of Digestion (con't)
• The stomach secretes a substance known
as intrinsic factor, which helps vitamin B12
be absorbed from the intestine into the
blood.
• When the stomach does not produce
enough intrinsic factor, vitamin B12 is not
absorbed.

Physiology of Digestion (con't)
• The liver plays an important role in
regulating nutrients such as glucose and
amino acids.
• Excess glucose in the blood is stored in
the liver as glycogen and released when
the blood glucose level is low.
• The liver uses amino acids to build plasma
proteins and clotting factors for the blood.

the body in a solid waste form of feces or
