A
  • devoted to dehydration/compaction of chyme > feces

- smaller than small intestine

46
Q

A
  • 5

- cecum, ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid

47
Q

Cecum

A

chyme enters cecum @ ileocecal valve

48

A

3 longitudinal ‘ribbons’ of muscle

53
Q

Clostridium difficile

A
  • fecal transplant

- restores microbiome

54
Q

What innervates ascending and transverse colon?

A

vagus nerve

55
Q

What innervates descending and sigmoid colon?

A

pudendal nerve

56
Q

Appendix

A

blind pocket, minor lymphoid function

57
Q

A

out-pocketing of colon wall (BV’s)

58
Q

Diverticulosis

A

presence

59
Q

Diverticulitis

A

problem

60
Q

epiploic appendages

A

fat associated w. colon

61
Q

Rectum

A
  • feces enter = urge to defecate

- epithelium keratinized - abrasion-resistant

62
Q

Internal anal sphincter

A

ANS

63
Q

External anal sphincter

A

voluntary control

64
Q

Ileostomy/colostomy

A
  • resection of a portion of the gut

- proximal end attached to a surgical stoma (mouth) in the body wall

65
Q

Liver

A
  • largest organ in body

- large blood reservoir

66
Q

Liver functions

A
  • metabolize carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids
  • stores vitamins & minerals
  • detoxify/remove waste products
  • inactivate/removes various drugs & hormones
  • produce bile
67
Q

How does bile break down lipids?

A

emulsifies (chops up)

68
Q

Hepatic Triad

A

Bile duct, hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery

69
Q

Lesser omentum

A
  • Portal v. and Hepatic a.

- common bile duct

70
Q

  • hepatic vein (returning to IVC)
  • hepatic portal vein
71
Q

Gall Bladder

A

stores bile

72

inflammation of gallbladder

75
Q

Cholelithiasis

exposure to drugs, viral infection, blockage of hepatic ducts

77
Q

Hepatic Portal Hypertension

A
  • if blood cannot drain, it finds alternate routes
  • backflow via portocaval anastomoses
  • metabolites damage brain & other organs
78
Q

Pancreas

A
  • btw stomach & duodenum
  • drains to HPV
  • mostly exocrine ducts
79
Q

Endocrine secretions of pancreas

A

glucagon and insulin

80
Q

glucagon

A

raises glucose levels in the blood

81
Q

insulin

A

lowers blood glucose levels

82
Q

Exocrine secretions of pancreas

A

Enzymes: proteinases, lipases, nucleases

degrades materials

83
Q
