Opens and closes to allow food in and out of body
Sphincters
Connection between the trachea and esophagus
Tracheoesophageal fistula
Increases surface area in stomach
Rugae
Chemical and mechanical digestion occurs here
Stomach
Gastric pits secrete
Mucus, pepsin, and hydrochloric acid
3 parts of small intestine
Duodenum, jejunum, ileum

3 places mechanical digestion occurs
Mouth, stomach, small intestine
Made in the walls of the small intestine
Intestinal juice
Mixture of enzymes and acids that chemically breakdown proteins

Holds the tongue to the floor of the mouth
Lingual frenulum
Carbs are digested in
Mouth
Proteins are digested in
Stomach
Lipids are digested in
Small intestine
3 types of muscles
Smooth, striated, cardiac
Secretion from the salivary glands
Saliva
Helps push food down to the back of the mouth
Tongue
Chief cells produce
Pepsin
Parietal cells produce
Hydrochloric acid
Prevents the stomach from digesting itself
Mucus
Chronic seepage of stomach acid into the esophagus
Acid reflux
Occasional acid burning of esophagus
Heartburn
Inflammation of the gums
Gingivitis
Inflammation of tissue around tooth
Periodontitis
Caused by obesity, hypertension, pregnancy, or strain during bowel movements
Hemorrhoids
Lymph Nodes of the Oral Cavity
Tonsils

Colon
Crystallization of cholesterol in gallbladder
Gallstones
Helps to prevent infection
Lymph nodes
2 types of sphincters in the stomach+location
Cardiac/gastrosophageal (start) and pyloric (end)
In pharynx; prevents from entering the lung
Epiglottis
Scaring of tissue by acid
Ulcer
Improper formation of lip/palate during fetal development
Cleft lip/palate
Study of the structure and shape of the body
Anatomy
Anatomy with large, visible structures
Gross Anatomy
Anatomy studied with a magnifying instrument
Microscopic Anatomy
Study of how body parts function/work
Physiology
Structure often determines
Function
Anatomical position
body erect, feet together, palms facing forward
Allows medical personnel to talk about specific areas of the body
Surface/regional landmarks
Organization of life from smallest to biggest
Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms
Life function that provides the body with energy
Respiration
Life function that forms bigger things from smaller things using bonds
Synthesis
Life function that circulates and absorbs things
Transport
Life function that produces offspring
Reproduction
Life function that allows us to lose weight from heat and calories
Assimilation
Life process by which living things take in materials from its environment for growth and repair
Nutrition
Life function that allows organisms to grow
Growth
Life function that gets rid of liquid and gaseous waste
Excretion
Life function that maintains homeostasis
Regulation
Life function that works with the digestive system most closely
Nutrition
2 types of intestinal parasites
Tape worms, roundworms
Two types of hernias and the gender they are more common in
Umbilical-females Inguinal-males
Inferior part of the colon
Caecum
Vestigial organ of the digestive system
Appendix
Formation of pockets in the colon
Diverticulitis
Surgery that allows people to have a colostomy bag
Colostomy
Ulcers in the anus
Anorectal ulcer
2 places where fat is stored+location
Greater omentum-stretches over small intestine lesser omentum-stretches from stomach to liver
