BABY TEETH

PAROTID, SUBMANDIBULAR AND SUBLINGUAL

INFLAMMATION OF THE PARTOTID GLAND

COMBINATION OF MASHED FOOD AND SALIVA

THE INVOLUNTARY MUSCLE THAT MAINTAINS THE MOVEMENT OF FOOD THROUGH THE BODY

THE CIRCULAR MUSCLE AT THE UPPER OPENING TO THE STOMACH. OPENS TO LET FOOD IN, CLOSES TO KEEP FOOD IN.

10 INCHES LONG

MIXES INTO THE BOLUS TO BREAK IT DOWN

HYDROCHOLORIC ACID WILL CAUSE THIS, IF ACID IS LEFT IN STOMACH TOO LONG.

SEMI LIQUID STATE OF FOOD. (THIS HAPPENS AFTER 3-5 HOURS)

AT THE END OF THE STOMACH AND ALLOWS THE CHYME TO ENTER IN SMALL AMOUNTS TO THE SMALL INTESTINE.

1" IN DIAMETER AND 20 FEET IN LENGTH. IT COMPLETES THE DIGESTIVE PROCESS AND ABSORBS THE NUTRIENTS FROM THE CHYME.

• DUODENUM: FIRST SEGMENT, 9 INCHES LONG
• JEJUNUM, 8 FEET LONG
• ILEUM 12 FEET LONG

THE LARGEST GLAND IN THE BODY, LIES BELOW THE DIAPHRAGM INT HE RUQ OFTHE ABDOMEN. IT SECRETES BILE. IT ALSO STORES GLYCOGEN, A FORM OF GLUCOSE

A SMALL SAC ATTACHED TO UNDER THE LIVER. ITS SOLE PURPOSE IS THE CONCENTRATION AND STORAGE OF BILE.

GALLSTONES, THIS OBSTUCTS THE BILE DUCTS.

WHEN BILE IS ABSORBED INTO THE BLOOD STREAM, PRODUCING THE YELLOW DISCOLORIZATION.

REMOVAL OF GALL BLADDER

LIES BEHIND THE STOMACH, A GLAND. SECRETES INSULIN DIRECTLY INTO THE BLOODSTREAM

WHERE THE WASTE PRODUCTS, UNDIGESTABLE MATERIALS ARE SENT THROUGH THE ILEOCECAL VALVE. 5 FEET LONG, 2" IN DIAMETER

ONCE THE LARGE INTESTINE ENTERS THE PELVIC CAVITY IT MAKES TWO TURNS IN THE SHAPE OF AN S...THEREFORE CALL SIGMOID SECTION OF THE COLON.

VIEWING OF THE ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH AND UPPER DUODENUM THROUGH A FLEXIBLE SCOPE.

EXAMINATION OF THE LOWER RECTUM AND ANAL CANAL THROUGH A 3 INCH LONG PROCTOSCOPE

EXAMINATION TO VIEW THE LOWER PORTION OF THE SIGMOID AND RECTUM THROUGH A 10-12" SIGMOIDOCOPE

INFLAMMATION OF THE APPENDIX

DISEASE OF THE LIVER, CAUSES DESTRUCTION OF THE LIVER CELLS. THIS LEADS TO IMPAIRED BLOOD AND LYMPH CIRCULATION AND INTERFERES WITH THE LIVERS JOB

INFLAMMATION OF THE COLON

ARTIFICIAL OPENING OF THE COLON, WASTE IS EXCRETED FROMTHE ABDOMINAL WALL

INFLAMMATION OF ANY PORTION OF THE GI TRACT, MOST COMMON IN THE TERMINAL ILEUM.

BULGING POUCHES IN THE WALL OF THE GI TRACT

DILATED, TORTUOUS VEINGS IN THE LOWER SECTION OF THE ESOPHAGUS

CRACK OR TEAR IN THE LINING OF THE ANUS

INFLAMMATION OF THE STOMACH AND INTESTINES. (INTESTINAL FLU, TRAVELERS DIARRHEA OR FOOD POISONING)

BACKFLOW OF GASTRIC CONTENTS INTO THE ESOPHAGUS THROUGH THE SPINCTER JUST ABOVE THE STOMACH

INFLAMMATION AND INFECTION OF THE LIVER THAT CAN RESULT IN CELL DESTRUCTION AND DEATH.

THE PROTRUSION OF A INTERNAL ORGAND THROUGH A NATURAL OPENING OF THE BODY WALL

THE PROCEDURE THAT REPLACES THE CONTENTS OF THE SAC

SURGICAL OPENING OF THE ILEUM, ALLOWS THE SMALL INTESTINE TO EMPTY THROUGH THE ABDOMINAL WALL

INFLAMMATION OF THE PANCREAS

USUALLY OCCURS IN SMALL INTESTINE, INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION. VOMITING, STOMACH PAIN

MASS OF TISSUE

ITCHING OF THE AREA SURROUNDING THE ANUS

NARROWING OF THE PYLORIC SPHINCTER.

INFLAMMATORY DISEAS, AFFECTS THE MUCOSA OF THE COLON
