excitatory phase

a duodenum distends the enterogastric reflex is trigged, this puts brakes on the system
inhibit the vagal nuclei

104
Q

what does the inhibitory phase activates

A

the symphathetic nervous system that slows down digestion and release of enterogasterons from EE cells that all inhibit secretion

105
Q

how symphatetic nervous system slows down digestion

A

pyloric sphincter tightens, decrease food entry into duodenum, gastric secretion decreases

106

109
Q

enterogasterones

A

secretin, CCK, VIP

110
Q

where does peristalsis begin

A

at cardiac sphincter, as descends get more powerful

111
Q

steps of gastric contractile activity

A
  1. Propulsion
    2.Grinding
  2. Retropulsion
112
Q

propulsion

A

perstalic waves move from fundus towards pylorus

113
Q

grinding

A

most vigorus occur near pylorus, each wave at pylorus squirts 3 MLS of chyme into duodenum, waves occur 3 times/min

114
Q

retropulsion

A

perstitaic wave closes pyloric valve forcing contents of pylorus back into the stomach

115
Q

what is the rhythm of the stomach set by

A

pacemaker cells in longitudinal SM, intersital cells of Cajal
only when food in stomach, generate subthreshold depolarization waves

116
Q

gastric emptying

A

empties 4 hrs after meal, fluid moves fast solid moves slower

117
Q

small intestine

A

major digestive organ, longest part of canal (20 ft long)
duodenum, jejunum, ileum

118
Q

duodenum

A

10 inches long, curves around head of pancreas
hepatopancreatic ampulla
hepatopancreatic sphincter

119
Q

hepatopancreatic ampulla

A

bile duct and pancreatic duct unite

120
Q

hepatopancreatic sphicter (oddi)

A

empty of fluids controlled by this

121
Q

jejunum

A

8ft long, coiled in lower abdominal cavity, suspended by mesentery

122
Q

ileum

A

12 ft long, coiled, suspended by mesenetery, joins LI at ileocecal valve

123
Q

primary function of ileum

A

reabsorb bile salts

124
Q

plicae circularis

A

circular folds of mucosa and submucosa

125
Q

anatomy that increases surface area to maximize absorption

A

pilcae circularis, villi, microvilli, enterocytes, core of villus, lacteal

126
Q

villi

A

finger like projections on mucosa

127
Q

microvilli

A

tiny projections on epithelial cells of villi, brush border

128
Q

enterocytes

A

absorptive columnar cells that contain digestive enzymes

129
Q

core of villus

A

dense capillary bed and lacteal

130
Q

lacteal

A

where the breakdown of food enters

131
Q

5 cells on the villi and in crypts

A

enterocytes, goblet cells, enteroendocrine, paneth, stem cells

132
Q

enterocytes on the epithelial

A

mostly secretory

133
Q

enterocytes of the crypts

A

mostly secretory

134
Q

goblet cells

A

villi and crypt, secrete mucos

135
Q

enteroendocrine

A

entrogastrones

136
Q

paneth

A

deep in crypts, release lysozyme to destroy bacteria

micelle formation

A

free farry acids and monoglycerides assble with bile salts forming micelles, ferry contents into enterocytes

202
Q

diffusion

A

fatty acids and mono diffuse from micelles into enterocytes

203
Q
