Digestive glands
• Major salivary glands
• Liver

Function: Ingestion - selective intake of food.
Digestion – mechanical and chemical breakdown of food
into a form the body can use.
Absorption – uptake of nutrients into blood and lymph.
Compaction – absorption of water and consolidation of
wastes into fecal mass.
Defecation – the elimination of the fecal mass.

The liver
Wedge-shaped,largest single organ ,1,500g,
Function :
1.The largest metabolic organ ,nutrients absorbed from the digestive
tract are initially conveyed to the liver by the portal vein;
2.The largest gland ,secrete bile---yellowish ,brown fluid aids in the
emulsification of fat;
3.The pirimary site for detoxification;
4.The large lymph-producing organ,
5.produce RBC prenatally .

1.What is the extension of the root of the mesentery?
1. The mesentery extends about 15 cm downward and to the right from the
duodenojejunal flexure to the ileocolic junction . The intestinal border is
many times longer (6 or 7 m.) than the root of the mesentery; hence the
mesentery is pleated.
2 Where are the junctions between the foregut and midgut and
between the midgut and hindgut?
The foregut-midgut and celiac-superior mesenteric junction is at the middle of the
duodenum, superior to the major duodenal orifice. The midgut-hindgut and
superior-inferior mesenteric junction is near the left end of the transverse colon.
3. How is the liver maintained in position?
The liver is maintained in position by being (1) joined to the posterior abdominal
wall by veins (hepatic and caval) and ligaments (coronary and triangular), (2)
supported inferiorly by viscera (e.g., the right kidney and colic flexure), and (3)
suspended by ligaments (falciform and teres)
