Document Summary

**not responsible for 2. 4 in midterm exam: summarize the general anatomical features of the digestive system. 1. 1 differentiate between the components of the alimentary canal and the accessory digestive organs. 2 main groups of organs: alimentary canal (gastrointestinal tract or gut) Mouth pharynx, esophagus, small intestine, large intestine: accessory digestive organs. Teeth, tongue, gallbladder, salivary glands, liver, pancreas. Describe the relationship between the various digestive organs and the peritoneum. Most digestive organs in abdominopelvic cavity which is lined with slick, friction- reducing serous membranes. Peritoneum is the most extensive of these serous membranes: visceral, parietal, peritoneal. Mesentery fused double layer of parietal peritoneum. Carries blood vessels, lymphatic vessels and nerves to organs of the gi tract: most organs are suspended from the body wall by a dorsal mesentery (back side, rich in adipose tissue. Others, like the pancreas, lose their mesentery during development and come to lie posterior to the peritoneal cavity (retroperitoneal) outside of the cavity.
