GastroenterologyGastroenterology

• The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical procedures, and drugs to treat gastrointestinal diseases.

3-1



Anatomy and PhysiologyAnatomy and Physiology

• Gastrointestinal (GI) System Begins at the mouth, continues through

the thoracic cavity, and fills much of the abdominal cavity

Upper gastrointestinal system includes the structures from the mouth through the stomach.

3-1




• Gastrointestinal (GI) System Lower gastrointestinal system includes

the structures from the small intestine through the anus.

Purpose of GI system is to digest food, absorb nutrients, and remove undigested material (waste) from the body.

Anatomy of theAnatomy of theGastrointestinal SystemGastrointestinal System

• Oral Cavity and Pharynx The GI system begins in the mouth, or

oral cavity The oral cavity contains the teeth,

gums, tongue, hard palate, and soft palate with its fleshy, hanging uvula.

3-1



Figure 3-2 Oral cavity and pharynx.

3-1




• Oral Cavity and Pharynx The oral cavity is lined with mucosa, a

mucous membrane that produces thin mucus.

Receptors on the tongue perceive taste and send this sensory information to the gustatory cortex in the brain.

3-1




• Oral Cavity and Pharynx The sight, smell, and taste of food cause

the salivary glands to release saliva into the mouth; this moistens foods as they are chewed and swallowed.

Saliva also contains an enzyme that begins the process of digestion.

3-1




• Oral Cavity and Pharynx There are three pairs of salivary glands:

the parotid glands, the sublingual glands, and the submandibular glands.

The teeth tear, chew, and grind the food during the process of mastication.

3-1



Figure 3-3 Salivary glands.

3-1




• Oral Cavity and Pharynx The tongue moves food toward the

teeth and mixes food with saliva. Swallowing or deglutition moves food

into the pharynx (throat).

3-1




• Oral Cavity and Pharynx When food is swallowed, muscles in the

neck pull the larynx upward to close against the epiglottis, so that food in the pharynx does not enter the larynx, trachea, and lungs. If the larynx is not closed, food in the back of the pharynx pressing on the uvula initiates the gag reflex.

3-1




• Esophagus A flexible, muscular tube that connects

the pharynx to the stomach. Lined with mucosa that produces mucus By coordinated contractions of its wall—

the process of peristalsis—food moves toward the stomach

3-1




• Stomach A large, elongated sac in the upper

abdominal cavity that receives food from the esophagus

Divided into four areas: the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus

3-1




• Stomach The gastric mucosa is arranged in thick,

deep folds known as rugae which expand as the stomach fills with food.

The mucosa produces mucus that protects the lining of the stomach from the acid the stomach produces.

3-1




• Stomach Two sphincters (muscular rings) keep food

in the stomach. The lower esophageal sphincter is located

in the distal esophagus. The pyloric sphincter is located in the

distal end of the stomach. Chyme is a semisolid mixture of partially

digested food, saliva, and digestive enzymes in the stomach.

3-1



Figure 3-4 Stomach.

3-1




• Small Intestine A long, hollow tube that receives chyme

from the stomach Is divided into three parts: the

duodenum, jejunum, and ileum

3-1



Figure 3-5 Small and large intestines.

3-1




• Large Intestine A larger tube that receives undigested

material and some water from the small intestine.

Consists of the cecum, colon, rectum, and anus.

The walls contain haustra (puckered pouches) that can greatly expand, as needed.

3-1




• Large Intestine Waves of peristalsis slowly move

undigested wastes through the large intestine as water is absorbed through the intestinal wall and into the blood.

The colon is the longest part. Colon travels through all four quadrants

of the abdomen as the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.

3-1




• Large Intestine The sigmoid colon bends toward the

midline as an S-shaped curve that joins the rectum.

The rectum is a short, straight segment that connects to the outside of the body.

3-1




• Large Intestine The anus, the external opening of the

rectum, is located between the buttocks. The anal sphincter is a muscular ring

whose opening and closing is under conscious, voluntary control.

3-1




• Abdomen and Abdominopelvic Cavity Contains the largest organs (viscera) of

the gastrointestinal system. The walls of the abdominopelvic cavity

are lined with peritoneum, a membrane that secretes peritoneal fluid.

This watery fluid fills the spaces between the organs and allows them to slide past each other during the movements of digestion.

3-1




• Abdomen and Abdominopelvic Cavity The peritoneum extends into the center

of the abdominopelvic cavity as the omentum.

The omentum supports the stomach and hangs down as a fatty apron to cover and protect the small intestine.

The peritoneum also becomes the mesentery, a thick, fan-shaped sheet that supports the jejunum and ileum.

3-1




• The blood supply to the stomach, small intestine, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas comes from the celiac trunk (a branch of the aorta, the largest artery in the body).

