Chp 23 Recording Flashcards
Everything we eat breaks down and turns into
energy
breakdown is also known as
digestion
what are the two forms of digestion
mechanical
and chemical
physically breaking down of food is known as
mechanical digestion
enzymes, gastric juices are known as what digestion
chemical
pathway of gastro intestinal tract digestion
1) mouth
2) oral cavity
- tongue
- salivary glands
- saliva (amylase)
3) Pharynx
3) Esophagus
4) Stomach
5) Small intestine
6) Large intestine
7) Anus
amylase is what
enzyme that breaks down
first place in your digestive system that you are starting to break down carbohydrates
oral cavity amylase (starch)
three parts that make up the small intestine
duodenum
jejunum
ileum
where is the ileum found
small intestine
where is the jejunum found
small intestine
Parts that make up the large intestine
cecum
colon (ascending, transverse, descending)
rectum
what do accessory organs do
help with the chemical break down during digestion
what are your accessory organs
liver
gall bladder
pancreas
don’t come in contact with food in digestion tract but assist with chemical break down
accessory organs
where do we start chemically breaking down after amylase
some stuff in the stomach and everything else in the duodenum
where do your accessory organs come into play in the GI tract
at the duodenum
what add a tube like structure at the duodenum
gall bladder
pancreas
liver
storage center for bile
gall bladder
what organ secretes bile
liver
what emulsifies fat
bile
taking in of food
ingestion
movement of food
peristalsis
wave like motion in esophagus that moves food
peristalsis
the only digestive chemical property that we have before the stomach is
amylase
where do we end up absorbing everything
small intestine
majority goes back to you
water gets reabsorbed at the large intestine
where does the chemical digestion occur
small intestine
what are the lymphatic vessels right next to the small intestine
peyers patch
what are found throughout the digestive tract
lymphatic vessels
what are your three pairs of salivary glands
parotid glands
submandibular glands
sublingual glands
what swells up during mumps
parotid glands
salivary amylase does what
digest carbohydrates
what function does salivary glands have
immuno globulins IgA
what nervous system control is in digestion
Vagus nerve
parasympathetic
