25
Esophagus
transportsfood from the pharynx to the stomach
26
Diaphragm
esophageal hiatus
27
Stomach
J shaped organ
28
Rugae
inner folds that allow the stomach to expand
29
Functions of the stomach
receive, mix, start protein digestion, minimal absorption
30
Parts of the stomach
Cardiac region, fundus, body, pylorus
31
Cardiac region
near esophagus
32
Fundus
upper part of the stomach
33
Body
main and largest part of the stomach
34
Pylorus
lower narrow portion with sphincter
35
Chief cells
(peptic) pepsinogen for protein. on contact with HCL converts to pepsin
36
Parietal cells
HCL and intrinsic factor
37
HCL
destroys bacteria | Activates pepsinogen
38
Mucous cells
(goblet) mucous for protection
39
Gastric juice
mucous cells + chief cells + parietal cells = gastric juice
40
Vagal nerve
(para) stimulates gastric juice and gastrin release
41
Acid
in small intestine triggers sympathetics to inhibit gastric juice
42
Cholecystokinin
presence of fats and proteins in the small intestine stimulate the release of cholecystokinin. decreases gastric motility and the release of pancreas juice
43
Chyme
semifluid paste
44
First part of the small intestine
Duodenum
45
Cholecystokinin (simple terms)
slows down gastric motility increases pancreatic juice increase bile
46
Vagal Nerve (simple terms)
Increase gastric juice | Gastrin release
47
Pancreas
Endorcrine and digestive system
48
amylase
starch/glycogen into disaccharides
49
lipase
fats
50
nucleasaes
nucleic acids (dna and rna)
51
insulin
cellular uptake of glucose
52
glucagons
release of glucose from the liver
53
Functions of the Liver
``` Forms bile Storage of glucose/glycogen Deaminating amino acids Removes toxins from blood Remove RBC Forming urea Amino Acid conversion ```
54
Bile
emulsifies so lipases can digest the fat molecules
55
gallbladder
stores bile
56
Emulsification
break fat into smaller pieces of fat
57
Small intestine function
absorption and chemical digestion
58
Intestinal villi
finger-like projections
59
Plicae Circulares
Circular folds that increase surface area
60
Chylomicron
fatty acids collected clusters and encased in proteins
61
Proteins breakdown into?
amino acids
62
Fats breakdown into?
fatty acids, glycerols
63
Carbs breakdown into?
monosac.
64
Large intestine parts
cecum colon rectum anal canal with anus
65
cecum
pouch like at beginning of LI
66
Colon
Ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid
67
rectum
anterior to sacrum, temp storage for wastes
68
Functions of LI
reabsorption of water, bile, salts vitamin synthesis Feces elimination
69
Diverticulosis
the wall weakens and inner mucus membranes protrudes primary from a lack of fiber
70
Feces
undigested/unabsorbed material, water, mucus, bacteria
