19
Q

what is the body?

A

distensible middle section

20
Q

what are the 3 gastric glands?

A

parietal, chief, mucous

21
Q

what does the pyloric antrum do?

A

grinds up swallowed food, regulates hydrochloric acid

22
Q

what does the pylorus do?

A

regulates the movement of chime from the stomach into the duodenum

23
Q

Fundus and body _____ with swallowing food

A

relax

24
Q

body of stomach ________ to help mix food

A

contracts

25
Q

pyloric antrum _______ contractions in response to swallowing

A

increases

26
Q

What does gastrin do?

A

increases production of hydrochloric acid, inhibits muscle activity of the fundus

27
Q

what does Secretin do?

A

can cause fundus to relax, inhibit peristalsis of the body and slow gastric emptying

28
Q

what is CCK?

A

Cholecystokinin; released in response to large amounts of fats or protein in duodenum; decreases contractions of the antrum, body and fundus.

breaks down proteins

important for absorption of b12 in some animals
