what is the order of the GI tract
mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon, rectum, anus
muscular tube from pharynx to stomach
esophagus
upper 1/3rd esophagus vs lower 1/3rd
upper - skeletal m
lower - smooth m
empty volume stomach vs full volume
empty - 50 mL
full - 1000 mL
thickest muscle layer and produces the strong contractions responsible for gastric mixing and emptying
antrum
secreted by chief cells; precursor of pepsin
pepsinogen
enzyme that digests proteins
pepsin
secreted by parietal cells; maintain acidic environment of stomach
hydrogen ions
secreted by parietal cells; necessary for absorption of B12
intrinsic factor
secreted from G cells (hormone)
gastrin
secreted from neck cells
mucus
pH of the stomach
2
primary site of digestion and absorption
small intestine
three divisions of the small intestine
duodenum, jejunum, and ileum
pancreatic juices enter the
duodenum (bicarbonate to neutralize acidic chyme)
epithelial cells in crypts secrete bicarbonate rich fluid - crypts called
crypts of lieberkuhn

cecum, colon, and rectum
concentrates wastes into feces, absorbs most water

what enzymes are present in saliva
salivary amylase and lysozyme
___ portion of pancreas produces pancreatic juice
exocrine
secretes more protein than any other tissue in the body
pancreas
enzymes present in pancreas
pancreatic amylase and lipase, proteases, nucleases
(liver) glucose ->
glycogen
(liver) amino acids ->
fatty acids
what stores bile
gallbladder
regulates flow from pancreas and gallbladder to duodenum
sphincter of oddi
___ secrete bile into bile canaliculi, on the side opposite of the sinuosoids
hepatocytes
lining of lumen of GI tract
mucosa
