The Digestive System

The digestive system consists of the alimentary canal and related or accessory organs. The alimentary canal is formed by the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum. The accessory structures are the teeth, tongue, salivary glands, hard and soft palates, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. The alimentary tract from esophagus to rectum conforms to a definite structural plan. The layers from within outward are mucous, submucous, muscular and serous. In the esophagus the serous layer is lacking and the outer coat is fibrous in nature. The organs of the digestive system contained in the abdomen are covered with the serous coat, the peritoneum. The peritoneum has two layers, the visceral and parietal. The mouth is the first division of the alimentary tract. Important structures of the mouth are the tongue, which contains the end organ for taste, and the teeth which divide and mix the food. There are two sets of teeth, first the deciduous or milk teeth and later the permanent teeth.

The palatine tonsils are on the lateral walls of the oral pharynx between the palatine arches. The oral and laryngeal portions of the pharynx serve as a channel for the passage of both food and air; food is conducted through it from the mouth to the esophagus and air from the nasal pharynx to the larynx. The esophagus conveys food from the pharynx to the stomach. The stomach is a dilated portion of the alimentary canal lying in the upper abdomen just under the diaphragm. It is a retaining and mixing reservoir in which the process of digestion begins. The circular muscle layer is thickened at the pyloric and cardiac orifices to form sphincters. The glands of the fundus and body are most important in the secretion of gastric juice. They are formed mainly of chief and parietal cells.

The small intestine is a thin-walled muscular tube about 7 meters long. Its three portions are: duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The bile and pancreatic ducts empty into the duodenum. Special structural features of the small intestine are the villi and the circular folds. The intestinal glands or crypts of Lieberkuhn secrete the intestinal juice containing the digestive enzymes. The large intestine is about 1. 5 meters long and is divided into caecum, colon and rectum. Special structural features of the large intestine are teniae coli, haustra, semilunar folds and epiploic appendages. The large salivary glands consist of the parotid, the submaxillary and the sublingual. Ducts from the three pairs of glands open into the mouth.

The liver is the largest gland in the body. It is directly beneath the diaphragm on the right side of the abdomen. The liver cells are arranged in architectural units, called lobules. The bile capillaries and sinusoids lie between chains of liver cells in the lobule. Branches of the portal vein, bile duct and hepatic arteries encircle the periphery of the lobule. The liver secretes bile and has many other important functions such as stimulation of red bone marrow, production of fibrinogen, glycogenetic function and urea synthesis.

The gallbladder is a pear-shaped hollow sac attached to the under surface of the liver. It concentrates the bile. The pancreas is a long slender organ with its head to the right in the loop of the duodenum, its body posterior to the stomach and its tail touching the spleen on the left. The pancreas forms an external secretion important in digestion and an internal secretion, insulin, concerned with carbohydrate metabolism.
