arcuate
as temperatures decrease, enzyme activity
decreases
allow stomach to expand
gastic folds
bile is produced in the
liver
last section of small intestine
lleum
common opening region for bile and pancreatic secretions
major duodenal papilla
which is a major function o the oral cavity?
mechanical digestion
layer nearest lumen of alimentary canal
mucosa
responsible for peristaltic waves
muscular layer
secrete hydrochloric acid into the stomach
parietal cells
summarize the functions of the small intestine
receives secretions from the pancreas and liver, it also competes digestion of the nutrients in chyme, absorbs the products of digestion, and transports the remaining residuals to the large intestine.
the ___ lobe is the largest lobe of the liver
right
which of the following digestive organs possesses villi?
small intestine
the enzyme amylase accelerates the reaction of changing
starch into disaccharides
smallest of major salivary glands
sublingual gland
the optimum pH for amylase activity is
6.8-7.0
cortical nephrons represent about ___ of the nephrons.
80%
what happens when someone takes a drink of water.
as the liquid goes down the trachea, it's almost like it contracted while going down.
region of stomach near lower esophageal sphincter
cardia
portion of tooth projecting beyond gingivae
crown
the ____ is exposed part of a tooth.
crown
attached to gallbladder
cystic duct
the appendix, cecum, and ascending colon are on the left side of the body.
false
the external urethral sphincter is composed of involuntary smooth muscle.
false
the stomach can stretch enough to hold the contacts of a large meal because it has
gastic folds
name the valve that controls the movement of material between the small and large intestines
ileocecal valve
after an enzyme reaction is completed, the enzyme
is still available
Is the pancreas and exocrine gland or and endocrine gland?
its is both exocrine and endocrine. Its a endocrine gland because it produces several important hormones including insulin, glucagon, and somato statin. And still qualifies as exocrine gland because it secretes pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes that pass through to the small intestine
the __ sphincter is the muscular valve at the exit of the stomach.
phyloric
name the valve that prevents regurgitation of food from the duodenum back into the stomach
pyloric valve (sphincter)
contains blood vessels and nerves in a tooth
root canal
amylase originates from
salivary glands and pancreas
which of the following does not represent one of the processes in urine formation?
secretion of renin
summarize the functions of the esophagus
the esophagus provides a passageway for food, and its muscular wall propels food from the pharynx to the stomach
when comparing the position of the two kidneys,
the right kidney is slightly inferior to the left kidney
How is the structure of the small intestine better adapted for absorption than that of the large intestine?
the small intestine has tiny projections called 'villi'; these projections increase the surface area for absorption. The large intestine doesn't have these structures.
summarize the functions of the stomach
the stomach receives food from the esophagus, mixes it with gastric juice, initiates the digestion of proteins, carries on limited absorption, and moves food into the small intestine
the accessory organs of the digestive system
tongue, pancreas, teeth, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, appendix
contraction of the detrusor muscles provide the force during micturition (urination)
true
the anal sphincter muscles include an external voluntary sphincter and an internal involuntary sphincter.
true
