•Our friend Carbo is taking a trip from your mouth to your (shall we say?) anus.

•1. Digestive juices are produced by the salivary glands in the mouth.

–The saliva contains _____ that begins to digest starch, a carbohydrate.

• In the small intestine, the pancreas produces pancreatic ______ to further digest carbohydrates.

(a)  

3.

•Our friend Fats (he’s really skinny) is taking a trip from your mouth to your (shall we say?) anus.

•The liver produces ____ and is stored in the gallbladder between meals.

•The abdomen has a moist membrane called the peritoneum.

•The peritoneum has two parts:

–Parietal layer- this lines the back  and front of the abdomen, it adheres to the walls

–Visceral layer- this lines the?

(a)  

7.

Label 1

•Between the parietal and visceral layer of the peritoneum is thee 1._____ cavity

–Increased fluid in this space is called- 2.______ (suggests liver dysfunction)



(a)  

8.

Label 2

•Between the parietal and visceral layer of the peritoneum is thee 1._____ cavity

–Increased fluid in this space is called- 2.______ (suggests liver dysfunction)



(a)  

9.

•If an organ is behind the peritoneum, if it overlaps the organ rather than the wall, we call this _______ (retro = behind)

the pancreas and the kidneys are ______

(a)  

10.

• (a)   peritoneum suspends the GI tract

–Allows for great amount of movement for the intestinal muscles to mix and move it’s content

–Abdominal surgery may cause adhesions, what effect may this have on digestion?

–The liver is suspended by the falciform ligament which attaches to the anterior wall, this is the only organ attached to the anterior abdominal wall

11.

•The (a)   is a folding of the peritoneum

–It contains blood vessels and binds the small intestine to the posterior abdominal wall

12.

• (a)   is a fold OF the peritoneum

–It contains blood vessels and binds the large intestine (colon) to the posterior abdominal wall

13.

•Funnel-shaped tube extending from internal nose to the esophagus (posterior) and larynx (anterior)

(a)  

14.

•Whatever is swallowed goes to the stomach automatically due to esophageal (a)   (misspelled in Stouder's PowerPoint, I spelled it correctly as peristalsis)

15.

• (a)   mechanism: Contents of stomach squeezed between abdominal muscles and diaphragm and forced through the open mouth

16.

• (a)   stenosis

–narrowing of sphincter

–Often indicated by projectile vomiting

17.

•Cystic duct from gallbladder joins common hepatic duct to form the (a)   duct

30.

•Duct of pancreas and bile duct combine to form ____ ______ emptying into the duodenum at the major duodenal papilla

–sphincter of Oddi (hepatopancreatic sphincter) regulates release of bile & pancreatic juice

(a)  

31.

32.

• (a)   released from duodenum in response to arrival of acid and fat

–causes contraction of gallbladder, secretion of pancreatic enzymes, relaxation of hepatopancreatic sphincter

33.

•1._____from stomach & duodenum weakly stimulates gallbladder contraction & pancreatic enzyme secretion

•2._____ released from duodenum in response to acidic chyme

–stimulates all ducts to secrete more bicarbonate. Why?

•Because: HCO3 (bicarbonate) + H becomes H2CO3 which dissociates into H2O + CO2

(LABEL #1)

(a)  

36.

•Inflammation of the appendix due to irritation

–Prolonged inflammation gives symptoms of:
