About Digestive System
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
This unit sits in the Digestive, Respiratory and Integumentary Systems strand of Histology and embryology. The listed material follows the digestive tube from top to bottom. You will find resources on the oral cavity, salivary glands, oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, liver, pancreas and gall bladder. Some resources look at development, others at structure, and a few at pathology.
Where to start
Begin with the basic plan of the tube. The flashcard deck BMS13-1054 Histology of the GI tract asks about the five parts of the basic structure, the plexuses that innervate the tract and the epithelium found in different regions. The deck Lecture 20 - Introduction to GI tract covers similar ground, including which epithelium lines the oral cavity, stomach and intestines.
- Work through a general deck to learn the layers and epithelium types.
- Move to region decks such as Stomach Histology and Histology of Oral Cavity and Oesophagus.
- Take the quiz called Digestive System, which asks about the submandibular and parotid glands and the muscle layer of the oesophagus.
Using quizzes and maps together
Use a quiz first to see what you cannot yet answer. Then open a mind map to fill the gap. The mind map Abnormalities of GI development links duodenal atresia, the double bubble sign on x ray and congenital pyloric stenosis. The mind map Respiratory and Digestive starts from body folding and the gut tube. Go back to the quiz afterward and see what has changed.
Structure and development
Several resources pair adult structure with embryology. The flowchart on stomach regions compares the ruminant stomach with other types, and a second flowchart covers the epithelium of the digestive tract mucosa. Use these when you want to compare regions side by side rather than memorize them one at a time.
Next step
Pick one region of the gut, take a quiz on it, then build your own flashcards for the points you missed. Teachers can use the listed decks and quizzes as ready-made starting points for a class.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with a general overview. The flashcard deck BMS13-1054 Histology of the GI tract covers the five parts of the basic structure, the plexuses and the epithelium of the oesophagus. Once those layers make sense, move on to the region decks for the stomach, intestines and salivary glands.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
There are a few dozen mind maps. Some follow development, such as Abnormalities of GI development and Respiratory and Digestive. Others cover regions, including the salivary glands, stomach, small intestine, pancreas and gall bladder. One looks at the pathology of the oral cavity and oesophagus.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.
Who are these resources for?
They suit university students studying the histology and embryology of the digestive system, and teachers who want ready-made material. Everything listed is at university level, so expect terms like lamina muscularis mucosae, acini and photomicrographs.
Is there anything on the liver and pancreas?
Yes. The flashcard deck BMS13-1053 - Liver & pancreas is listed, along with a quiz on liver structure and function and a mind map on the pancreas. There is also a deck covering the gastrointestinal tract and liver together.
What if I cannot find the topic I need?
Try a nearby resource first, since the gut is covered region by region and many decks overlap. If a gap remains, you can build your own flashcards, mind map or quiz on the missing topic with a free account.
