final exam review Flashcards
define physiology
the study of homeostasis and how the body maintains it
define homeostasis
an attempt to maintain a constant, steady balance, within and around the body
4 GI tract layers (out to in)
serosa
muscular layer
submucosa
mucosa
serosa
connective tissue to hold organs together and epithelial tissue to protect against friction and lubricate
muscular layer
smooth muscle tissue
2 layers (3 in stomach)
layers of muscular layer
circular - mixing
longitudinal - peristalsis
oblique - mixing (stomach)
submucosa
lots of blood vessels and nerves
mucosa
epithelial tissue, changes thru out tract, cells secrete mucus, enzymes, and hormones
parotid salivary gland
ant and inf to ears
submandibular salivary gland
below and medial to mandible
sublingual salivary gland
ant and under tongue
gross anatomy of stomach
cardiac sphincter
fundus
body
pylorus
pyloric sphincter
lesser curve
greater curve w greater omenta
parietal peritoneum
covers all organs
visceral peritoneum
covers each organ (serosa)
rugae
folds in mucosa that allow for distension
4 gastric glands
g cells
chief cells
parietal cells
mucus cells
gastrin
hormone from g cell that causes release of all other cells and their products
pepsinogen
enzyme released by chief cells in inactive form to break protein bonds
HCl
acid produced by parietal cells to kill pathogens
intrinsic factor
allows absorption of Vitamin B12
mucus
made from mucus cells to protect the stomach lining from acid
duodenum
10 in of small int, enzymes and secretions from accessory organs enter here
jejunum
8 ft of small int, digestion and absorption
ileum
12 ft of small int, absorption, joins large int @ ileocecal valve
small intestine physiology
completion of digestion and majority of absorption
cecum
2-3 in pouch of large int, has appendix attch.
ascending colon
vertical part of large int on right of liver
transverse colon
horizontal part of large int, below liver, above small int
descending colon
vertical part of large int, left side of iliac crest
sigmoid colon
“S” shaped part of of large int, goes posterior
rectum
7-8 in of large int, midline of body, tapered
anal canal
last inch of rectum
internal anal sphincter
smooth muscle
external anal sphincter
skeletal muscle, anus
teniae coli
replaces longitudinal muscle, form haustra
haustra
pouches in large int
large int physiology (chem digestion)
NONE, only water and electrolytes absorbed, only mucus produced
haustral churning
mech digestion in large int, pouches distend and push poop to next pouch
peristalsis (due to teniae coli)
2-3 mass peristaltic waves a day (POOPING)
4 lobes of liver
right, left, caudate (post sup), quadrate (post inf)
porta
inf area where hepatic artery, portal vein, and duct are
