export_gi 1 Flashcards
Motility
controlled movement of substances through the guy
secretion
release of substance and fluids
digestion
break down food into molecular compents
absorption
movement of nutrients and water into body
5 processes of GI
1) digestion
2) secretion (into GI from blood)
3) absorption (into blood from GI)
4) motility
5) barrier
Folding of intestine increases ___ which increases ___
surface area, absorption
3 types of intestinal folding
1) plicae (sub and muc)
2) villi (muc)
3) microvilli
2 types of intestinal muscle
1) circular
2) longitudinal
layers of GI (inside to out)
1) mucosa
2) submucosa
3) muscularis externa
4) serosa
paneth cells
produce antimicrobial peptides
M cells and Peyer’s patches
sample luminal antigens and activate WBCs (in PP) in response to pathogens
barrier function of GI
1) mucus production
2) acid destroys microorganisms
3) produce antimicrobial peptides
4) activate WBCs
5) IgA production
3 phases of GI regulation
1) cephalic phase (head)
2) gastric (stomach)
3) intestinal (intestine)
enteric nervous system (ENS) innervates ___ and ___ (regions)
myenteric and submucosal plexus
ENS regulates ___, ___, ___
1) motility
2) secretion
3) hormone release
signals to GI can start in __ or __
CNS or ENS
long vs. short reflexes
long- through CNS –> nerve plexus in GI –> response in lumen
short- bypass CNS, stimulus in lumen –> signals nerve plexus –> triggers response
receptor types in the GI wall
chemo, osmo, mechano
saliva functions
1) lubrication
2) buffer to dilute spice/acid
3) partial digestion (amylase)
4) clean teeth/tissues
5) antibacterial/fungal (lysozyme, histatin)
areas of saliva release
1) parotid (25%)
2) submandibular (70%)
3) sublingual (5%)
cephalic-phase control of salivary secretion
taster –> tongue mechanos –> salivary center of medulla oblongata –> ANS –> salivation
saliva secretion hormone regulation
hormone’s don’t regulate saliva secretion
sight and smell of food stimulate cephalic phase through the ___
medulla oblongata
xerostomia
dry mouth from no saliva (can lead to tooth decay)
Sjogrens Syndrome
immune damage of acinar cells, or side effects of certain drugs