3-1




• Liver The largest solid organ in the body Located in the upper right abdominal

cavity An accessory organ of digestion that

contributes to, but is not physically involved in, the process of digestion

Liver cells (hepatocytes) continuously produce bile, a yellow-green, bitter-tasting, thick fluid.

3-1




• Liver Bile produced by the liver flows through

the common hepatic duct and into the common bile duct toward the duodenum. When that duct is full, bile flows into the cystic duct and gallbladder.

All of the ducts that carry bile are collectively known as the biliary tree.

3-1



Figure 3-6 Biliary tree.

3-1




• Gallbladder An accessory organ of digestion

posterior to the liver. Concentrates and stores bile The presence of fatty chyme in the

duodenum causes the gallbladder to contract, sending bile from the common bile duct into the duodenum to digest fats

3-1




• Pancreas An accessory organ of digestion

posterior to the stomach. Presence of food in the duodenum

causes the pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes through the pancreatic duct and into the duodenum

Also functions as an organ of the endocrine system

3-1



Physiology of DigestionPhysiology of Digestion

• There are two parts to digestion: Mechanical Chemical

• Mechanical digestion involves mastication, deglutition, and peristalsis to break down foods.

• Mechanical digestion also involves breaking apart fats in the duodenum.

3-1




• Fatty chyme stimulates the duodenum to secrete the hormone cholecystokinin, which stimulates the gallbladder to contract and release bile.

• Bile breaks apart large globules of fat during the process of emulsification.

• Chemical digestion uses enzymes and acid to break down foods.

3-1




• The enzyme amylase in saliva begins to break down carbohydrate foods in the mouth.

• The stomach secretes the following substances that continue the process of chemical digestion: Hydrochloric acid Pepsinogen Gastrin

3-1




• The stomach secretes a substance known as intrinsic factor, which helps vitamin B12 be absorbed from the intestine into the blood.

• When the stomach does not produce enough intrinsic factor, vitamin B12 is not absorbed.

3-1




• Chemical digestion continues in the small intestine.

• Cholecystokinin stimulates the pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes into the duodenum: Amylase Lipase Other enzymes that break down

proteins

3-2




• The villi of the small intestine produce digestive enzymes such as lactase to break down the sugar in milk.

• The sugars in carbohydrates, starches, and milk are broken down to the simple sugar glucose which is the only source of energy that body cells can use.

3-2




• Absorption of nutrients and water through the intestinal wall into the blood takes place in the small intestine.

• Absorption of water continues in the large intestine.

• Absorbed nutrients are carried by blood to the liver.

3-2




• The liver plays an important role in regulating nutrients such as glucose and amino acids.

• Excess glucose in the blood is stored in the liver as glycogen and released when the blood glucose level is low.

• The liver uses amino acids to build plasma proteins and clotting factors for the blood.

3-2




• Elimination occurs when undigested materials and water are eliminated from the body in a solid waste form known as feces or stool.

• The process of elimination is a bowel movement or defecation.

• Consists of the right and left lungs and the air passageways that connect the lungs to the outside of the body

• The upper respiratory system in the head and neck includes the nose, nasal cavity, and pharynx (throat).

• The upper respiratory system shares structures with the ears, nose, and throat (ENT) system.

4-1




• The lower respiratory system includes the larynx (voice box) and trachea (windpipe) in the neck and the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli in the lungs.

• The lungs fill much of the thoracic cavity.

4-1




• Purpose of respiratory system is to bring oxygen into the body and expel the waste product carbon dioxide.

4-1



Anatomy of the Respiratory Anatomy of the Respiratory SystemSystem

• Nose and Nasal Cavity The nose contains the nasal cavity,

which is divided in the center by the nasal septum.

On each side of the cavity are three long, bony projections: the superior, middle, and inferior turbinates, or nasal conchae. These jut into the nasal cavity and slow down inhaled air so that it can be warmed and moistened.

4-1




• The nasal cavity is lined with mucosa, a mucous membrane that humidifies the air and produces mucus.

• Mucus and hairs in the nose trap inhaled particles of dust, pollen, smoke, and bacteria and keep them from entering the lungs.

4-1



Figure 4-2 Nasal cavity.

4-1




• Pharynx Mucous membranes of the pharynx

warm and moisten inhaled air and trap particles.

A common passageway for inhaled air, exhaled air, and food

4-1




• Larynx (voice box) At its inferior end, the pharynx divides

into two parts: the larynx which leads to the trachea and the esophagus which leads to the stomach.

Remains open during respiration and speech, allowing air to pass in and out through the vocal cords

4-1




• Larynx During swallowing, muscles in the neck

pull the larynx up to meet the epiglottis, which seals off the larynx entrance, so that swallowed food moves across the epiglottis and into the esophagus, not into the trachea.

