What are brunner's glands
Submucosal duodenal glands that secrete high bicarb, alkaline mucus, and buffers acidic chyme entering from the stomach
229
What are I cells secreted from and its function
Secreted by the intestinal glands of duodenum and it is the secretion of the hormone cholecystokinin stimulating the release of pancreatic juices and bile
230
What are K cells secreted from and its function
Secreted by the intestinal glands it is the secretion of GIP which stimulates the release of insulin
231
What are S cells secreted from and its function
Secreted by the intestinal glands and is the secretion of secretin
232
What does incretins do
Stimulates insulin secretion
233
What are the steps of mechanical digestion in the SI
Segmentation, migrating motility complexes, and gastroileal reflex
234
What is migrating motility complex triggered by
Motilin
235
Where does migrating motility complex continue to
The ileocecal sphincter
236
What stimulates the gastroileal reflex and what does it allow
It is stimulated by ileal motility which is stimulated by gastrin and allows for digestion in the stomach triggering segmentation
237
What occurs during chemical digestion
FInal digestion of proteins and CHO, most digestion of lipids, absorption of water, digestive enzymes attach to the surface of enterocytes, and coordination of the flow, pH, and osmolarity of chyme
238
What are the functions of the LI
Finish nutrient absorption, absorb water, synthesize vitamins, form feces, and defecate
239
Why do ruminants not have a large vitamin requirement
Because they are synthesized by microbes
240
What does ATDS mean w/ the colon
Ascending, Transverse, Descending, Sigmoid or after this defecate soon
241
Why does the rectum have 3 lateral bends
To help separate gas from feces
242
What three things are found in the SA of the SI
Plicae, villi, and microvilli
243
What are the three types of movement for mechanical digestion in the LI
Haustral contraction, peristalsis, and mass movement
244
WHat occurs during chemical digestion in the LI
Saccharolytic fermentation of the remaining carbs breaking down sugars
245
What is the defecate reflex
The parasympathetic uses the spinal cord to load the chute for voluntary control of the anal sphincter
246
What is the porta hepatis
The gate to the liver also referred to as the hepatic portal this has the blood supply of the liver
247
What are the two parts of the livers blood supply
The hepatic artery for oxygen and the portal vein that brings absorbed nutrients from the gut straight to the liver
248
What are the three components of the livers histology
The hepatocytes (liver cells), bile canaliculi (canals that carry bile), and hepatic sinusoids (space filled w/ blood)
249
What is the hepatic lobule
The core functional unit of the liver that is a radial arrangement roughly in a polygon shape
250
What does the hepatic lobule contain
Portal triads, cords of hepatocytes, and bile canaliculi
251
What is the portal triads
Located outside of the central vein it contains the hepatic artery, branch of portal vein, and the bile duct
252
What are the cords of hepatocytes
Sinusoids that are irregular shaped capillaries that contain a mixture of venule and arteriole blood that are lined by kupffer cells, stellate cells, and liver sinusoidal enothelial cells
253
What is bile canaliculi
Found in the cords of hepatocytes it is secreted by hepatocytes and is moved to the outside where it meets the bile duct
254
Where are stellate cells located and what are their function
They are located in the space of Disse and they are the primary location for vitamin A storage in characteristic lipid droplets
255
Where are sinusoidal capillaries located and why are they different
In the liver and they are discontinuous capillaries that facilitates exchange of larger molecules
256
What stimulates the secretion of bile
A gut hormone called secretin
257
Where are chylomicrons transferred
Thru lymph fluid
258
What is the common bile duct
A two way cystic duct that bile is released into by the gallbladder
