5.1 Flashcards
1
Q
main Physiological functions of the GI system
A
- mechanical
- secretion
- absorption
- excretion
- immune
2
Q
Assimilation of nutrients
A
- AA, monosacarides, FA
- Fluids
- Electrolytes
- Trace elements
- Vitamins
3
Q
Digestion is composed of:
A
- Mechanical disruption
2. Chemical degragation
4
Q
How does the GI tract serves the Assimilation of nutrients?
A
- Motility
- Secretion
- Chemiacl digestion
- Absorption
5
Q
STOMACH-
- Motility
- Secretion
- Chemiacl digestion
- Absorption
A
- Motility= peristaltic mixing
- Secretion= HCl, Pepsinogen, Gastric lipase, HCO3-, Gastrin, Histamin
- Chemiacl digestion= Proteins, fats
- Absorption= Alcohol, Aspirin
6
Q
Role of Spincters?
A
- They maintain positive pressure in their lumens
- Regulate the caudal movement of bowel
7
Q
Accsessory glands?
A
salivary
Liver
Gallbladder
Pancreas
8
Q
Paneth cells release?
A
Antimicrobial peptides
9
Q
GALT components
A
Paneth cells
Payer’s patches
10

whos responsible for chewing and swallowing?
A
CNS
11
Q
Submucosal plexus=
A
meissner’s
12
Q
ENS from where to where?
A
lower 1/3 of esophagus until outer rectal spincter
13
Q
ENS local control on?
A
- motility
- secretion
- blood flow
- immune responce
14
Q
types of ENS neurons
A
Afferent neurons
Interneurons
Efferent neurons
15
Q
Efferent neurons of ENS innervates
A
- Enteric smooth muscle
- Interstitial cells of Cajal
- Epithelial cells
- Endocrine and paracrine cells
- Vascular cells
