Exam Questions and Answers
2 groups of digestive organs --- correct precise answer ---digestive
tract/alimentary canal and accessory digestive organs
What are the digestive tract/alimentary canal organs --- correct
precise answer ---mouth, oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, stomach,
small intestine, large intestine, anus
What are the accessory digestive organs --- correct precise answer
---- tongue, teeth, salivary glands, liver, biliary ducts, and
gallbladder
,What is the digestive tract? --- correct precise answer ---- a
continuous tube that starts in the oral cavity and ends inferiorly
with the anal cavity
- each organ plays an integral role in the breakdown of food and
uptake of nutrients
What is digestion? --- correct precise answer ---the process of
chewing crushes food in the mouth into smaller pieces to facilitate
chemical processing by enzymes into small molecules
What is absorption? --- correct precise answer ---- digestion is
complete in the small intestine and here most nutrients are
absorbed
- in the large intestine, water, vitamins etc. are absorbed
What is secretion? --- correct precise answer ---- in the presence of
food, cells of the stomach's mucosal wall release gastric acid to
perform chemical digestion
What is motility? --- correct precise answer ---- when food is
swallowed, muscles in the esophageal wall contract and relax to
push food through the esophagus down to the stomach
What is the innermost layer of the digestive tract wall and what is
it composed of? --- correct precise answer ---- mucosa
,- composed of: surface epithelium (reflects the expected function of
the organ), lamina propria (layer of loose connective tissue under
^), and muscularis mucosa (deepest layer composed of smooth
muscle fibres)
What is the submucosa? --- correct precise answer ---- the layer
below the mucosa
- composed of irregular connective tissue
- contains blood vessels, lymphatics, glands, and nerve plexuses
What is the muscularis externa? --- correct precise answer ----
composed of circular and longitudinal layers of smooth muscle with
nerve plexuses in between the layers
- the plexuses are responsible for muscular contraction to propel
food through the digestive tract
What is the outermost layer of the digestive tract? --- correct
precise answer ---- either a serosa or an adventitia
- when it is a serous membrane, it is known as serosa
- when it is composed of connective tissue, it is known as adventitia
What are the two parts of the oral cavity? --- correct precise
answer ---1. the vestibule (space between the cheeks and lips and
the gums and teeth)
, 2. the oral cavity proper (the other areas)
What is the palate? --- correct precise answer ---- makes up the
superior border of the oral cavity
- divided into the hard palate (bony) and soft palate (muscle)
- the posterior extension of the soft palate is the uvula
What are the two sets of teeth? --- correct precise answer ---1.
deciduous
- baby teeth
- consists of 2 incisors, 1 canine, and 2 molars in each quadrant of
the jaw
- 20 in total
2. permanent teeth
- 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars (bicuspids), and 3 molars in each
quadrant
- 32 teeth
What is the tongue made up of? --- correct precise answer ----
intrinsic muscles that control the shape of the tongue
- extrinsic muscles that move the tongue
- has a frenulum to anchor the tongue to the floor of the mouth
