Anatomy and Physiology OverviewAnatomy and Physiology Overview
• General description of the digestive or gastrointestinal system: a continuous tube beginning with the mouth and ending at the anus.
• This tube is known as the alimentary canal and/or gastrointestinal tract and is about 30 feet long in adults.

Anatomy and Physiology OverviewAnatomy and Physiology Overview
• Digestive system contains both primary and accessory organs for the conversion of food and fluids into a semiliquid that can be absorbed for the body to use.
• Three main functions:– Digestion– Absorption– Elimination
![Page 8: Medical Terminology FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS CHAPTER 8th edition Medical Terminology for Health Care Professionals, 8e Jane Rice Copyright © 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e0c5503460f94af479a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Anatomy and Physiology OverviewAnatomy and Physiology Overview
• Digestion changes food by means of digestive enzymes in the mouth, stomach, and intestines so the body can absorb the food.
• Absorption takes nutrients into the bloodstream or lymph.
• Elimination is excretion of solid waste end products of digestion.

With aging:• Digestive system becomes less motile.• Glandular secretions decrease:
– Drier mouth– Less gastric juices
• Nutrient absorption is mildly reduced.• Teeth are mechanically worn down.• Gums begin to recede.

• Digestion begins as food is broken apart by the action of the teeth, moistened and lubricated by saliva, and formed into a bolus.

enter the root canal through an opening called the apical foramen

• Root– Sits in a bony socket called an alveolus.– Collagen fibers of the periodontal ligament
extend from the dentin of the root to the bone of the alveolus, creating a strong articulation known as a gomphosis.
– A layer of cementum (a thin layer of bone) covers the dentin of the root, firmly anchoring the periodontal ligament.

internal nares and the entrance to the larynx and esophagus

PharynxPharynx
• Nasopharynx: the upper portion of the pharynx, above the soft palate
• Oropharynx: the middle portion, which lies between the palate and the hyoid bone and has an opening to the oral cavity
• Laryngopharynx: the lowest portion of the pharynx
![Page 34: Medical Terminology FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS CHAPTER 8th edition Medical Terminology for Health Care Professionals, 8e Jane Rice Copyright © 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e0c5503460f94af479a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

PharynxPharynx
• The pharynx is a common passageway for both respiration and digestion.
• Both the larynx, or voice box, and the esophagus begin in the pharynx.
• The epiglottis (a flap of tissue) blocks the opening of the larynx, preventing food from entering the airway leading to the trachea (windpipe).
![Page 35: Medical Terminology FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS CHAPTER 8th edition Medical Terminology for Health Care Professionals, 8e Jane Rice Copyright © 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e0c5503460f94af479a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

EsophagusEsophagus
• A muscular tube about 10 inches long that leads from the pharynx to the stomach.
• The lower esophageal or cardiac sphincter is at the junction with the stomach.
• This sphincter:– relaxes to permit passage of food.– contracts to prevent the backup of stomach
contents.
![Page 36: Medical Terminology FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS CHAPTER 8th edition Medical Terminology for Health Care Professionals, 8e Jane Rice Copyright © 2015](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e0c5503460f94af479a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

• Food is carried along the esophagus by a series of wavelike muscular contractions called peristalsis.

StomachStomach
• A muscular, distensible saclike portion of the alimentary canal between the esophagus and duodenum.
• Fundus: upper region of the stomach.• Body: the main portion.• Antrum: the lower region.• Rugae: folds in the mucous membrane
lining the stomach that contain glands that produce digestive juices.

• Chyme is mixed with bile and pancreatic juice.
• Digestion and absorption take place chiefly in the small intestine.
• Tiny capillaries and lymph vessels absorb nutrients, which are transferred to body cells by the circulatory system.
