Ch 24 Flashcards
How does pH change through GI tract?
Mouth neutral
Mumps
parotoid salivary gland infected with the mump virus
- Can attack one side OR both
- Characterized by extreme swelling, fever, throat pain, and malaise (low energy)
- More severe in males in fertility years, can descend to testicles causing infertility (usually just to one testicle)
Salivation process controlled by
ANS
Two components of digestive system
GI tract
Acesssory organs
6 basic processes of digestion
Ingestion
Secretion
mixing and propulsion
Digestion (Mechanical and chemical)
Absorption
Defactation
Secretion in GI tract
All the enzymes and acids released to chemically digest food
Absorption
The nutrition in the food that we’ve broke down is going from the GI tract into either blood or lymphatic fluid.
- Only thing that goes from small intestine into lymph fluid are long chain proteins.
- Abt 95% of absorption from small intestine.
Most absorption occurs where
Small instesine (95%)
Defecation
residual tissue or breakdown products that can’t be absorbed
Urination: Fluid elimination
- Fiber that can’t be absorbed
The layers of the GI tract
Mucosa
Submucosa
Muscularis
Serosa
Same 4 thorughout, but structure varies
Mucosa layer
Epithelium
For absorption will be simple cuboidal
Regenerative ability of cuboidal tissue 5-8 days
b) Lamina Propria means connective tissue
Everytime there’s an epitheleal layer there’s also a
Connective tissue layer
MALT
(Mucosa Associated Lymphatic Tissue): Clusters of lymphatic nodules (Not nodes) part of the immunity protection system.
- Name came from the fact that nodules located in mucosa tissue
Located in the lamina propria of mucosa layer
Muscularis mucosae
(smooth muscle)
- Produce ridges or folds which help with propulsion and surface area
part of mucosa layer
Submucosa
Where the nutrients have to travel to be absorbed if in the small intestine
- Lot of blood and lymphatic vessels
Muscularis
Typically a circular AND longitudinal layer (In stomach there’s a third layer called the oblique
Includes Voluntary function of skeletal muscle when swallowing
What is the extra layer of musclarais that exists in only one location (where)?
Oblique layer in the stomach
Serosa layer
Outer layer, on top of organs in the abdominopelvic cavity
- Areolar connective tissue
- Simple squamous
How do 4 layers of GI Tract change from mouth to anus
2 main networks of the ENS
- Myenteric plexus
Submucosal plexus
Myenteric plexus
Helps primarily with motility = mixing and pushing food forward (Bw circular and longitudinal layer)
Submucosal plexus
Predominantly involved in secretion
Why would someone get stomach ache on first day of school?
Sympathetic system dominating more than parasymp
Largest serous membrane in the body
Peritoneum
1.) Parietal Peritoneum
Membrane portion that lines the abdominal cavity (epithelial tissue)
Peritoneal cavity
Bw parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum
Small amount of fluid
Excess fluid in peritoneal cavity
Interferes with digestion and be site for infection
2.) Visceral Peritoneum
Membrane covering the organs
5 Peritoneal folds
Greater Omentum
2) Falciform Ligament
3) Lesser Omentum
4) Mesentery
5) Mesocolon
- Peritonitis
- Acute inflammation, taking up residence, fluid is excessive
- Vestibule
Entrance to mouth
Hard pallate
Anterior Roof of the mouth – it is bone
- Separates oral cavity (mouth) from nasal cavity
Soft pallate
Posterior roof of mouth
lined with mucous, typically muscle
Last site that the skull fuses
Midline in the mouth
What is a cleft palate
Improper fusion of the hard palate midline
Uvula purpose
- Supposed cover nasal pharynx during time when person is swallowing
- Doesn’t work when talking and eating well
What is the begining of chemical digestion
Saliva
What is saliva
99% water
Antibodies and enzymes
Breaks down carbs and starch
Ideal pH for mouth
6.35-6.85
Parotid glands
Beside ear
Sublingual glands
Under tongue
Submandibular glands
Under mandible
What type of glands are the salivary glands
Exocrine
Purpose of intrinsic muscles in tongue
Help change shape
Papillae
Elevations on tongue, taste buds
Some have tactile purpose
Lingual glands
producing lipase (enzyme_) that works on fats
Lingual lipase
Enzyme digesting fat (Lipids) not activated until the stomach
Enamel of teeth
top surface
Good dental health linked to
Cognitive functions
Gingivae
Gums
3 parts of tooth
Crown, root, neck
Pulp and dentin
Location of blood and lymp vessels and nerves
Deciduous teeth
Appear from 6 months to 12 yrs
Mastication
Chewing
Taste is improved with
More chewing
Bolus
Broken down food mixed with saliva
Salivary amalayse
most important in mouth, helps break down carbs and starch
- Without enough chewing and mixing this doesn’t happen
Deglutition
Swallowing
3 phases of swallowing
From mouth to oropharynx - Voluntary (1)
From oropharynx to esophagus - involuntary (2)
From esophagus to stomach - involuntary (3)
- Upper Esophageal Sphincter
(Circular muscle): Regulates bolus from throat into esophagus.
Muscle in swallowing that older adults can lose use of
- Esophageal Stage and Peristalsis
- Lower esophageal Sphincter
Controls bolus from esophagus into the stomach
Heart burn is a problem with
lower esophageal sphincter
pH in stomach
2
When stomach burns itself it is called an
ulcer
What protects stomach from the acid
mucous layer
What decreases ability for lower esophageal sphincter to close
- Smokers, coffee drinkers, and chocolate can cause decrease in the ability for lower sphincters to close and thus heart burn
Anatomy of stomach
Cardia
Fundus
body
Pylorus
Pyloric Antrum
Pyloric canal
Pyloric Sphincter
Cardia of stomach
Where esophagus joins stomach (threshold)
Fundus of stomach
first part of stomach AFTER the cardia
Pylorus
(anything CLOSE to the small instestine)
- Wants smaller doses of food going into small intestines at once
Pyloric antrum
trainglular area CLOSE to the small intestine
