TOPIC 15: DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
A) Digestive System: Overview
includes:
1) Gastrointestinal (GI) tract figure 23.1
tube from mouth to anus
everything needs to pass through the epithelial lining
2) Accessory organs (how you break down the material to get through easier)
teeth, tongue, salivary glands
pancreas
liver, gall bladder
digestive system processes: figure 23.2
1) Ingestion
food into oral cavity
2) Digestion
large molecules broken down into smaller molecules
2 types:
a) mechanical
motility(moving things along) e.g. chewing
b) chemical
enzymes(aids in the break down of phons) + acid secretions
3) Absorption
end products of digestion enter blood or lymph
4) Defecation
elimination of undigested material (poop)
B) Gastrointestinal Tract Histology
4 basic layers:
1) Mucosa figure 23.5
3 layers:
a) epithelium with numerous goblet cells
stratified squamous: mouth, pharynx, esophagus, anal canal
simple columnar: stomach, small + large intestines, rectum
food can be quite abrasive (scratchy) – you want to make sure that
you have multiple layers
b) lamina propria = areolar CT
contains blood, lymph vessels, lymph nodules/tissues (immune)
c) muscularis mucosa
smooth muscle - allows movement of mucosa

2) Submucosa
areolar CT
contains: blood + lymphatic vessels, submucosal nerve plexus(always mean
network)
3) Muscularis Externa
smooth muscle
inner circular layer
outer longitudinal layer
myenteric nerve plexus between layers
contractions cause motility (mixing + movement)
4) Serosa (or adventitia)
• cavity = lumen (contains the foods that we digested)
C) Digestive System: Structures
1) Oral Cavity: figure 23.8
includes:
a) lips
b) cheeks
c) palate
i. hard palate
2 maxillae + 2 palatine bones
ii. soft palate (posterior to hard palate)
skeletal muscle
posterior projection = uvula
rises to close the nasopharynx when swallowing
d) tongue
attached to hyoid bone
skeletal muscle
projections of mucosa = papillae (taste buds)
2) Salivary Glands:
3 pairs: figure 28.10
a) parotid
inferior and anterior to ears
mumps = inflammation of 1 or both parotids
b) submandibular
floor of mouth
c) sublingual
below tongue on floor of mouth
saliva

o 99.5% water
o 0.5% solutes (e.g. enzymes)
3) Dentition (teeth):
in maxillae and mandible
child dentition
o primary dentition – deiduous ay teeth (think dedication = baby dedication)
adult dentition
o secondary dentition – permanent teeth

Tooth Structure: figure 23.12
a) crown
above the gum
dentin = majority of tooth
enamel overlay = acellular, highly calcified – hard!
b) root
dentin + cementum overlay
NOTE: dentin, enamel, & cementum = similar to bone, but avascular
c) neck
enamel + cementumeet = youre ow eetig it together
boundary (gums)
you thik that the tooth is gettig loger ut youre really just seeig ore
of it as you get older
d) periodontal ligaments
attach root to bones
e) root canal extends to pulp cavity
contains CT, blood/lymph vessels, and nerves
4) Oropharynx and Laryngopharynx:
only muscularis externa (skeletal muscle) and stratified squamous epithelium