4-1



Figure 4-3 Larynx.

4-1




• Trachea (windpipe) Below the vocal cords, the larynx

merges into the trachea, which is about 1 inch in diameter and 4 inches in length.

A passageway for inhaled and exhaled air

4-1




• Trachea (windpipe) A column of C-shaped rings of cartilage

provide support to the trachea. On the posterior surface where there is

no cartilage, the trachea is flexible and can flatten to make room when food passes through the esophagus.

4-1




• Bronchi The inferior end of the trachea splits to

become the right and left primary bronchi.

The primary bronchi contain cartilage rings that provide support.

Each primary bronchus enters a lung and branches into smaller bronchioles.

4-1




• Bronchi The smallest bronchioles (diameter 1

mm or less) have smooth muscle around them, but no cartilage.

The lumen is the central opening in the bronchi and bronchioles through which air passes.

Bronchopulmonary refers to the bronchi and the lungs.

4-1




• Bronchi The bronchial tree includes the trachea,

bronchi, and bronchioles. The bronchial tree is lined with cilia,

small hairs that move in coordinated waves to carry mucus and trapped particles toward the throat where they can be expelled.

4-1



Figure 4-4 Trachea, lung, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli.

4-1




• Lungs Spongy, air-filled structures. Each lung contains lobes, large divisions

whose dividing lines are visible on the outer surface of the lung.

4-1




• Lungs The right lung, which is larger, has three

lobes:• The right upper lobe (RUL)• The right middle lobe (RML)• The right lower lobe (RLL)

The left lung has two lobes:• The left upper lobe (LUL) • The left lower lobe (LLL)

4-1




• Lungs The rounded top of each lung is the

apex. The base of each lung lies along the

diaphragm.

4-1




• Lungs A bronchus enters the lung at the hilum

(an indentation on the medial surface of the lung).

Inside the lung, the bronchus branches into bronchioles, which branch into alveoli.

4-1




• Lungs Oxygen and carbon dioxide are

exchanged between the alveolus and a nearby small blood vessel (capillary).

Alveolus secretes surfactant, a protein-fat compound that reduces surface tension and keeps the walls of the alveolus from collapsing with each exhalation.

4-1




• Lungs Collectively, the alveoli are the

pulmonary parenchyma, the functional part of the lung, as opposed to the connective tissue framework around it.

4-1




• Thoracic Cavity The thorax is a bony cage that consists

of the sternum (breast bone), the ribs, and bones of the spine; it surrounds and protects the thoracic cavity.

The mediastinum, an irregularly shaped area between the lungs, contains the trachea (and the heart and esophagus).

4-1




• Thoracic Cavity The diaphragm, a sheet of skeletal

muscle, is active during normal or forceful inhalation.

4-1



Figure 4-5 Diaphragm and pleura.

4-1




• Thoracic Cavity Each lung is surrounded by the pleura, a

double-layered serous membrane. The visceral pleura is the layer next to

the lung surface, while the parietal pleura is the layer next to the wall of the thorax.

4-1




• Thoracic Cavity The pleura secretes pleural fluid, a

slippery, watery fluid that allows the two layers to slide smoothly past each other as the lungs expand and contract during respiration.

Physiology of RespirationPhysiology of Respiration

• Respiration consists of breathing in and breathing out.

• Breathing in is inhalation or inspiration. • Breathing out is exhalation or

expiration.

4-2




• Breathing is normally an involuntary process.

• The respiratory control centers in the brain regulate the depth and rate of respiration.

4-2




• Receptors in large arteries in the chest and neck send these centers information about the blood level of oxygen; receptors in the brain send information about the blood level of carbon dioxide.

4-2




• The respiratory control centers send nerve impulses to the phrenic nerve, causing the diaphragm to contract and begin inspiration.

• At the same time, the intercostal muscles pull the ribs up and out.

• A normal depth and rate of respiration is known as eupnea.

4-2




• Respiration involves five separate processes:1. Ventilation―Movement of air in and

out of the lungs.

4-2




• Respiration involves five separate processes:2. External respiration―Movement of

oxygen from inhaled air into the alveoli and then into the blood and the movement of carbon dioxide from the blood into the alveoli and then into exhaled air. External respiration is the exchange of these gases in the alveolus.

4-2




• Respiration involves five separate processes:3. Gas transport―Blood transports

oxygen and carbon dioxide; oxygenated blood travels from lungs to heart, where it is pumped throughout the body.

4-2




• Respiration involves five separate processes:4. Internal respiration―Movement of

oxygen from blood into cells and movement of carbon dioxide from cells into blood.

5. Cellular respiration―Oxygen is used by the cells to produce energy in the process of metabolism.
