A

superior constrictor muscles of the pharynx

25
Q

where is the sensory signal for the swallowing center

A

medulla

26
Q

what occurs when the UES closes what occurs

A

LES opens

27
Q

what initiates peristalsis between longitudinal musculature on outer aspect and inner circular ring musculature

A

stretch receptors

28
Q

what are the layers of the muscularis

A

oblique muscle layer
circular muscle layer
longitudinal muscle layer

29
Q

What is the purpose of the stomach

A

short-term storage reservoir
secretion of intrinsic factor
chemical and enzymatic digestion initiated

30
Q

what is food liquidized into

A

chyme

31
Q

what is absorbed in the stomach

A

alcohol and NSAIDs

32
Q

what causes rhythmic depolarization going toward the pylorus to mix the food in the stomach

A

pacemaker cells

33
Q

what is the cephalic phase

A

stimulation que of food

34
Q

What is the gastric phase

A

60% of acid secretion when the food hits the stomach - increases pH

35
Q

what is the intestinal phase

A

10% of acid secretion
initial movement of food into small intestines

36
Q

what are the primary area of gastric juice secretion

A

gastric pits

37
Q

what is the pH of pepsin

A

pH of 2

38
Q

what are the cell types within the stomach

A

Goblet cells- mucus
parietal cells - gastric acid
chief cells - pepsinogen
D Cells - somatostatin
G cells - gastrin

39
Q

what secretess hydrochloric acid

A

parietal cells

40
Q

what does hydrochloric acid break down

A

proteins into amino acids
-acidic environment is inhospitable to bacteria

41
Q

how much food/fluids can the stomach hold

A

about 1.5L

42
Q

where is bile produced

A

in the liver

43
Q

what is bile and pancreatic enzymes released through

A

spincter of Oddi

44
Q

what stimulates the release of bile/pancreatic enzymes

A

secretin which is released by duodenum

45
Q

what does bile assist with

A

emulsifies fats into droplets which increases its surface area for further breakdown

46
Q

what is the exocrine pancreas made up of

A

acini cells - and secrete into ductal system

47
Q

what does secretin promote

A

ductal cells to release aqueous secretion

48
Q

what does amylase break down

A

starches and glycogen

49
Q

what does lipase break down

A

fats

50
Q

what makes up the small intestin

A

duodenum
jejunum
ileum

51
Q

what is the purpose of the small intestine

A

primary site of chemical digestion and nutrient absorption
vast absorptive surface

52
Q

what is the Ligament of Treitz

A

separates jejunum from duodenum

53
Q

what is the purpose of the circular inner musculature

A

segmentations

54
Q

what is the purpose of the longitudinal outer layer of musculature

A

peristalsis

55
Q

where does absorption occur

A

within the villi
covered in microvilli
together = brush border
