25
Q

Esophagus

A

passes through diaphragm to stomach- gastroesophageal sphincter prevent acid reflux GERD

26
Q

Top outer curve of stomach

A

fundus

27
Q

Bottom outward curve of stomach

A

great curvature

28
Q

Top inward curve of stomach

A

lesser curvature

29
Q

Small top outward curve

A

Pylorus

30
Q

Region close to pyloric sphincter

A

Pyloric region

31
Q

Connects pylorus to duodenum

A

Pyloric sphincter

32
Q

Allows stomach to expand/contract

A

pleats called rugae

33
Q

Layer of stomach that churns fewd

A

3rd layer- oblique muscles

34
Q

Chyme

A

mixture of food, gastric juices, saliva in stomach; ejected through pyloric sphincter

35
Q

Secretory cells in stomach

A

-mucous (thin)
-chief pepsin=protease
-parietal-HCl=break protein down to digest/absorb
make up gastric juice^^
-mucous(thick) protect stomach from HCl-ulcers

36
Q

Hiatal hernia

A

If opening in diaphragm the espophagus enters thru is weakened/enlarged, stomach protrudes/ herniates from abdominal -> thoracic cavity

37
Q

Nasogastric tube

A

empties stomach to prevent vomiting; abdominal wall->stomach food tube- gastrostomy

38
Q

Gastric Resection (gastrectomy)

A

cant regulate rate the chyme is delivered to the duodenum. chyme is dumped into duodenum, since there is no stomach= dumping syndrome

39
Q

Pyloric stenosis

A

during infancy, the pylorus is too narrow, food cant move out of stomach;characterized by projectile vomiting immediately after feeding

40
Q

Duodenum

A

10” where most of digestion/absorption takes place

41
Q

Villi/ microvilli

A

increase surface area for nutrient absorption; blood capillary and lacteal for lymph

42
Q

Carbohydrates and protein end products ->

A

nutrients absorbed thru duodenal wall->vein of villi->portal vein->liver for processing

43
Q

End products for fat digestion

A

absorbed by lacteal in villi->white lymph->chyle->lymphatic system

44
Q

Small intestine secretes

A

lipase, protease, amylase, disaccharidoses

45
Q

other 2 sections of small intestine

A

jejunum-> ileum (ileocecal valve) -> cecum (large instestine)

46
Q

Large intestine

A

Ileocecal valve-> anus;ascending (hepatic flexure) transverse (splenic flexure) descending , sigmoid colon; absorbs water; contains e coli; 30% of feces is bacteria

47
Q

Twisted intestine

A

Volvulus

48
Q

Colostomy

A

incision to colon/re-routing colon to surface of abdomen

49
Q

Veins that drain anal region become stretched and distorted

A

varicosities

50
Q

Liver (hepatic) accessory organ

A

Largest organ; partially protected by ribs; produces bile; hepatic portal circulation-process nutrients

51
Q

Hepatic portal curculation

A

blood collected from hepatic artery and portal vein taken through central vein; bile produced by liver cells->bile ducts-> stored in gall bladder

52
Q

Bile salts and pigments

A

bile salts- emulsify fats; pigments formed from breakdown of hemoglobin that couldnt be reused

53
Q

Gallstone=

A

blocks bile from getting to duodenum= grey/clay colored stools; jaundice= backup of bile pigments in blood stream

54
Q

Where the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct meet

A

Ampulla of Vater

55
Q

Gallbladder

A

stores bile that liver produces

56
Q

CCK

A

Cholecystokinin causes the release of bile from the cystic duct->common bile duct-> duodenum

57
Q

Stones in gallbladder

A

Cholecystitis

58
Q

Pancreas

A

(exocrine) ->pancreatic duct->pancreatic juice-has enzymes and alkaline secretions

59
Q

Digestive enzymes are secreted by

A

Acinar cells in pancreas

60
Q

carbs
proteins
fat

A

carbs-amylase
proteins-proteases- trypsin and chymotrypsin
fat-lipase
secreted inactive form; activated in duodenum, work best in alkaline ph

61
Q

Response to acidic chyme

A

secretin released from duodenal walls -> Alkaline secretions to neutralize

62
Q

Chyme results in a

A

secretion of cholecystokinin from duodenal walls to break down fat/protein
