2nd 20 Flashcards
Layers of peritoneum attached to the
stomach
Lesser Omentum
Greater Omentum
This attaches the liver to the lesser curvature
This attaches the greater curvature to the posterior body wall
Lesser Omentum
Greater Omentum
Delivers chyme (processed food) to the
small intestine
Stomach
produce a sticky alkaline mucus
secrete gastric juice
This produce protein-digesting enzymes (pepsinogens)
produce hydrochloric acid
produce gastrin
Mucous neck cells
Gastric glands
Chief Cells
Parietal Cells
Endocrine cells
Glands and specialized cells are in the?
Gastric Gland Region
The body’s major digestive organ and Site of nutrient absorption into the blood
Small Intestine
Attached to the stomach and Curves around the head of the pancreas
Attaches anteriorly to the duodenum
Extends from jejunum to large intestine
Duodenum
Jejunum
Illeum
(subdivisions of small intestine)
Attached to the stomach and Curves around the head of the pancreas
Attaches anteriorly to the duodenum
Extends from jejunum to large intestine
Duodenum
Jejunum
Illeum
(subdivisions of small intestine)
This Help complete digestion of starch
Pancreatic Amylase
numerous permanent circular folds of mucous membrane found in the small intestine especially in the lower part of the duodenum and the jejunum are called
Plicae Circulares
Responsible for fat digestion
Digest nucleic acids
Alkaline content neutralizes blank blank
Lipase
Nucleases
Acidic Chyme
produce mucus to act as a lubricant
Goblet Cells
Absorption of water and Eliminates indigestible food from the body as feces
Large Intestine
Substances are transported to the liver
by the
Hepatic portal vein or lymph
Most substances are absorbed by active
transport through
Cell Membranes
