About Digestive System
GoConqr OriginalWhat the unit covers
This unit follows the digestive tract from the mouth to the large intestine, then moves on to the organs that support it. Mind maps such as Tongue split the muscles into intrinsic and extrinsic groups and note the hypoglossal nerve. The Esophagus covers the muscular tube, peristalsis and the sphincters. Others deal with the pharynx, teeth and the major salivary glands.
Where to start
Begin with the overview maps, such as Digestive tract and Wall of the Digestive Tract. They give you the layout before the detail. Then move down the tract: the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine.
- Read a map for the overall plan.
- Work through a flashcard deck on the same region, such as Anatomy of the small intestine, which asks where the duodenum begins and ends and how the mesentery and blood supply work.
- Test yourself with a quiz.
Using quizzes and maps together
Several quizzes ask you to name structures from images. Pancreas and Stomach and Liver are good examples, with the accessory and main pancreatic ducts among the answers. The Stomach and Spleen mixes labelling with questions on regions of the abdomen and visceroptosis. After a quiz, go back to the matching map and look again at the points you missed.
The wider picture
The Peritoneum map explains the parietal and visceral layers and the lesser and greater omentum. It links the organs together. The Blood Supply of GIT and Nerve Supply of GIT maps do the same for vessels and nerves. There are also notes, flowcharts such as Biliary Tree, and a slide set. This unit sits in the Digestive, Urinary, Reproductive and Endocrine Systems strand of Anatomy.
Choose one organ today, take its quiz, and then build a small map or deck of your own to fill any gaps.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with an overview mind map such as Digestive tract or Wall of the Digestive Tract to see the general plan. Then try a flashcard deck on one region, like Anatomy of the small intestine, and finish with a quiz on the same area to see what stuck.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover the whole tract and its helpers: the tongue, pharynx, teeth, salivary glands, oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, ileum, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. There are also maps on the peritoneum, blood supply and nerve supply of the digestive tract.
Are the quizzes for labelling or recall?
Both. Quizzes such as Pancreas and Stomach and Liver ask you to name structures shown in images. Others, like The Stomach and Spleen, use questions on regions of the abdomen and terms such as visceroptosis, so you can practise recognition and recall.
Who are these resources for?
Most of the material is at university level, so it suits university students revising anatomy. Teachers can also use the ready-made quizzes, maps and flashcards in class or as set revision tasks. Everything was made by GoConqr users.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. If you want to save your quiz scores or make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, you can add a free account.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Look for a nearby organ or an overview resource first, since many sets cover several parts at once. Titles such as Gastrointestinal or GI anatomy often spread across the tract. You can also make your own map or deck for the gap.
