About Lesson
The GI system processes and transports nutrients and various wastes. The GI system has three functions: digestion, absorption, and excretion.
The accessory organs in the digestive systems are teeth, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
Anatomical TermsÂ
- Oral Cavity:Â Cavity that receives food for digestion.
- Cheeks: lateral walls of the mouth.
- Tongue: muscular structure of the floor of the mouth covered by mucous membrane.
- Gums: tissue covering the processes of the jaws.
- Teeth: hard bony projections in the jaws that serve to masticate food.
- Pharynx: throat: passageway for food traveling to the esophagus and air traveling to the larynx .
- Esophagus: muscular tube that moves food from the pharynx to the stomach.
- Stomach: sac-like organ that chemically mixes and prepares food received from the esophagus.
- Cardiac sphincter: Opening from esophagus to stomach.
- Pyloric sphincter: Opening of the stomach into the duodenum.
- Small intestine: Tubular structure that digests food received from the stomach.
- Duodenum: First portion of the small intestine.
- Jejunum: Second portion of the small intestine.
- Ileum: Third portion of the small intestine.
Large intestine: Larger tubular structure that receives the liquid waste products of digestion, reabsorbs water and minerals and forms and stores feces for defection.
- Cecum: first part of the large intestine.
- Colon: portions of the large intestine extending from the cecum to the rectum.
- Ascending colon
- Transverse colon
- Descending colon
- Sigmoid colon
- Rectum: Distal(end part)portion of the large intestine.
- Liver: Organ in the upper right quadrant that produces bile which is secreted into the duodenum during digestion
- Gallbladder: that stores and concentrates the bile produced in the liver.
- Pancreas: Gland that secretes pancreatic juice into the duodenum where it mixes with bile to digest food.
Anatomical and Clinical Division of the Abdomen
- Right Hypochondriac region
- Left hypochondriac region
- Right Lumbar region
- Left Lumbar region
- Umbilical region
- Right Inguinal region
- Left inguinal region
- Hypogastric region
Clinical Division of the Abdomen
- Right upper quadrant
- Right lower quadrant
- Left upper quadrant
- Left lower quadrant
Symptomatic and Diagnostic Terms
- Anorexia: loss of appetite
- Aphagia: inability to swallow
- Ascites: an accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity
- Diarrhea: frequent loose or liquid stools
- Dysphagia: difficulty in swallowing
- Hematemesis: Vomiting blood
- Hepatomegaly: Enlargement of the liver
- Melena: Dark colored
- Sublingual: Under the tongue
- Stomatitis: Inflammation of the mouth
- Cheilitis: inflammation of the lip
- Glossitis: Inflammation of the tongue
- GERD: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (a black flow of contents of the stomach into the esophagus as a result of abnormal function of the lower esophageal sphincter, caused burning pain in the esophagus)
- Enteritis: inflammation of the small intestine.
- Colitis: inflammation of the colon
- Appendicitis: inflammation of the appendix
- Volvulus: Twisting of the bowel on itself, causing obstruction
- Cholelithiasis: Presence of stones in the gallbladder or bile ducts
- Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas
Operative Terms
- Cheiloplasty: repair of the lip
- Glossectomy: excision of the tongue
- Esophagoplasty: repair of the esophagus
- Anastomosis: abnormal joining of two organs
- Cholecystectomy: excision of the gallbladder
- Cholelithotomy: an incision for removal of gallstones
- Cholelithotripsy: Crushing of gallstones
- NG tube intubation: Nasogastric intubation ( insertion of a tube through the nose into the stomach.
