sphincters

A
upper esophageal sphincter
gastroesophageal (cardiac) sphincter 
pyloric sphincter
hepatopancreatic sphincter
internal anal sphincter
external anal sphincter
40
Q

4 parts of stomach

A

cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus

41
Q

muscularis externa of GI tract layers

A

longitudinal, circular, oblique

42
Q

gastric gland

A

in the stomach and produce gastric juice

43
Q

gastric gland cells

A

parietal, chief, enteroendocrine

HCl + pepsinogen= pepsin

44
Q

parietal cell

A

gastric gland

produce HCl

45
Q

chief cell

A

gastric gland

produce pepsinogen

46
Q

small intestine structure

A

villi, blood capillaries, goblet cells

47
Q

small intestine villi

A

hundreds of these and on top of them are microvilli

they increase surface area for absorption

48
Q

small intestine blood capillaries

A

where food is absorbed

49
Q

small intestine goblet cells

A

more are in the large intestine they provide mucus

50
Q

duodenum

A

underneath liver

major duodenal papilla

51
Q

what does the liver produce

A

no enzymes just bile!!

52
Q

gallbladder removal (FFFF)

A

forty, fat, female, fair skin

53
Q

hepatocytes

A

cells in the liver

produce bile

54
Q

external vs. internal anal sphincter

A

internal: smooth muscle no control
external: skeletal muscle we do have control

55
Q

cholecystokinin hormone

A

target organ: pancreas

increases output of enzyme-rich pancreatic juice

56
Q

gastric inhibitory peptide hormone

A

target organ: stomach/pancreas

inhibits HCl production and stimulates insulin release

57
Q
