Q

esophageal phase

A

a bolus is pushed toward the stomach by peristaltic waves, approach of bolus triggers opening of esophageal sphincter

regenerative, not actually in alimentary canal

30
Q

digestion (sigmentation)

A

rythmic local contraction, churning

31
Q

peritenium

A

membrane that holds together, visceral on top, parietal lines walls, mesentary routes for nerves

34
Q

amylase

A

in saliva, works in mout, starch

35
Q

bile

A

in liver, works in duodenum, fats

36
Q

pancreatic lipase

A

duodenum, produced in pancreas/liver

37
Q

pepsin

A

secreted by gastric glands, digests protein

38

bolus

A

saliva moistens and breaks down food, chewed up food

39
Q

chyme

A

left stomach, chemical break down, paste

40
Q

feces

A

anal canal, defacation, dehydrated

41
Q

draw digestive system (liver, pancreas, gallbladder, common hepatic duct, cystic duct, pancreatic duct, common bile duct)

A
42
Q

peristalsis

A

act of squeezing food- move through organs

hepatitis (how, what, spread)

A

inflammation of the liver, alcohol, toxins, sexual contact, caring for ill

45
Q

villi- where +what

A

in ileum, finger projects, transport nutrients
