54
Q

54) Describe the structures and functions of the enteric nervous system.

A

Solution: The ENS consists of the submucosal plexus in the submucosa and the myenteric plexus in the muscularis. Both contain sensory and motor neurons, as well as ANS postganglionic fibers of both divisions. The myenteric plexus also contains parasympathetic ganglia. The submucosal plexus regulates movements of the mucosa, secretion from glands in the gastrointestinal tract, and vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the gastrointestinal tract. The myenteric plexus regulates gastric motility.

55
Q

55) Explain why food does not normally go up into your nasal cavity or down into your lungs when you swallow-even if you are standing on your head when you swallow.

A

Solution: Presence of food in the oropharynx stimulates the deglutition center in the medulla and pons to move the soft palate and uvula upward to close off the nasopharynx, thus keeping food out of the nasal cavity. At the same time, the larynx rises and the epiglottis moves down and back to seal off the larynx, which is further closed by the vocal cords, thus keeping food from entering the lower respiratory tract.

56
Q

56) Describe the role of the liver in protein metabolism.

A

Solution: Hepatocytes deaminate amino acids. The amine group is converted to toxic ammonia. Hepatocytes convert the toxic ammonia to less toxic urea for excretion in urine. The liver also synthesizes many proteins, including most plasma proteins.

57
Q

57) Identify the protein-hydrolyzing enzymes in the digestive tract, and name their sources. Why are these enzymes released in an inactive form?

A

Solution: Pepsin from the stomach, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, and elastase from the pancreas, and aminopeptidase and dipeptidase from the small intestine are the proteases in the GI tract. The enzymes are not activated until they are in the lumen of the stomach or small intestine because they would otherwise digest the proteins in the cells that produce them.

58
Q

58) Describe the structural characteristics of the small intestine that enhance its function as the major absorber of nutrients.

A

Solution: All structures increase surface area to increase the rate of reabsorption: great length (10’ in living humans), microvilli on plasma membrane of each epithelial cell, villi (fingerlike projections of mucosa), and circular folds (permanent ridges in the mucosa).
