digestive and urinary system Flashcards
What are the tissue layers that make up the digestive tract?
mucosa
submucosa
muscularis
serosa
mucosa
innermost layer of digestive tract
submucosa
middle layer of digestive tract layers
muscularis
outermost muscular layer with 2 types of muscle:
longitudinal and circular
serosa
the outermost layer of the digestive tract, houses the other three layers inside it
peritoneum
serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity
mesenteries
2 layers of peritoneum fused together that anchor organs to the cavity wall
mouth
ingestion, tasting, and chewing
pharynx
muscular funnel which connects mouth to esophagus
esophagus
used for swallowing, no digestive purposes
stomach
mechanical and chemical breakdown of food
small intestine
nearly all chemical digestion and nutrient absorption
3 segments of the small intestine
duodenum
jejunum
ileum
large intestine
absorbs water and salts and eliminates feces
liver
secretes bile that contributes to digestion
pancreas
produces most of the digestive enzymes in their zymogen form
gallbladder
stores bile for future use
amylase
produced in mouth
breaks down starch
enzyme
trypsin
produced by pancreas
digests protein
enzyme
gastrin
produced in stomach
stimulates acid production
hormone
cholecystokinin (CCK)
produced in duodenum in response to fat
stimulates gallbladder to release bile
secretin
produced by small intestine in response to chyme
stimulate liver and pancreas to secrete bicarbonate
buffers HCL
pepsin
secreted by chief cells in the stomach
digests protein
enzyme
carboxypeptidase
produced by pancreas
removes amino acids from end of chain
enzyme
Dipeptidase
produced in pancreas
splits dipeptides to release 2 peptides
Enzyme
Lysozyme
produced in salivary glands
kills bacteria
enzyme
pancreatic juice
produced by pancreas
mix of zymogens released into duodenum
HCL
produced in stomach
breaks down food particles in the stomach
acid
bicarbonate
produced in stomach
maintains ph in body
hormone
bile salts
produced in liver
aids in fat digestion
steroid
disaccharidase
produced in pancreas
breaks down disaccharides
enzyme
somatostatin
produced in stomach
inhibits acid production
hormone
what controls/contributes to HCL production?
stimulation by ACh, histamine, and gastrin
high if all three ligands bind, low if it is only one
enteric NS
located between layers of the digestive system
short reflexes
stretching or chemical stimulation triggers contraction of smooth muscle
long reflexes
autonomic nerves trigger contraction of smooth muscle
mechanical breakdown
physical breakdown of food, chewing and swallowing
chemical breakdown
use of chemicals, enzyme, and hormones to break down food
