Structure and Function of the Body Ed
16 Patton Ch 16 test questions with
correct answers
absoption - CORRECT ANSWERS-movement of digested nutrients through the GI
mucosa and into the internal environment
alimentary canal - CORRECT ANSWERS-digestive tube that extends from the mouth to
the anus
amylase - CORRECT ANSWERS-Enzyme in saliva that breaks the chemical bonds in
starches
bile - CORRECT ANSWERS-cholesterol and bile salts that mechanically emulsify lipids
body - CORRECT ANSWERS-central portion of the stomach
bolus - CORRECT ANSWERS-food formed into a small rounded mass so it can be
swallowed
canine teeth - CORRECT ANSWERS-cuspids; more elongated
cementum - CORRECT ANSWERS-Specialized, calcified connective tissue that covers
the anatomic root of a tooth.
chemical digestion - CORRECT ANSWERS-breaks molecules apart
cholecystokinin (CCK) - CORRECT ANSWERS-lipids in chyme trigger secretion from
intestinal mucosa of the duodenum; hormone promotes contraction of gallbladder and
bile flows in to duodenum
chyme - CORRECT ANSWERS-mixture of enzymes and partially-digested food
, colon - CORRECT ANSWERS-ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid
common bile duct - CORRECT ANSWERS-liver to small intestine (duodenum)
crown - CORRECT ANSWERS-portion of tooth projecting beyond gum
cystic duct - CORRECT ANSWERS-lead to gallbladder
deciduous teeth - CORRECT ANSWERS-baby teeth
deglutition - CORRECT ANSWERS-swallowing; regulation of voluntary swallowing is
dependent on nervous impulses originating in the motor cortex of the cerebrum;
involuntary movements medulla and pons of the brainstem
dentin - CORRECT ANSWERS-Dense tissue forming the bulk of a tooth.
digestion - CORRECT ANSWERS-group of processes that break complex nutrients into
simpler ones, facilitating their absorption
elimination - CORRECT ANSWERS-excretion of the residues of the digestive process
(feces) from the rectum, through the anus
enamel - CORRECT ANSWERS-hard, outermost layer of a tooth
enzymes - CORRECT ANSWERS-protein molecules that act as catalysts; speed up the
breakdown of specific nutrient molecules
esophagus - CORRECT ANSWERS-main organ
four layers of digestive tube - CORRECT ANSWERS-mucosa, submucosa, muscularis,
serosa
fundus - CORRECT ANSWERS-enlarged, curving base to the left of and above the
opening of the esophagus into the stomach
gastrointestinal (GI) tract - CORRECT ANSWERS-refers only to the portion that
includes the stomach and intestines
hiatal hernia - CORRECT ANSWERS-protrusion of a part of the stomach upward
through the opening in the diaphragm
hydrolysis - CORRECT ANSWERS-Breaking down complex molecules by the chemical
addition of water
ileocecal valve - CORRECT ANSWERS-Valve at the junction of the small and large
intestines
