Ch 41 Pt 2 Flashcards
2 types of digestion
Mechanical and Chemical
Intracellular Digestion
Food particles are engulfed by phagocytosis and liquids by pinocytosis
Extracellular digestion
Specialized compartments that are contiguous with outside of the body
Most common strategy
Crop
Storage site for food, fluid is added
Gizzard
Contains hard materials to help break down food mechanically
Typhosole
Folds in the intestine to increase surface area
Gastric Ceca
(Insects, Birds) storage area used to help break down plant material
Mammals have a rudimentary cecum
Digestion first 10 seconds
Oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus
Food triggers release of saliva
Saliva contains
Mucus, antibacterial agents, salivary amylase, etc
Digestion next few hours
Peristalsis (waves of coordinated muscle contractions)
Stomach stores food and begins chemical breakdown
Stretch receptors
Sensation of fullness
Mucus Cells
Secrete mucus to protect stomach lining
Chief Cells
Secrete pepsinogen
Parietal Cells
Secrete HCl
Ulcers
Generally causes by bacterial infection
Destroy protective mucus lining, allowing gastric juices to penetrate stomach wall
