Digestive

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show ingestion, digestion, absorption, compaction, defecation  
🗑
ingestion   show
🗑
show mechanical & chemical breakdown of food  
🗑
show uptake of macromolecules into epithelial cells of the digestive tract and then into the blood or lymph  
🗑
compaction   show
🗑
defecation   show
🗑
accessory organs   show
🗑
peritoneum   show
🗑
layers of digestive tract=   show
🗑
mucosa   show
🗑
submucosa   show
🗑
show • 2 layers: inner circular layer (makes lumen SMALLER at that place) • outer longitudinal layers (runs top to bottom along length) o when contracts, tube gets SHORTER but WIDER • propel food from visceral tract  
🗑
show • In visceral peritoneum • Secrete serous fluids  
🗑
show 1. myenteric plexus (PERISTALSIS, contractions of muscularis externa), 2. submucosal plexus (GLANDULAR secretions of mucosa, movements of muscularis mucosae)  
🗑
GI tract stimuli=   show
🗑
GI responses mediated by   show
🗑
GI tract effects=   show
🗑
saliva/ salivary gland functions   show
🗑
show dispersed oral mucosa, All live within MUCOSA, Constantly secreting saliva  
🗑
show three pair connected to oral cavity by ducts; -Parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, Secrete primarily when eating  
🗑
show secrete mucus, stimulated by sympathetic NS  
🗑
serous cells   show
🗑
show muscular tube extending from nasal cavity --> oral cavity --> esophagus; Swallowing (deglutition) begins here; muscles around bolus CONSTRICTS --> cause food to slip down  
🗑
show =swallowing  
🗑
esophagus   show
🗑
show movement of a bolus by successive wave of contraction starting at one place of mouth, moving down  
🗑
show primarily functions as a food storage organ, mechanical digestion liquefies the bolus --> producing CHYME, chemical digestion of protein & fat  
🗑
pyloric sphincter   show
🗑
gastric glands (of stomach) secretes...   show
🗑
why secrete HCl   show
🗑
regenerative (stem cells)   show
🗑
show parietal, regenerative, enteroendocrine, mucous, chief cells  
🗑
show secrete paracrine factors and hormone GASTRIN (G-cells); secretions= HORMONES (gastrin= most important hormone)  
🗑
chief cells   show
🗑
show =vomiting; in response to: overstretching of the stomach or duodenum, chemical irritants (alcohol, bacterial toxins), visceral trauma, intense pain or psychological and sensory stimuli  
🗑
show cephalic phase, gastric phase, intestinal phase  
🗑
show Vagus nerve stimulates gastric secretion even before food is swallowed; originates from head --> no food in stomach required, PREPARES stomach for food  
🗑
gastric phase   show
🗑
intestinal phase   show
🗑
main cell type of liver   show
🗑
show glucose, amino acids, iron, vitamins, and other nutrients for metabolism or storage  
🗑
show hormones, toxins, bile pigments, drugs  
🗑
show glucose, albumin, lipoproteins, clotting factors, angiotensinogen  
🗑
hepatocytes excrete bile:   show
🗑
gallbladder main functions   show
🗑
show bilirubin (excretory product), bile salts (bile acids- steroids synthesized from cholesterol), EMULSIFY FATS (dissolve fats in aqueous solutions w/ hydrophillic & hydrophobic side)  
🗑
gallstones   show
🗑
show proteases (trypsinogen, carboxypeptidase), amylase, lipase, ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease  
🗑
pancreatic juice rich in ________   show
🗑
pancreas: hormones regulating secretion   show
🗑
acetylcholine   show
🗑
show secreted by duodenum in response to FATS; stimulate acini to secrete enzymes, stimulate gallbladder CONTRACTION  
🗑
secretin   show
🗑
duodenum   show
🗑
jejunum   show
🗑
show last 60% of small intestine, thinner less muscular & vascular; lots of LYMPHATIC NODULES (=PEYER PATCHES), contains villi & microvilli; lacteal, absorption of LIPIDS  
🗑
show multicellular projection, blood capillaries of villus absorb most of the nutrients, LACTEAL absorbs most lipids  
🗑
show fuzzy border on apical surface of each absorptive cell: the “brush border” increases absorptive surface area, brush border enzymes carry out some of the FINAL STAGES of enzymatic digestion  
🗑
show gradual movement of contents towards colon  
🗑
show pinching off of a segment, followed by churning within the segment  
🗑
show oligosaccharides, maltose (disaccharide), glucose (monosaccharide)  
🗑
show transmembrane transporters move monosaccarides across cells  
🗑
show =enzymes that digest proteins; begin work in stomach @ pH 1.5- 3.5; pepsin digests 10-15% of dietary protein --> shorter peptides and some free amino acids; pancreatic & brush border enzymes reduce oligopeptides --> amino acids  
🗑
absorption of proteins   show
🗑
show smaller droplets in which fat globules are broken up by lecithin & bile acids; lipids leave micelles --> diffuse into cells --> form chylomicrones secreted/ absorbed by lacteals  
🗑
large intestine functions   show
🗑
show 75% water, 25% solids (bacteria, undigested fiber, fat); also lots of BACTERIA  
🗑
show populate large intestine: 800 species of bacteria; ferment undigested carbohydrates, help in synthesis of vitamin B and K  
🗑
show feces stretch rectum --> stimulate stretch receptors --> signal to spinal cord; spinal reflex --> contraction of rectum --> relaxes internal anal sphincter; impulses from brain prevent untimely defecation by keeping external anal sphincter contracted  
🗑


   

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.
