GASTRO INTESTINAL TRACK

CREATED BY : ANNISHA RAHMANI 2013

GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
GI TRACT is consists of a hollow muscular tube starting from the oral cavity, where food enters the mouth, continuing through the pharynx, esophagus, stomach and intestines to the rectum and anus, where food is expelled.

The mainly organ : 1. Oral cavity 2. Pharynx 3. Esophagus 4. Stomach 5. Intestine 6. Rectum 7. Anus

The accessory organ : 1. Salivary glands : 2. Liver 3. Pancreas 4. Gall bladder

Part of Oral Cavity

Mainly Consist of : 1. Gums 2. Hard and Soft palate 3. Palatine tonsil 4. Uvula 5. Papillae of tongue 6. Teeth

GUMS
The gingiva (or gum) is a fibroepithelial mucosal tissue that surrounds the teeth and covers the alveolar jawbone.

PALATE
Palate is divided into two types : hard palate and soft palate Hard palate is found anteriorly, The hard palate belongs to the oral cavity and separates it from the nasal cavities. The shape hard palate is concave, and this concavity is occupied mostly by the tongue when it is at rest. The soft palate belongs to the oropharynx and separates it from the nasopharynx. The hard palate is. It is a bony plate that functions to separate the nasal cavity from the oral cavity. It is covered above by respiratory mucosa, and below by oral mucosa The soft palate is a posterior continuation of the hard palate, but is muscular not bony. It acts as a valve that can close the oropharyngeal isthmus (by lowering), and separates the nasopharynx from the oropharynx (by elevating).

PALATINE TONSIL
The palatine tonsils are located in the tonsillar sinuses (or fossae) of the oropharynx, which is bounded by the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches and the tongue. They are thoroughly described elsewhere. During swallowing, the soft palate is initially tensed to squeeze the bolus of food between the tongue and pharynx before elevation of the soft palate to block the nasal passages while the bolus is propelled into the pharynx.
