Ch.23: Digestive System Part 2 Flashcards
The smooth lining is dotted with millions of deep ______ _____, which lead into tubular gastic glands that produce the stomach secretion called gastric juice
Gastric pits
Four types of secretory cells
- mucous neck cells
- parietal cells
- chief cells
- enteroendocrine cells
Characteristics of Mucous neck cells
- scattered in the neck
- produce a thin soluble mucus (acidic)
Characteristics of Parietal Cells
- secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor
- HCL makes the stomach content acidic, activation of the enzyme pepsin.
- digest and break down and kill bacteria
- absorption of vitamin b12
Characteristics of Chief cells
- produce pepsinogen, inactivated form of pepsin
- secrete lipase (fat-digesting enzymes)
Characteristics of Enteroendocrine cells
- release a variety of chemical messengers directly into the interstinal fluid of the lamina propria
- histamine, serotonin, gastrin
________ a hormone that plays essential role in regulating stomach secretion and motility
gastrin
It mounts an aggressive counterattack to protect itself, producing _________, THREE FACTORS CREATE THIS BARRIER: -thick coating of bicarbonate rich mucus
- epithelial cell lining
- ability to regenerate fairly quickly
Mucosal barrier
________ _______ begins in the stomach and is the main type of enzymatic breakdown that occurs there. HCL produced by the stomach glands denatures diatary protein in preparation for enzymatic secretion
Protein digestion
________, secreted by the stomach, acts as an enzyme that acts on milk protein(casein), converting it to acurdy substance that looks like soured milk
Rennin
______ ______ released by the minor salivary glands may digest some triglycerides in the stomach before the lipase itself is digested
Lingual lipase
Two common lipid-soluble substances are _______ and _________ , may cause gastric bleeding.
Alcohol and aspirin
________ ______ is required for intestinal absorption of vitamin b12, needed to produce mature erythrocytes.
Intrinsic factor
_____ triggers the stomach cells to release hormone gastrin,
Ach
the _______ or reflex phase of gastrin secretion occurs BEFORE food enters the stomach. Triggered by the aroma, taste sight, or thought of food and it gets the stomach ready for its upcoming digestive chore
cephalic phase
