Q

Where does the blood go after leaving the small intestine?

A

The liver! It gets first dibs on the nutrients absorbed from the intestine

22
Q

What enzymes are bound to the plasma membrane of absorptive epithelial cells of the small intestine?

A

Disaccharides, peptidases and enteropeptidase

23
Q

Enteropeptidase

A

Activates inactive pancreatic enzymes by proteolytic cleavage

24
Q

Absorptive epithelial cells absorb chemically digested foodstuff, entry point for….

A

Glucose, amino acids, lipids…

25
Q

Goblet cells in small intestine

A

In duodenal glands, secrete mucus

26
Q

Enteroendocrine cells

A

Secrete hormones (Secretin, CCK)

27
Q

Paneth cells

A

Activate pancreatic proteases, phagocytize larger food borne materials

28
Q

Exocrine pancreas: Islet or Acinar cells?

A

Acinar

29
Q

Which cells lead to pancreatic cancer?

A

Acinar cells, can digest the tissue around them

30
Q

Acinar cells

A

Secrete digestive enzymes that target the four main biomolecules

31
Q

Acinar cells: Protein

A

Secreate proteases (trypsin and chymotrypsin) secreted as proenzymes

32
Q

What are the proenzymes secreted by acinar cells activated by?

A

Other enzymes residing on small intestine brush border

33
Q

Acinar cells: Carbohydrates

A

Pancreatic amylase: digests starch

34
Q

Acinar cells: Lipids

A

Pancreatic lipase: Digests lipids (triglycerides)

35
Q

Acinar cells: nucleic acids

A

Pancreatic nucleases: Digest DNA and RNA

36
Q

Intercalated duct cells

A

Aqueous component of pancreatic secretions

NaHCO3- neutralizes HCl in duodenum

37
Q

Net effect of pancreatic secretions into intestine

A

Intestine pH rises

Blood pH drops

38
Q

Hepatic portal vein

A

Carries deoxygenated, yet nutrient-rich blood from small intestine directly to the liver

39
Q

Hepatic artery

A

Carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the liver

40
Q

Hepatic duct

A

Carries bile secretions to small intestine

41
Q

What are the cells actually doing the function in the liver called?

A

Hepatocytes

42
Q

Liver functions

A

Bile Production
Detoxification
Nutrient storage, synthesis, delivery

43
Q

What does the liver make?

A

Plasma proteins, albumen, fibrinogen, clotting factors

44
Q

Function of bile

A
  • Buffers stomach acid (NaHCO3)

- Emulsifies fats (bile salts)

45
Q

Liver detoxification

A
  • Amine acid metabolism creates ammonia, requires conversion to urea
  • Metabolize alcohol, drugs, foreign food molecules
46
Q

What does the liver do with vitamins and minerals?

A

Takes them in

47
Q

What does the liver do with cholesterol?

A

Lipoproteins for lipid transport to tissues

48
Q

What is the major secretion of the large intestine?

A

Mucus by goblet cells

49
Q

What is the main role of the large intestine?

A

Reabsorption of salts and water

-Epithelial cells reabsorb salts, water follows by osmosis

50
Q

Colorectal cancer
How deadly?
Precancerous…
Starts where?

A

Second deadliest

  • Precancerous Polyps
  • Starts in crypts
