Gastroenterology
• The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical procedures, and drugs to treat gastrointestinal diseases.
![Page 2: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Anatomy and Physiology
• Gastrointestinal System – Begins at the mouth, continues through the
thoracic cavity, and fills most of the abdominal cavity
– Upper gastrointestinal system includes the structures from the mouth through the stomach
![Page 3: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Anatomy and Physiology (con’t)
• Gastrointestinal System (con’t)– Lower gastrointestinal system includes the small
and large intestines– Purpose is to digest food, absorb nutrients, and
remove undigested material (waste) from the body
![Page 4: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Figure 3-1 Gastrointestinal system
![Page 5: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System
• Oral Cavity and Pharynx– Begins in the mouth, or oral cavity– Oral cavity contains the teeth; tongue; hard
palate; and soft palate with its fleshy, hanging uvula.
– Saliva also contains an enzyme that begins the process of digestion.
![Page 6: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Oral Cavity and Pharynx (con’t)– There are three pairs of salivary glands: the
parotid glands, the sublingual glands, and the submandibular glands.
– The teeth tear, chew, and grind the food during the process of mastication.
– The tongue moves food toward the teeth and mixes food with saliva.
![Page 7: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Oral Cavity and Pharynx (con’t)– Swallowing or deglutition moves food into the
throat or pharynx.– When food is swallowed, the epiglottis closes the
entrance to the larynx, so that food in the back of the throat, pressing on the uvula, does not initiate the gag reflex.
![Page 8: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Esophagus– A flexible, muscular tube that connects the
pharynx to the stomach.
![Page 11: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Stomach– Divided into four areas: the cardia, fundus, body,
and pylorus.– The gastric mucosa is arranged in thick, deep folds
known as rugae which expand as the stomach fills with food.
![Page 12: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Stomach (con’t)– Two sphincters (muscular rings) keep food in the
stomach.– The lower esophageal sphincter is located in the
distal esophagus.
![Page 13: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Small Intestine– The small intestine is a long, hollow tube that
receives chyme from the stomach.– It is divided into three parts: the duodenum,
jejunum, and ileum.
![Page 15: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

![Page 16: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Large Intestine– A larger, hollow tube that receives undigested
material and water from the small intestine.– Consists of the cecum, colon, rectum, and anus.
![Page 17: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Large Intestine (con’t)– Waves of peristalsis slowly move undigested
material through the large intestine as water is absorbed through the intestinal wall and into the blood.
– The colon is the longest part. – It travels through all four quadrants of the
abdomen as the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.
![Page 18: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Abdomen and Abdominopelvic Cavity– Contains the largest organs of the gastrointestinal
system. – The walls of the abdominopelvic cavity are lined
by peritoneum, a membrane that secretes peritoneal fluid.
– This watery fluid fills the spaces between the organs and allows them to slide past each other during the movements of digestion.
![Page 19: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• The blood supply to the stomach, small intestine, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas comes from the celiac trunk of the aorta, the largest artery in the body.
![Page 20: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Liver– The liver is the largest solid organ in the body,
located in the upper right abdominal cavity. – An accessory organ of digestion that contributes
to, but is not physically involved in, the process of digestion.
![Page 21: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Gallbladder– An accessory organ of digestion posterior to the
liver. – Concentrates and stores bile from the liver.
![Page 23: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Anatomy of the Gastrointestinal System (con't)
• Pancreas– An accessory organ of digestion posterior to the
stomach.– Presence of food in the duodenum causes the
pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes into the pancreatic duct to the duodenum.
– Also functions as an organ of the endocrine system.
![Page 24: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Physiology of Digestion
• There are two parts to digestion: – Mechanical – Chemical
• Mechanical digestion uses mastication, deglutition, and peristalsis to break down foods.
• Mechanical digestion also involves breaking apart fats in the duodenum.
![Page 25: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Physiology of Digestion (con't)
• The enzyme amylase in saliva begins to break down carbohydrate foods in the mouth.
• The stomach secretes the following substances that continue the process of chemical digestion:– Hydrochloric acid– Pepsinogen – Gastrin
![Page 26: Gastroenterology The medical specialty that studies the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system and uses diagnostic tests, medical and surgical.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062800/56649e0e5503460f94af901c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Chemical digestion is completed in the small intestine.
• Cholecystokinin stimulates the pancreas to secrete four digestive enzymes into the duodenum: – Amylase – Lipase– Protease– Other enzymes that break down proteins

• The liver plays an important role in regulating nutrients such as glucose and amino acids.
• Excess glucose in the blood is stored in the liver as glycogen and released when the blood glucose level is low.
• The liver uses amino acids to build plasma proteins and clotting factors for the blood.
