What structures exist between mouth and anus? Graphic overview of alimentary canal
What is the oral cavity and what does it do? Graphic overview of …
What is the oral cavity and what does it do? Vestibule: space between cheeks, lips and gums Oral cavity proper:space within floor of mouth and roof (palate) permanent deciduous Ingestion (alternate routes) Mastication = chewingWhich type of digestion? Why?Accomplished via: cheeks, lips, tongue, teeth, jaws Types of teeth:IncisorsCaninesPremolarsMolars
How do you masticate? Teeth embedded in:Alveoli in the Maxilla(upper jaw) & Mandible (lower jaw) Closing jaw =massetertemporalismedial pterygoids Opening jaw =lateral pterygoids
How do you salivate? 3 paired glands:ParotidSubmandibularSublingual Scattered small tubular glands Secrete mucus, serous fluid and enzymes Endocrine or Exocrine?
What can your palate do for you ? Hard and Soft palates Cleft lip/palate:congenital defect where embryonic tissues fail to fuse “Because I was different” by Don Bartlette
How does food get from oral cavity to esophagus? Food formed into a bolus Pushed against hard palate by tongue Initiates swallowing reflex Pharyngeal muscles aid in pushing into esophagus Swallowing (deglutition) divided into 3 phases:1) voluntary2) pharyngeal3) esophageal Which of the pharynxes usually conduct food?
What is the role of the esophagus? Conducting Tube ~ 12” in length 2 sphincters:upper esophageal lower esophageal or cardiac Generalized layers of alimentary canal 4 1 2 3
What is the role of the enteric plexus? Nerve plexus allows local reflexes to be integrated independent of the CNS. Sensory neurons Motor neurons Interneurons 4 1 2 3
