ch 25 and 26 practice test Flashcards
1
Q
- digestive process begins with the ingestion of food
- starting in the mouth the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food is referred to as digestion
- once foods are broken down into chemical monomers the digestive system moves nutrients from the GI tract into the cells of the body via absorption
- indigestable residues along with some of the non-reabsorbed secretion of digestive organs, undergo compaction
- the final step requires defecation where the fecal matter resulting from compaction is excreted from the body
A
2
Q
accessory organ
A
- gallbladder
- salivary gland
- tooth
- liver
3
Q
part of the digestive tract
A
- colon
- duodenum
- buccal cavity
- rectum
- ileum
- jejunum
4
Q
parts of the buccal cavity
A
- foliate papillae
- gingivae
- submandibular ducts
- labial frenulum
5
Q
parts of the stomach
A
- gastric pits
- fundus
- gastric rugae
- pylorus
- greater curvature
- three muscle layers
6
Q
function of hydrochloric acid
A
- converts iron to an absorbable form
- activates pepsin and lingual lipase
- destroys most ingested pathogens
- breaks up connective tissues and cell walls of plants
7
Q
function of pepsin
A
- digests proteins
- auocatalytic
- active form of a zymogen
8
Q
function of gastric lipase
A
- digests fat in the stomach
9
Q
function of intrinsic factor
A
- essential to the absorption of vitamin B12
- dysfunction could causes pernicious anemia
10
Q
- during the gastric phase food stretched the stomach and activates myenteric and vagovagal reflexes
- these reflexes stimulate gastric secretions
- these secretion include gastrin, pepsinogen, and HCl
- these process will continue in a positive feedback cycle until the phase is complete
- small peptides buffer stomach acid so the pH does not fall excessively low
A
11
Q
carbohydrate
A
- salivary amylase
- maltase
- sucrase
12
Q
lipid
A
- lingual lipase
- pancreatic lipase
- gastric lipase
13
Q
protein
A
- pepsin
- chymotrypsin
- carboxypeptidase
14
Q
- the absorption of carbs from the intestinal lumen occurs directly through secondary active transport
- sodium-potassium pumps in the basal membrane work to actively transport sodium out the cell towards the interstitium while cotransporting potassium to the intracellular fluid
- with a declining intracellular concentration of sodium, sodium now diffuses from the intestinal lumen to the ICF of the epithelium
- the luminal diffusion of sodium to the ICF is coupled with glucose and galactose cotransport into the cell
A
15
Q
what is the outermost layer of the digestive tract
A
serosa
16
Q
in which direction do the peristalic contraction of the stomach’s smooth muscle move contents
A
from the body to the pyloric region
17
Q
what is the mechanical and chemical breakdown of food called
A
digestion
18
Q
which of the hormones does NOT inhibit gastric gland secretions
A
gastrin
19
Q
which occurs during the gastric phase of gastric secretion
A
- gastric secretion begins
- the secretion of hydrochloric acid and pepsin is stimulated
- gastric secretion and motility is stimulated in response to food increasing the pH of the stomach’s contents
20
Q
which inhibits the secretion of the gastric glands
A
duodenal pH of less than two
