Oral Cavity n Mouth or oral cavity n n Lips (labia) and cheeks Palate: Oral cavity roof n n n Vestibule: Space between lips or cheeks and alveolar processes Oral cavity proper Hard and soft Palatine tonsils Tongue: Involved in speech, taste, mastication, swallowing
Teeth n Two sets n n n Primary, deciduous, milk: Childhood Permanent or secondary: Adult (32) Types n Incisors, canine, premolar and molars
Tooth structure:
Salivary Glands n Produce saliva n n n Prevents bacterial infection Lubrication Contains salivary amylase n n Breaks down starch Three pairs n n n Parotid: Largest Submandibular Sublingual: Smallest
Production of Salivary juice
SALIVARY SECRETIONS 1. Serous secretion that contains ptyalin, which is an enzyme for digesting starches. 2. Mucous secretion that contains mucin for lubricating and for surface protective purposes. 3. Saliva also contains Ig. A antibodies and lysozyme, which help to destroy any microorganisms in the oral cavity.
Swallowing reflex: Soft Palate & Esophagus Figure 21 -13: The swallowing reflex
Deglutition (Swallowing) n Three phases n Voluntary n Bolus of food moved by tongue from oral cavity to pharynx n Pharyngeal Reflex: Upper esophageal sphincter relaxes, elevated pharynx opens the esophagus, food pushed into esophagus n Esophageal n Reflex: Epiglottis is tipped posteriorly, larynx elevated to prevent food from passing into larynx

Chemical Events in Digestion: Carbohydrates 1. Shows carbohydrate digestion. 2. Note the small intestine’s role in conversion to monoand di-saccharides.
Chemical Events in Digestion: Lipids 3. Lipid digestion is shown here. 4. Note the conversion to monoglycerides in the small intestine due to bile salts and pancreatic lipase.
Chemical Events in Digestion: Proteins 5. Digestion of proteins. 6. Note stomach’s conversion to polypeptides. 7. Small intestine converts to short peptides and amino acids for intestinal absorption.
Gastric Secretion 1. Thin, strongly acidic (p. H: 1 to 3), almost colorless liquid. It is secreted by the glands in the lining of the stomach. 2. Essential constituents are the digestive enzymes pepsin and renin, hydrochloric acid, and mucus. 3. Certain cells of the stomach lining secrete intrinsic factor which is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B 12.

Pancreatic Secretion
Production of Pancreatic Secretion
Pancreatic Secretion 1. Clear, alkaline secretion of the pancreas containing enzymes that aid in the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. 2. There are mainly two types of pancreatic secretions: - Bicarbonate Secretion, - Enzyme Secretion.
