EXERCISE 38: ANATOMY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Be able to define digestion and absorption. What structures make up the alimentary canal or gastrointestinal tract? What structures are accessory organs?
What are the four basic tunics or layers that are consistent throughout the entire GI tract?

On the models in class and the cat  identify where possible:
Oral cavity - hard palate, soft palate, uvula, incissors, cuspids (or canines) and molars, review the tonsils, tongue
Salivary glands- parotid, submandibular, sublingual
Esophagus, stomach ( cardiac, fundic, body and pyloric regions, pyloric sphincter, lower esophageal or cardiac sphincter), small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum), ileocecal valve, large intestine (cecum, vermiform appendix, ascending colon, hepatic or right colic flexure, transverse colon, splenic or left colic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, anus).
Accessory organs:
Pancreas (head, body, tail, pancreatic duct), liver (right, left, caudate and quadrate lobes,  falciform ligament, common hepatic duct), gall bladder(cystic duct, common hepatic duct), mesentery

Structure of the tooth: enamel, dentin, pulp cavity, root canal, crown, neck root.

Slides:
Pancreas - identify pancreatic islets and exocrine cells

 

EXERCISE 39: CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROCESSES OF DIGESTION
In lab perform Activity 5: observing movement and sounds of digestion.

Do the Physio Ex computer simulations for chemical and physical processes of digestion and be prepared to answer questions about your results. (page p-86 in your lab manual)
Understand what chemical processes take place in which part of the digestive system as shown by the handout to be given out in lab.
