Digestive System Functions Review 3: Salivary Glands through Pancreas

These secrete saliva (watery secretion that contains mucus (a protein lubricant) and salivary amylase (starch-digesting enzyme) into the oral cavity).  They exist in pairs.

• Small Intestines 
• Large Intestines 
• Pancreas 
• Salivary Glands 

These are salivary glands located just anterior to the ears.

• Parotid ducts 
• Parotid glands 
• Submandibular glands 
• Sublingual glands 

These are salivary glands located just medial to the mandible on each side of the face.

• Parotid ducts 
• Parotid glands 
• Submandibular glands 
• Sublingual glands 

These are salivary glands located inferior to the tongue.

• Parotid ducts 
• Parotid glands 
• Submandibular glands 
• Sublingual glands 

These are tubes that transverses the buccal (cheek) region and enters the oral cavity just posterior to the upper second molar.  They secretes saliva from the parotid gland.

• Parotid ducts 
• Submandibular gland 
• Submandibular ducts 
• Sublingual ducts 

These are tubes that secrete saliva into the oral cavity on each side of the oral cavity inferior
to the tongue.

• Parotid ducts 
• Submandibular gland 
• Submandibular ducts 
• Sublingual ducts 

These are tubes that secrete saliva into the oral cavity from the sublingual gland.

• Parotid ducts 
• Submandibular gland 
• Submandibular ducts 
• Sublingual ducts 

This is located near the junction of the small and large intestines.  It is very small and is a vestigial structure.

• Cecum
• Vermiform appendix 
• Coelom
• Colon 

This is a section of peritoneum that originates between the stomach and transverse colon and drapes over the intestines as a fatty apron.

• Mesentary 
• Vermiform appendix 
• Greater Omentum
• Lesser Omentum  

This is an extension of the peritoneum that forms a double fold of tissue between the stomach and liver.

• Mesentary 
• Vermiform appendix 
• Greater Omentum
• Lesser Omentum
