bile canaliculi

small ducts between hepatocytes that collect bile

epiloic (omental) appendages

small, fat filled pouches of visceral periotneum that hang from the surface of the large intestine

peritoneal cavity

space between the parietal and visceral peritoneum; contains serous fluid

anabolic reactions (synthesis)

synthesis of larger molecules from smaller ones

sucrose

table sugar; glucose + fructose

deglutition

the act of swallowing

Nitrogen balance

the amount of nitrogen consumed compared with the amount excreted in a given time period

oropharynx

the area directly posterior to the mouth

cellular respiration (aerobic respiration)

the breakdown of organic molecules within the cell when oxygen is present

cecum

the cavity in which the large intestine begins and into which the ileum opens

oral cavity (buccal cavity)

the cavity within the mouth

Chylomicrons

the class of lipoproteins that transport lipids from the intestinal cells to the rest of the body, especially adipose tissue

metabolism

the combination of chemical reactions through which an organism builds up or breaks down materials

pylorus

the distal narrow passage that connects the stomach with the small intestine

duodenum

the first part of the small intestine immediately beyond the stomach, leading to the jejunum; approximately 10" in length

rugae

the folds in the mucosa lining the stomach

glucose

the form of sugar that circulates in the blood and provides the major source of energy for body tissues. When its level is low, we feel hunger. Used by cells to produce ATP.

visceral peritoneum

the inner layer of the peritoneum that surrounds the organs of the abdominal cavity

pharynx

the membrane-lined cavity behind the nose and mouth, connecting them to the esophagus.

transverse colon

the middle part of the large intestine, passing across the abdomen from right to left below the stomach.

parietal peritoneum

the outer layer of the peritoneum that lines the interior of the abdominal wall

anaerobic glycolysis

the overall process where pyruvic acid generated durring glycolysis is converted to lactic acid

mastication

the process of chewing

peristalsis

the process of wave-like muscle contractions of the alimentary tract that moves food along

ileocecal sphincter

the ring-like muscle that controls the flow from the ileum of the small intestine into the cecum of the large intestine

hepatic vein

the vein that collects blood from the liver and returns it to the heart

alimentary canal

the whole passage along which food passes through the body from mouth to anus. It includes the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.

teniae coli

three bands of longitudinal smooth muscle in muscularis of large intestine

mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, serosa

tissue layers of alimentary canal

gingiva

tissue surrounding the teeth and covering the jaw (gums)

10

total number of reactions involved in glycolysis

8

total number of reactions involved in the citric acid (krebs or TCA) cycle?

iron, iodine

trace amounts of these are required in diet for body functions

transferases

transfer functional groups from one substrate to another

fatty acids

transported through small intestinal epithelial cells to lacteals of lymphatic system

amino acids, dipeptides, tripeptides

transported via diffusion to blood capillary from small intestine

glucose, galactose, fructose

transported via facilitated diffusion to blood capillary from small intestine

albumin, lipoproteins

transporter proteins

descending colon

travels down the left side of the abdominal cavity to the sigmoid colon

ascending colon

travels upward from the cecum to the undersurface of the liver

oxidation, phosphorylation

two processes involved in the ilectron transport chain

tight junctions

type of intercellular junction between mucosal cells of the stomach

calculus

unremoved dental plaque that has calcified

exercise, diet, certain drugs

used to reduce high cholesterol levels

nutrition

using nutrients for growth, synthesis, repair and energy

ileocecal valve

valve between the ileum of the small intestine and the cecum of the large intestine

coenzymes

vitamins that assist in the normal functioning of enzymes

Metabolic water

water generated as a result of oxidative phosphorylation

capture energy, ATP

what is the function of the electron transport chain? In what form is this acheived?

positive nitrogen balance

when protein intake and/or synthesis is higher than protein breakdown; ex. after tissue injury, pregnancy, childhood, illness

neck (tooth)

where the crown and root meet

root canal

where the pulp cavity extends into the root; provides a route for blood vessels, nerves, and other pulp structures to enter the pulp cavity of the tooth
