18
Q

How does food move through the esophagus?

A

Peristalsis

19
Q

Peristalsis

A

A wavelike series of muscular contractions and relaxations

20
Q

Esophageal Sphincter

A

Controls entry to stomach and prevents acidic contents of stomach from backing up into the esophagus

21
Q

3 Functions of stomach

A
  1. Storage
  2. Digestion
  3. Pushing food into the small intestine
22
Q

Pyloric Sphincter

A

Controls exit of the stomachs contents into the small intestine

23
Q

How is chyme produced?

A

Small pieces of food + gastric juice

24
Q

Function of gastric juice

A

Responsible for chemical digestion of stomach

25
Q

What makes up gastric juice?

A 
Water
Mucus
Salts
HCl
Enzymes
26
Q

pH of HCl

27
Q

Function of HCl

A
  1. Acidic environment begins to soften and break down proteins in chyme
  2. Kills most bacteria
28
Q

3 methods of protection in stomach

A
  1. Secretes gastric juice until food is present
  2. Secrete mucus which protects stomach lining from gastric juice
  3. Produces pepsin which remains inactive until HCl is present
29
Q

Segmentation

A

Chyme sloshes back and forth between segments of the small intestine while food is pushed along by peristalsis

30
Q

Function of small intestine

A

Complete digestion of macromolecules and to absorb their component subunits

31
Q

3 Regions of small intestine

A
  1. Duodenum
  2. Jejunum
  3. Ileum
32
Q

Duodenum

A

Site for chemical digestion of the chyme received from the stomach

33
Q

Function of Jejunum and ileum

A

Absorb nutrients and to push the remaining undigested material into the large intestine

34
Q

Function of lymph vessels

A

Conduct absorbed substances from the small intestine into the bloodstream and the lymphatic system

35
Q

Function of pancreas

A

Delivers pancreatic fluid to duodenum

36
Q

What enzymes are in pancreatic fluid?

A

Trypsin
Pancreatic amylase
Lipase

37
Q

Function of trypsin, pancreatic amylase and lipase

A

Trypsin: digest protein
Pancreatic amylase: digests starch in small intestine
Lipase: digests fat

38
Q

What happens after enzymes from pancreas are released into duodenum?

A
  1. Activated by enzymes secreted from lining
  2. Digest proteins
  3. Bicarbonate neutralizes HCl and gives chyme pH of 8
39
Q

Function of liver

A

Secretes bile

40
Q

Function of bile salts

A

Assists lipase in digesting fats because they are partly soluble in water and partly soluble in fats

41
Q

Function of gallbladder

A

Stores bile

42
Q

How is bile injected into the duodenum ?

A

Fat-containing chyme causes gallbladder to contract and bile is sent through a duct to the duodenum

43
Q

Function of carbohydrases

A

Digest carbs

44
Q

Function of lipases

A

Digest fats

45
Q

Function of proteases

A

Digest larger polypeptides

46
Q

Function of nucleases

A

Digest nucleic acid
