ch 25 and 26 test review Flashcards
spleen is NOT involved in
digestion
gallbladder Is involved in
digestion
cecum is the beginning of the
large intestine
what is voluntary of the digestive system
- chewing
- swallowing
- defecating (holding it in)
what is involuntary of the digestive system
- everything after swallowing
- defecating if you really have to go
alimentary canal
- mouth
- pharynx
- esophagus
- stomach
- small intestines
- large intestines
accessory organs
- teeth
- tongue
- salivary glands
- liver
- gallbladder
- pancreas
saliva measured by
brain
salivation amount is determined by how much water is needed to
break down the food
* brain calculates how much you need
5 stages of digestion
5 stages of digestion
- ingestion
- digestion
- absorption
- compaction
- defecation
5 stages of digestion
- ingestion
selective food intake
5 stages of digestion
- digestion
mechanican and chemical breakdown of food into a form usable by the body
5 stages of digestion
- absorption
uptake of nutrient molecules into the epithelial cells of the digestive tract and then into the blood and lymph
5 stages of digestion
- compaction
absorbing water and consolidaitng the indigestable residue into feces
5 stages of digestion
- defecation
elimination of feces
digestion
mouth
- more than 700 microorganisms; almost 1/2 bacteria
- teeth: chewing (mastication)
- tongue: taste, push to swallow, move food around
- salivary glands
mechanical digestion
- cutting or grinding action of teeth
- churning action of stomach and small intestines
- exposes more food surface to digestive enzymes
chemical digestion
- series of hydrolysis reaction that breaks down dietary molecules into their monomers
- carried out by digestive enzymes produces by salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, small intestine
products of chemical digestion
- polysaccharides into monosaccharides
- proteins into amino acids
- fats into monoglycerides and fatty acids
- nucleic acids into nucleotides NOT NUTRIENT DNA
digestive tract wall consisting of layers
- mucosa: epithelium, lamina propria, muscularis mucosae
- submucosa
- muscularis externa: inner circular layer, outer longitudinal layer
- serosa: areolar tissue, mesothelium
teeth
- kids have 20
- adults have 32
- occlusion: meeting of the teeth when mouth is closed
- occlusal surfaces: of premolars and molars have cusps (bumps) that aid in grinding during chewing
chemical composition of saliva
- mucus: binds and lubricates a mass of food and aids in swallowing
- electrolytes: salts of Na, K, Cl, phosphate, bicarbonate
- lysozyme: enzyme that kills bacteria
- immunoglobulin A (IgA): antimicrobial antibody
- salivary amylase: enzyme that beings starch digestion in the mouth
- lingual lipase: enzyme that begins fat digestion in the mouth (mainly after food is swallowed)
serous cells
mucus cells
serous cells: outside, water, jello like
mucus cells: inside
