Esophagus• Mucosal epithelium is stratified squamous

Stomach

• Mucosal epithelium is simple columnar

• Liq uified food in the intestinal tract, first produced in the stomach is chyme.

• Contents of the intestinal tract in the fetus is meconium.

Small Intestine

• Three subdivisions: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum

• The bile duct and main pancreatic duct join the duodenum at the hepatopancreatic ampulla

Pancreas

Pancreas

• Exocrine function– Secretes pancreatic juice which contains

enzymes which break down all categories of foods

– Secretes HCO3– which neutralizes acidic

chyme, and provides optimal environment for pancreatic enzymes

• Enzymes are released in inactive form and activated in the duodenum

Liver

• The largest gland in the body

• Has four lobes

• Hepatic artery- brings oxygen rich blood to the liver

• Hepatic portal vein- brings nutrient rich blood from the digestive organs to the liver

• Both of these empty into the sinusoids of the liver

Liver: Microscopic Anatomy• Liver sinusoids – enlarged, leaky capillaries • Kupffer cells – hepatic macrophages found in liver

sinusoids• Hepatocytes’ functions include:

– Production of bile– Processing bloodborne nutrients– Storage of fat-soluble vitamins– Detoxification– Protein synthesis– Synthesis of cholesterol

• Secreted bile flows between hepatocytes toward the bile ducts

Large Intestine

• Subdivided into the cecum, appendix, colon, rectum, and anal canal– Cecum and appendix have digestive function in

herbivores

• Has three bands of longitudinal smooth muscle in its muscularis

Tooth Structure

Figure 22.11


Tooth Structure 1

• Two main regions – crown and the root

• Crown – exposed part of the tooth above the gingiva (gum)– Covered with enamal, the hardest substance in the

body, which is composed of calcium and phosphate salts

• Root – portion of the tooth embedded in the jawbone– Covered with cementum, which is also calcified


Tooth Structure 2

• Periodontal ligament– Anchors the tooth in the jaw

• Dentin – bonelike material beneath the enamel cap that forms the bulk of the tooth

• Pulp cavity –center of tooth, containing connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves

• Root canal – extension of the pulp cavity out of the root


• Teeth are classified according to their shape and function

– Incisors: chisel-shaped teeth adapted for cutting or nipping

– Canines: conical or fanglike teeth that tear or pierce

– Premolars (bicuspids) & molars (tricuspids): have broad crowns with rounded tips and are best suited for grinding or crushing
