Brunner’s glands

30
Q

Endocrine cells in the duodenal wall produce _______ and _______.

A

Cholectystokinin. Secretin. (Feedback loop: shut off).

31
Q

The duodenum is responsible for the absorption of ______ and______.

A

Iron. Calcium

32
Q

What is the main digestive function of the pancreas?

A

Secrete the enzymes that break down the macromolecules in food, producing smaller nutrient molecules for intestinal absorption.

33
Q

Pancreatic________create the pancreatic enzymes.

A

Acinar cells.

34
Q

Pancreatic _________cells secrete bicarbonate.

A

35
Q

What is required to activate zymogens and where is it activated?

A

Trypsin. Small intestine.

36
Q

What does bile do?

A

It facilitates the assimilation of dietary lipid by promoting its emulsification and solubilization. (Emulsifies lipids and binds with a lot of things in the kidneys.)

-provides a pathway to excrete hydrophobic molecules that may not be readily excreted by the kidney.

37
Q

Bile is an ________solution.

A

41
Q

What are micelles of bile salts?

A

Long-chain fatty acids, cholesterol, and other hydrophobic molecules at the center.

42
Q

What is the main component of bile pigments?

A

Bilirubin-made from the breakdown of hemoglobin

43
Q

_______% of bile salts are reabsorbed.

A

95

44
Q

Bile acids are secreted by______, delivered to the GI tract via the _______, absorbed by the _______, and then returned to the liver via the _______________.

A

45
Q

Transverse folds in the mucosa are called:

Plicae circulares

46
Q

The villus epithelium consists of ______, ________,and________.

Q

The Jejunum and Ileum absorb:

A

Carbohydrates, protein, fat, salts, and water.

Q

Functions of the large intestine:

2) Submucous plexus (Meissen plexus)-secretions

60
Q

“The little brain”

A

The enteric nervous system-100 million sensory neurons.

61
Q

Increases smooth muscle activity.

A

Parasympathetic cholinergic activity from autonomic nervous system.

62

64
Q

All blood from the intestines and pancreas drain via the ________to the liver.

A

Portal vein

68
Q

Kupffer cells have highly active________
