notes on physiology of digestive system
Be able to name the major organs of the
digestive system, the major types of tissues found in each, the
membranes associated with each, and give the functions of each.
The view below illustrates the relative length of each portion and the tube-within-a -tube configuration.
At the junction of the stomach, the epithelium
abruptly changes to simple columnar. Within the deeper layers of the
mucosa, are many glandular cells. The outer membrane is the serosa,
which is composed of simple squamous epithelium and connective tissue.
What are the digestive contributions of the pancreas?
What are the endocrine functions, and how are they related to digestive
processes?
Be able to identify the four lobes of the liver, and give the functions of the liver and gall bladder.
Explain the functions of each cell type within the
lobules. Lining the sinusoids are monocytes, which are called Kupffer
cells or stellate reticuloendothelial cells (stellate = star shaped;
reticulo = framework; endothelial = line the inner cavity).
From looking at these drawings, what would you guess constitutes a hepatic triad?
Note that the covering of the abdominal viscera
(visceral peritoneum) is continuous with the lining of the abdominal
wall (parietal peritoneum). However, each region has a different name.
The portion of the mesentery between the liver and stomach is the Lesser
omentum, and the portion supporting the colon is the mesocolon.
Midsagittal view.
Frontal view of greater omentum.
Note modification of internal surface area of
intestines by folds, villi, and microvilli. Each modification of the
internal surface of stomach and intestines increases surface area for
both secretion of enzymes, water, mucus, etc., and for absorption of
nutrients, which must be broken down into their molecular building
blocks.

The plicae are found within the walls of the jejunum,
the middle portion of the small intestine. These folds subdivide the
intestine into segments. Segmental digestive movements of chyme occur
when the remnants of food and digestive juices are mixed back and forth
within these intestinal "segments."
The lining of the ileum (not shown) lacks plicae and
villi. An ileocecal valve controls entry into the colon. The vermiform
appendix is a vestigial portion of the cecum, found in humans,
chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.
The tenia coli are three remnants of longitudinal muscles.
The muscular layer below is made up of a circular layer only.
Goblet cells secrete mucus.
