A membranous fold that connects the midline of the tongue to the floor of the mouth?
Lingual frenulum
The different types of salivary glands have varying proportions of these cells?
Secretay cells
What is the mechanical and chemical breakdown of foods into forms that cell membranes can absorb?
Digestion
Hard palate
The process that breaks food into simpler chemicals?
Chemical digestion
It consists of the alimentary canal and several accessory organs?
Digestive System
Pataloglossal arch
Palatine tonsil
Soft palate
Palatopharyngeal arch
Superior labial frenulum
uvula
What are the bodies largest glands?
Parotid glands
The soft palate forms a muscular arch into a cone-shaped projection called?
Uvulav
Vestibular inferior lip
Mucous cells secrete a thick liquid called,_______________ which binds food particles and acts as a lubricant during swallowing.
Mucus
Some of the papillae contain what?
Taste buds
The ________________break food into smaller pieces, beginning mechanical digestion.
Teeth
A membranous fold that connects the midline of the tongue to the floor of the mouth?
lingual frenulum
They are not considered part of the skeletal system because they contain two types of proteins not found in bone and have a different structure than bone?
Teeth
The posterior of the tongue that is anchored to the hyoid bone?
the Root
The hard palate is formed by the palatine processes of what two bones?
maxillae bone palatine bone
These are located anterior and inferior to the ears between the skin of the cheeks and the masseter muscle?
Parotid glands
Is a thick, muscular organ that is covered by a mucous membrane and made mostly of skeletal muscle
Tongue
Gingivae
The accessory organs of the digestive system include? (4) salivary glands, liver, gall bladder, and pancreas
salivary glands liver gall bladder pancreas
Posterior wall of oropharynx
Is a thick, muscular organ that is covered by a mucous membrane and made mostly of skeletal muscle?
Tongue
Chewing increases the surface area of the food particles, enabling _____________________________to interact more effectively with nutrient molecules.
Digestive enzymes
The posterior region, of the tongue is anchored?
Hyoid bone
Serous cells produce a watery fluid that contains the digestive enzyme called?
Salivary amylase
The alimentary canal includes? (7)
mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, anal canal
Is the first part of the alimentary canal?
Mouth
The functions of the digestive system include: (5)
ingestion propulsion digestion absorption defecation
Interior labial frenulum
The process that breaks large pieces into smaller ones without altering their chemical composition?
Mechanical digestion
Produces clear, watery serous fluid rich in salivary amylase?
Parotid glands
Superior lip
Gingivae
Duct of submandibular gland
Forms the roof of the oral cavity and consists of a hard anterior part and a soft posterior part?
Palate
Its functions are the mechanical breakdown of food and begins the chemical digestion of carbohydrates?
Mouth
Palatine raphe
Vestibule
Tongue
Extends from the mouth to the anus?
Alimentary canal
The muscular action of the ____________________mixes food particles with saliva during chewing and moves food toward the pharynx during swallowing.
Tongue
Salivary glands are made of what two types of secretory cells?
serous cells mucous cells
The hardest structures in the body?
Teeth
The surface of the tongue had rough projections called?
Papillae
