Digestive System Divisions
• Alimentary Canal (Gastrointestinal Tract)– These are all the structures that food passes
through during digestion– One, long, tube open at both ends– Starting with the mouth, ending with the anus
• Accessory Organs– These are the structures that aid in digestion
of food, but in which no food passes– Liver, gallbladder, pancreas, salivary glands

Palates
• • Palatum Durum (hard palate): Upper, anterior roof of the mouth, covered with rugae (folds) to allow backwards movement of food
• Palatum Velum (i.e. “Soft Palate”): Upper, posterior roof of the mouth. Closes off access to nasopharynx during swallowing
![Page 11: Anatomy & Physiology of Mechanical Digestion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56814fb3550346895dbd6b13/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Anatomy of Tongue
• Tongue: Muscle that mixes food with saliva, pushes food into the oropharynx, and contains gustatory papillae (taste receptors)
• Lingual frenulum: Fold of mucous membrane that attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth

Deglutition and Pharyngeal-Esophageal Anatomy
• Deglutition = swallowing• Food enters into the
oropharynx, then passes into the laryngopharynx
• Closure of the epiglottis allows passage of food into the esophagus and prevents aspiration (particulates in lungs)
![Page 14: Anatomy & Physiology of Mechanical Digestion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56814fb3550346895dbd6b13/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Peristalsis
• Alternating contractions between circular and longitudinal muscle of the pharynx and esophagus
• Physically separates food into small spheres (bolus) and moves it through the esophagus

STOMACH
• Initial site of protein hydrolysis/digestion
• Primary site of mechanical digestion via rumination

Cardiac Sphincter(antrum cardiacum)
• Food enters the stomach through this muscle via the esophagus
• Accidental opening of this structure may lead to Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disorder (GERD)
![Page 20: Anatomy & Physiology of Mechanical Digestion](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56814fb3550346895dbd6b13/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Fundus
• Means “bottom” in Latin but is the left anterior curvature of the stomach
• Stores food for appx. 1 hour
• Digestive gases collect here
