25
Throat, common passageway for air and food
Pharynx
26
Closes airway temporarily so food will not enter the trachea
Epiglottus
27
Food passes through to stomach by way of
peristaltic contractions thru esophagus, and lower esophageal sphincter
28
Functions of stomach (3)
1) food storage 2) digestion of proteins 3) regulates delivery of partially digested food into small intestine
29
In stomach, breaks down proteins
Gastric Juice
30
Gastric juice is made up of (4)
1) hydrochloric acid 2) Intrinsic factor 3) Mucus 4) Pepsinogen
31
Part of Gastric Juice, pH of 2, breaks down large bits of food
Hydrochloric acid
32
Part of Gastric Juice, needed to absorb vitamin b12
Intrinsic factor
33
Part of Gastric Juice, protects stomach lining from acid
Mucus
34
If mucus is damaged, can cause
peptic ulcur
35
Part of Gastric Juice, converted to pepsin by acid, begins protein breakdown
pepsinogen
36
watery mixture of partially digested food and gastric juice that is delivered to the small intesting
chyme
37
sphincter between esophagus and stomach
esophagael sphincter
38
sphincter between stomach and small intestine
pyloric sphincter
39
how long does it take for stomach to empty
2-6 hrs
40
does stomach absorb nutrients
no, but alchohola and aspirin are
41
Organ that digests food and absorbs nutrients and water
Small intestine
42
Digestion in the small intestine (3)
1) nutralizes acid from stomach 2) breaks down protreins carbs and lipids into monomers 3) adds digestive enzymes and bile
43
Regions of absorption in the small intestine (3)
1) duodenum 2) jejunum 3) ileum
44
in small intestine, increase surface area to facilitate absorption
mucosa adaptations
45
in small intestine, microscopic projections containing blood and lacteal capillaries
villi
46
in small intestine, cytoplasmic projections of epithelial cells of villi
microvilli
47
in small intestine, region of absorption that the most digestion occurs in
duodenum
48
Organ that has exocrine functions, secretes digestive enzymes and sodium bicarbonate to neutralize somach acid
pancreas
49
Digestive enzymes of pancreas (3)
1) proteases 2) pancreatic amylase 3) Lipase
50
Digestive enzyme of pancreas, digests starch
pancreatic amylase
51
Digestive enzyme of pancreas, digests protein
proteases
52
Proteases (3)
1) trypsin 2) chymotrypsin 3) carboxypeptidase
53
Digestive enzyme of pancreas, digests fats (lipids)
lipase
54
Organ that produces bile
Liver
55
Organ that concentrates and stores bile
Galbladder
56
Functions of the liver
metabolic: storage, synthesis, chemical processsing
57
drains blood from the digestive tract to the liver
Hepatic portal system
58
organ that absorbs nutrients and water and eliminates waste
large intestine
59
parts of large intestine
cecum, appendix, colon, rectum, a nus
60
regulation of digestion depends on
volume and content of food
61
stretch receptors in stomach, increase paristealsis and secretion of gastric juice
nervous system
62
Hormones (3)
1) Gastrin 2) Secretin 3) CCK
63
Hormone released by stomach, causes release of gastric juice
Gastrin
64
Hormone triggered by stretching of stomach and presence of protein
Gastrin
65
Hormone released by duodenum, stimulates pancreas to secrete water and bicarbonate
Secretin
66
Hormone released by duodenum, signals pancreas to secrete digestive enzymes and gallbladder to release bile
CCK
67
Hormone that responds to filling stomach
gastrin
68
Hormone that responds to acid
secretin
69
Hormone triggered by presence of acid in chyme
secretin
70
Hormone triggered by fat and protein in chyme
CCK (choleccytstokinin)
