Final (Digestive System) Flashcards
Lumen
top
Serosa
bottom
outer covering of the entire digestive tract
connective tissue that is a cont. of the peritoneum
oblique muscle
aids in movement of food in the stomach (churn)
expansion of stomach
peyer’s patch
GALT= gult associated lymphoid tissue
movement of immune cells
migrating motor complexes
empty stomach
sweeps food remnants and bacteria out of the upper GI tract and into the large intestine
peristalsis
during and after meal
contractions that move from one section of the GI tract to the next
segmental contractions
during and after digestion
churning
digestion
contract and relax
shorter
pacemaker cells
regulate contractility of smooth muscle
smooth muscle contractions
graded
increased ca2+
larger contraction
secretory cell secretions
mucus
bicarbonate
HCl
pepsin
somatostatin= inhibits gastrin and secretin
gastrin
endocrine islets (to bloodstream)
secretes insulin and glucogon
exocrine islets
secretes digestive enzymes and sodium bicarbonate
exocrine pancreas
secretes ions and enzymes
go through pancreatic duct to small intestine
bile
secreted by liver
fat digestion (bile salts)
go through bile duct
secretes bilirubin (bile pigment)
secretes cholesterol= excreted in feces
enzymes for digestion of carbs
starch break down in the mouth by amylase
disaccaride->2 monosaccaride->absorption in small intestine
