Ch 21 Flashcards
This branch of the nervous system is housed completely in the GI region
Enteric
This term gastro refers to this structure
Stomach
The chemical and mechanical breakdown of food into absorbable units is called
Digestion
The general term for movement of material in the gastrointestinal tract caused by smooth muscle contraction is
Motility
Movement of substances from cells into the gastrointestinal tract is called
Secretion
Movement of substances from the gastrointestinal tract into the extracellular fluid is called
Absorption
This type of smooth muscle activity occurs in order to help mix the contents in the GI tract
Segmentation
Or segmental contraction
These structures in the mucosa of the GI tract are part of the gut associated lymphoid tissue (Galt) which contain immune system cells to protect from pathogens
Peyers patches
The substance made up of the ingested food and secretions from the stomach is called
Chyme
The mass of food that is moved along the GI tract is called a
Bolus
Progressive waves of contractions that move through sections of the GI tract are called
Peristalsis
To swallow
Deglutition
To chew
Mastication.
To take in food or drink is called
Ingestion
Removal of material from the body
Elimination
This phase of digestion occurs from stimulus such as sight smell taste of food and initiates food forward response
Cephalic phase
This phase of digestion is when food enters stomach and initiates short reflexes
Gastric phase
This phase of digestion is when chime enters the small intestines and chemical digestion starts
Intestinal phase
These cells secrete enzymes into the stomach
Chief cells
The pH of the gastric juice is approximately
2
A proton pump inhibitor would act on transporters and these cells of the stomach
Parietall cells
This enzyme breaks peptide bonds
Pepsin
These gastric cells secrete hydrochloric acid into the lumen of the stomach
Parietall cells
These cells use histamine as a paracrine In the gastric lining
Ecl cells
These cells secrete mucus and bicarbonate into the stomach
Mucous neck cells
Secretions from these cells play a critical role in negative feedback loop that regulate the secretion of acid into the stomach
D cells
That is packaged with cholesterol and protein to form this absorbable substance
Chylomicron
This enzyme breaks the bonds holding fatty acids to glycerol
Lipase
This enzyme breaks the bonds holding fatty acids to glycerol
Lipase
This secretion contains salts that can help break apart large fat globs into droplets
Bile
This substance is secreted by cells of the duodenum and pancreas to neutralize the pH of the chime entering from the stomach
Bicarbonate
The category of brush border enzymes that digest sucrose lactose and maltose are collectively called
Disaccharidases
This category of enzymes breaks internal bonds in a peptide chain
Endopeptidase
This enzyme activates pancreatic zymogens in small intestines
Trypsin
A pancreatic enzyme that is secreted in its inactive form is called a
Zymogen
Aminopeptidase and carboxypeptidase fall into this category of enzymes
Exopeptidase
Break off outside of chain
Absorbed fat enters the _____
Lymph
During absorption this transporter moves fructose across the luminal membrane of the intestinal mucosa cell
GLUT5
This transporter moves monosaccharides across the basilateral membrane of the intestinal mucosa cell
GLUT2
