1. For each organ of the GI tract (except the pharynx), be able to describe its anatomy in the detail given by the study guide. You should certainly know the bold- faced terms. Note: Many, but certainly not all, the bold-faced structures will be learned in lab. The lecture quizzes and lecture exam and final lecture exam will only lightly cover these structures. I almost certainly would not, for example, ask you to identify the greater curvature of the stomach on a lecture exam.

More heavily hit on the lecture quizzes/exams will be the structures, part of structures, and cells that are not covered in lab. A few examples of the latter would be the teeth (can you tell me where to find an incisor?), papillae of the tongue (what are they?), chief cells of the stomach (what are they part of and what do they secrete?), microvilli of the SI (what are they and what is their function?), etc.

2. Repeat question 1 but for the accessory organs of the digestive system.

3. For each organ (or parts of an organ) of the GI tract and for the accessory organs of the GI system, be able briefly to give functions as given in the study guide.

4. For each organ of the GI tract, be able to list any exocrine secretions. What are the functions of these substances? Be able to list any endocrine (hormonal) secretions.

5. For each accessory organ of the GI system, be able to list its exocrine secretions and the functions of these substances. For the pancreas, be able to list its endocrine secretions.

6. Understand the pathways (ducts) between the external exocrine glands of the GI system and the GI tract.

7. Describe the peritoneal membrane. How does it form a cavity? What is the name of this cavity, and what does it contain?

8. What is a retroperitoneal organ?
