Lecture 24: Mouth to Stomach
Oral Cavity (Mouth)
Secretion
o Secretion Saliva contains:
Mucus for lubrication
Electrolytes for salt balance
HCO− 3 to neutralize pH
Enzymes
o Chewing (mastication) begins mechanical breakdown of food and aids in
incorporation of oral secretions → increases surface area of what’s there
(increases surface area of food that you eat)
Digestion
o Secretion of two enzymes begins digestion
Ptyalin (salivary amylase) → break down carbohydrates
Lingual Lipase → break down fats
Absorption
o No designed mechanisms for absorption
o Thin mucosa and shallow vasculature does allow for non-digestive absorption
(some drugs)
Motility
o In conjunction with esophagus (and stomach) → Swallowing
o Three phases to swallowing
Oral phase
Pharyngeal (or oropharyngeal) phase
Esophageal phase
Salivary Control
Many control mechanisms are reflex-based
Reflexes can be local, or transmit extensively
Simple reflex vs conditioned reflex (pavlov’s dogs)
Oral Phase of Swallowing
Oral Phase
o Food in mouth
Pharyngeal Phase of Swallowing
Epiglottis covers entrance to larynx, and vocal cords close, preventing aspiration
Peristalsis
Think Toothpaste Tube
o Coordinated squeezing behind whatever needs to move forward
Peristaltic Wave
Involves all layers of muscle working in unison (only innermost circular muscle layer

Document Summary

In conjunction with esophagus (and stomach) swallowing: three phases to swallowing, oral phase, pharyngeal (or oropharyngeal) phase, esophageal phase. Salivary control: many control mechanisms are reflex-based, reflexes can be local, or transmit extensively, simple reflex vs conditioned reflex (pavlov"s dogs) Oral phase of swallowing: oral phase, food in mouth. Pharyngeal phase of swallowing: epiglottis covers entrance to larynx, and vocal cords close, preventing aspiration. Peristalsis: think toothpaste tube, coordinated squeezing behind whatever needs to move forward. Esophageal phase of swallowing: food moves to stomach via esophageal peristalsis, swallowing reflex has two forms, 1. Primary peristalsis (all phases) - mouth throat esophagus: 2. Secondary peristalsis (esophageal only) - if swallowing is interrupted, reflex begins again in esophagus if it"s not starting in mouth, then it is secondary peristalsis. Esophagus: no secretion, or absorption, digestion can occur within bolus of food due to salivary enzymes, motility two forms of peristalsis, les (lower esophageal sphincter) controls passage into stomach.
