Digestive system   show
🗑
Mechanical digestion   show
🗑
Chemical digestion   show
🗑
Roof of the mouth   show
🗑
Salivary glands   show
🗑
Mumps   show
🗑
show Receives both air and food passes bolus from moth to esophagus  
🗑
show Passageway from the pharynx to the stomach, muscular tube that is normally collapsed.  
🗑
show The soft palate closes off the nasopharynx and the epiglottis covers the glottis, forcing the bolus to enter the esophagus  
🗑
show Rhythmic muscular contractions that push food along the digestive tract  
🗑
Sphincters   show
🗑
show entrance of the esophagus to the stomach, prevents acidic contents of the stomach to rise into the esophagus  
🗑
show Acid reflux, when acid from the stomach rises up into the esophagus  
🗑
show Thick walled organ on the left side of the abdominal cavity. Receives food from the esophagus, starts digestion of proteins, moves food to the small intestine  
🗑
Capacity of the stomach   show
🗑
show Deep folds in the stomach's wall that disappear to allow the stomach to expand  
🗑
show Term referring to the stomach  
🗑
Columnar epithelium   show
🗑
Gastric juice   show
🗑
show Becomes the enzyme pepsin when exposed to HCl  
🗑
How long it takes for the stomach to empty   show
🗑
Chyme   show
🗑
Pyloric sphincter   show
🗑
Small intestine   show
🗑
show Receives bile from the liver and pancreatic juice from the pancreas. Has a slightly basic pH to neutralize acid from the stomach  
🗑
Villi   show
🗑
show Small lymphatic capillary in the villi that absorb lipoprotein droplets  
🗑
Hormone   show
🗑
show Stimulated by eating meat high in protein, produced by the stomach, acts on the stomach via secretion of gastric acid. Allows stomach to break down proteins, stimulates growth of stomach lining  
🗑
show Stimulated by partially digested protein and fat, produced by the duodenum, acts on the duodenum, small intestine, pancreas, and gall bladder. Pancreas increases output of pancreatic juice, liver increases output of bile, and gall bladder releases bile  
🗑
Secretin   show
🗑
show Cecum, colon, and rectum. Absorbs water, salts, and vitamins. Stores indigestible materials until it can be released as feces  
🗑
show Small pouch at the beginning of the small intestine, fights infections, contains healthy bacteria  
🗑
Peritonitis   show
🗑
Sections of the colon   show
🗑
show Opens at the anus where defecation occurs  
🗑
Defecation reflex   show
🗑
Feces   show
🗑
show Pancreas, liver, gall bladder, salivary glands  
🗑
show Exocrine function, producing pancreatic juice (containing bicarbonate that neutralizes chyme). Endocrine function, creates insulin and glucagon to keep blood glucose at normal limits.  
🗑
Pancreatic islets   show
🗑
show Stimulated by high blood glucose levels, produced by the pancreas, acts on liver cells, muscle cells and adipose tissue. Increases glucose absorption rate, lowers blood glucose level  
🗑
show Stimulated by lower blood glucose levels, produced by the pancreas, acts on the liver and adipose tissue. Stimulates liver to break down glycogen to glucose. Raises blood glucose level.  
🗑
show Stimulated by high blood glucose, amino acid levels, produced by the pancreas, cells in the stomach, small intestine. Acts on digestive tract to reduce absorption of nutrients. Suppresses the release of insulin and glucagen. Inhibits growth hormones  
🗑
show Largest gland in the body (100,000 lobules), detoxes blood, stores iron and vitamins, makes plasma proteins from amino acids, stores glucose and glycogen, produces urea, excretes bile, regulates blood cholesterol, creates bile salts  
🗑
Average blood glucose level   show
🗑
Hepatic portal system   show
🗑
Bile   show
🗑
show Muscular sac attached to the surface of the liver. Stores excess bile. Reabsorbs water. Bile leaves the gall bladder by the common bile duct.  
🗑
Digestive enzymes   show
🗑
show starch + H20 -> maltose  
🗑
show protein + H2O -> peptides  
🗑
Formula for bile salts   show
🗑
Formula for lipase   show
🗑
show Peptides + H2O -> amino acids  
🗑
Formula for maltase   show
🗑
show Produced by the pancreas, acts in the small intestine, optimum pH is neutral, turns starch to maltose  
🗑
show Produced by the small intestine, acts in the small intestine, optimum pH is basic, turns maltose to glucose  
🗑
Pepsin   show
🗑
show Produced by the pancreas, acts in the small intestine optimum pH is basic, turns proteins to peptides  
🗑
Peptidases   show
🗑
show Produced in the pancreas, acts in the small intestine, optimum pH is basic, turns RNA and DNA to nucleotides  
🗑
Nucleosidasis   show
🗑
Lipase   show
🗑
show 37 degrees Celsius  
🗑
show 1 to 2  
🗑
show 7.4-7.8  
🗑
Stomach ulcers   show
🗑
Diarrhea   show
🗑
Crohn's disease   show
🗑
show Dry and hard feces. May be because the person inhibits the defecation reflex. Can lead to development of hemorrhoids. Can be reversed by increasing intake of water and fiber  
🗑
show Enlarged and inflamed blood vessels of the anus  
🗑
show Small growths in the epithelial lining. Detected during a colonoscopy. May be cancerous  
🗑
Colon cancer   show
🗑
show Inflammation of pancreas. May be caused by alcohol, gallstones that block the pancreatic duct. In chronic cases, digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas damage pancreas and surrounding tissues. May cause diabetes by inhibiting insulin secretion.  
🗑
show Almost always fatal because of the essential functions of the pancreas. Pancreas is resistant to disease treatment and allows spread to other organs.  
🗑
Diabetes mellitus   show
🗑
Jaundice   show
🗑
Hepatitus   show
🗑
show Chronic disease of the liver, often seen in alcoholics as alcohol is a toxin to the liver. Liver is infiltrated with fat and liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue. Treatment is liver transplant  
🗑
show Cholesterol in the bile come out of the solution and form crystals, the crystals grow and form gallstones. Block the common bile duct. If they cannot be removed, gallbladder must be removed. Common for people who have recently lost significant weight  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
