bicarbonate

173
Q

digests starch

A

pancreatic amylase

174

digests fat

A

pancreatic lipase

175
Q

3 stimuli are responsible for the release of pancreatic juice and bile

A

acetylcholine, cholecystokinin, secretin

176
Q

stimulates pancreatic secretion

A

acetylcholine

177
Q

stimulates pancreas to release enzymes, contracts gallbladder, relaxes ampulla sphincter

A

cholecystokinin

178
Q

stimulates liver and pancreas to secrete sodium bicarbonate

A

secretin

179
Q

longest part of the digestive tract, nearly all chemical digestion and nutrient absorption occurs here

A

small intestine

180
Q

small intestine is divided into 3 regions

A

duodenum, jejunum, ileum

181
Q

receives stomach contents, pancreatic juice, and bile; stomach acid is neutralized here

A

duodenum

182
Q

thick wall with rich blood supply; most digestion and nutrient absorption occurs here

A

jejunum

183
Q

last 60% of small intestine, thinner wall, less vascular, paler pink color.

A

ileum

184
Q

both __ and __ are intraperitoneal and covered with serosa

A

jejunum and ileum

185
Q

makes mucosa look fuzzy, core filled with areolar tissue of lamina propria

A

villi

186
Q

forms a fuzzy brush border on apical surface of each absorptive cell

A

microvilli

187
Q

numerous pores that open into tubular glands on the floor of the small intestine between bases of the villi

A

intestinal crypts

188
Q

intestinal crypts secretes __ of intestinal juice per day

A

1 to 2 L

189
Q

secretes bicarbonate-rich mucus which neutralizes stomach acid and shield the mucosa from it

A

duodenal gland

190
Q

types of movement that occur in the small intestine

A

segmentation and peristalsis

191
Q

movement where ring-like constrictions appear in several places along the intestine and then relax as new constrictions form elsewhere

A

segmentation movement in small intestine

192
Q

waves of contraction in small intestine that moves chyme toward colon

A

peristalsis movement in small intestine

193
Q

digestion begins in the mouth by salivary amylase, then digestion continues into small intestine with pancreatic amylase and other enzymes

A

carbohydrate digestion

194
Q

broken into smaller peptides in stomach by pepsin, then broken into dipeptides in small intestine via other enzymes, then free amino acids moving into epithelium

A

protein digestion

195
Q

stomach lingual lipase breaks down to free fatty acids, small intestine pancreatic lipase breaks to monoglycerides and free fatty acids, then micelles brought into epithelium to break into triglycerides, to then flow into the lacteal

A

fat digestion

196
Q

fat soluble vitamins absorbed with lipids. water soluble vitamins absorbed by simple diffusion

A

vitamin and mineral digestion

197
Q

small intestine absorbs most water consumed via osmosis

A

water digestion

198
Q

absorbed by carrier-mediated transport across absorptive cell surface

A

how carbohydrates and proteins are absorbed by small intetsine

199
Q

lipids leave micelles at brush border to diffuse into absorptive epithelial cells and ultimately flow into lacteal

A

how fat is absorbed by small intestine
