D1 Flashcards
6 process of Digestive system
- ingestion
- motility ( mixing of movement )
- secretion ( adding enzymes, water and hormes)
- digestion ( break down / mechanical + chemical)
- absorption ( entry to body)
- excretion
Gastrointestinal regulation controlled by ?
volume + composition
Secretions
Enteroendocrine : hormes
exocrine : enzymes
Mucous : mucus
Enteric nervous system
gut brain : part of digestive system :
more neurons than spinal cord
GI tract’s own local neural control
Short reflex : ( Intrinsic)
stimuli - receptor - plexus - effector - response
Long reflex: (extrinsic )
Neural path to outside GI tract
Afferent receptor to CNS
efferent CNS to plexus
First part Cephalic phase
stimuli : signal salivary centre
Parasympathetic : rest relax: basic amount of saliva to keep moist
sympathetic: fight or flight ( Thick saliva rich in mucus )
Dehydration or stress
saliva composition
water
mucus
bicarbonate ( neutrailize food acid)
lysozymes : prevent bacterial growth
enzymes for chemical digestion
salivary amylase : favor slightly acidic
polysaccharides to maltose
Lingual lipase : triglyceride to mono + fatty acids
Favor highly acidic enviornment :
body and antrum
Deglutition ( swallowing)
1st stage: voluntary ( tongue against palate - push bolus into oral pharynx )
2nd stage: involuntary ( swallowing centre signal blocking position
uvula - nasal pharnyx , tongue - oral pharnyx, epiglottis - laryngeal pharynx
inhibit respiratory muscle ( stop breathing )
relax upper esophageal sphincter
3rd stage: esophageal stage: involuntary
Peristalsis: circular muscle contract above
longitudinal muscle contract to push down
Lower esophageal sphincter relax to let bolus enter stomach
Gastric motility ( mixing )
composed to propulsion and retropulsion ( down and up )
stronger inbody and atrum
have a pace maker
bolus into chyme
small amount moves to duodenum per mixing wave
