Chapter 25 Digestive system Functions of Digestive system • I. Alimentary canal Mouth anus • 1) Ingestion • 2) Digestion: mechanical & chemical • 3) Move food through- peristalsis • 4) Absorb nutrient molecules • 5) Excretion of waste (food & waste from liver) • 6) Compaction: dehydration of indigestible materials compacted material: feces. Defecation. Figure 25.1 Components of the Digestive System Salivary Glands Oral Cavity, Teeth, Tongue Mechanical processing, moistening, mixing with salivary secretions Secretion of lubricating fluid containing enzymes that break down carbohydrates Mouth Liver Pharynx Secretion of bile (important for lipid digestion), storage of nutrients, many other vital functions Muscular propulsion of materials into the esophagus Esophagus Transport of materials to the stomach Gallbladder Storage and concentration of bile Stomach Pancreas Chemical breakdown of materials via acid and enzymes; mechanical processing through muscular contractions Exocrine cells secrete buffers and digestive enzymes; endocrine cells secrete hormones Large Intestine Small Intestine Dehydration and compaction of indigestible materials in preparation for elimination Enzymatic digestion and absorption of water, organic substrates, vitamins, and ions Anus II. Layers of Alimentary canal A. Mucosa: mucous membrane layer surrounding lumen. 1) epithelium: glandular epithelial cells, secrete digestive juices & goblet cells that secrete mucus. This changes with the location of the digestive tract. Eg) esophagus: stratified squamous ; stomach: simple columnar with goblet cells; small intestine; simple columnar with microvilli & goblet cells; lg intestine: simple columnar with many goblet cells; rectum: upper half is simple columnar, lower half is stratified squamous. 2) lamina propria (loose CT) w/ capillaries to absorb nutrients has MALT 3) muscularis mucosa- thin smooth muscle layer that has small movements eg) twitch to dislodge sharp food. (Cancer diagnosed if cells break this barrier!) B. Submucosa: Dense irregular CT, allows elasticity. Larger blood vessels, lymph & nerve. C. Muscularis externa: most of tract has 2 smooth muscle layers 1) Inner circular layer – segmentation of food 2) Outer longitudinal layer-peristalsis- food moves down length of GI tract D. Serosa: visceral peritoneum, secretes fluid. This last layer is called adventitia for organs that are retroperitoneal. Adventitia is fibrous CT.

III. Peritoneum - The serosa (visceral peritoneum) is continuous with the parietal peritoneum A. Intraperitoneal organs: Organs are surrounded completely by the visceral peritoneum B. Retroperitoneal organs: Organs are covered by the visceral peritoneum on their anterior surface Retroperitoneal organs are: SAD PUCKER S - Suprarenal (adrenal) gland A - aorta/IVC D - duodenum (second and third part) P - pancreas (except tail) U – ureters C - colon (ascending and descending) K – kidneys E – esophagus R – rectum C. Mesenteries: fused double sheets of peritoneal membrane which carry blood vessels to intestines - Omentum: specialized to store fat/ cushion -Greater omentum: greater curvature of stomach over intestines -Lesser omentum: lesser curvature of stomach to liver Figure 25.4b Mesenteries Falciform ligament Diaphragm Liver Lesser omentum Pancreas Duodenum Mesentery proper Stomach Transverse mesocolon Transverse colon Greater omentum Sigmoid mesocolon Rectum Urinary bladder Parietal peritoneum Small intestine Uterus Mesenteries of the abdominopelvic cavity, as seen in a diagrammatic sagittal section Figure 25.10 Anatomy of the Stomach (3 of 5) Mesenteries of the Stomach Lesser curvature (medial surface) Retractor Esophagus Lesser Omentum Diaphragm The lesser omentum lies between the stomach and proximal duodenum and the liver.

IV. Alimentary Canal/ Gastrointestinal tract A. Mouth 1. Tongue: skeletal muscle, lingual frenulum, hyoid bone a) Papillae (contain taste buds. Gustatroy cells (chemorectptors) found within taste buds) 1. filiform - Rough. Most numerous. No taste buds- for mechanical breakdown of food. 2. fungiform- mushroom like, taste buds 3. vallate (circumvallate) large, 10-12 on the posterior 1/3 of tongue Some taste buds also found on hard palate, epiglottis, & pharynx. b) Lingual tonsils: at base of tongue- posterior to vallate papillae c) saliva: amylase, lipase (produced by glands of tongue), histatins : wound healing d) bolus: chewed food mixed with saliva © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
