FINAL EXAM: Unit 6 Flashcards
describe the three GI tract movements (migrating motor complex, peristalsis, segmental contractions)
migrating motor complex: b/w meals
peristalsis: during a meal, moves food forward
segmental: during a meal, alternate relaxtion & contraction
how does the enteric NS impact the GI tract?
no CNS, uses submucosal & myenteric plexuses (intrinsic)
-release NT, glial support cells
-diffusion barrier
what does gastrin do?
gastric acid secretion
what does CCK do?
gallbladder contraction (bile)
pancreatic secretions
inhibits gastric phase
what does secretin do?
HCO3- secretion
inhibit gastric phase
what does motilin do?
stimulates migrating motor complex
what does GIP do?
insulin release
inhibit gastric phase
what does GLP-1 do?
insulin release
inhibit gastric phase
what is the cephalic phase stimulated by?
anticipatory reflex, food in mouth
what does the cephalic phase do?
vagal reflex: increase gastrin
saliva production
mastication
swallowing reflex
what is the swallowing reflex pathway?
- tongue hits soft palate
- medulla oblongata stimulated
- CN9
- close nasopharynx
- upper esophagus sphincter relaxes
- peristaltic contractions
what stimulates the gastric phase?
vagal reflex, stomach distension (stretch)
what does the gastric phase do?
increase motility & secretions
segmental contractions (stirring)
what does the parietal cells secrete? functions?
HCl: activate pepsin, kill bacteria
Intrinsic factor: vitamin b12, absorption
what does the chief cells secrete? functions?
pepsin: breakdown proteins
gastric lipase: breakdown fats
what does the mucous cells secrete? functions?
mucus: barrier to acid
bicarbonate: increases pH
what does G cells secrete? functions?
gastrin: increases motility & acid secretion
what does D cells secrete? functions?
somatostatin: inhibit gastrin & HCl
what stimulates the intestinal phase?
chyme entering, change in pH
what does the small intestine secrete? functions?
peptidase: breakdown proteins
disaccharide: breakdown carbs
secretin & CCK: inhibit gastric phase, secrete digestive enzymes
what does the liver and gallbladder do?
synthesize and store bile (breakdown fats)
what are the pancreas endocrine secretions? functions?
insulin: glucose high, beta-islet
glucagon: glucose low, alpha-islet
what are the pancreas exocrine secretions? functions?
pancreatic amylase: breakdown carbs
pancreatic lipase: breakdown fats
peptidases: breakdown proteins & fats
what three enzymes help breakdown carbs?
salivary amylase
pancreatic amylase
disaccharides
what is the pathway of carb breakdown?
- polysaccharide (starch, glycogen)
- disaccharide (maltose, sucrose, lactose)
- monosaccharide
- glucose & galactose -> Na+ dependent transport
- fructose -> facilitated diffusion
- hepatic portal system
what enzymes help breakdown proteins?
ENDO: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin (cleave bonds in middle)
EXO: carboxypeptidase, protease (cleave bonds on ends)
what is the pathway of protein breakdown?
- polypeptidase broken by endo/exopeptidases
- free amino acids
- active transport, co-transport, transcytosis
- hepatic portal system
what enzymes help breakdown fats?
salivary lipase
bile
collipase
phospholipase
what is the pathway of fat breakdown?
- fat broken down by bile
- triglycerides broken down by lipase
- monoglycerol & FAs form micelles
- goes to the villi & microvilli
- goes into intestinal cell -> smooth ER
- converted back into triglycerides
- triglyceride + cholesterol + protein = chylomicron
- goes to lacteal
where do fat soluble vitamins go? water soluble?
fat soluble = lacteal
water soluble = hepatic portal system
what three secretions does the hypothalamus release?
NYP: increase food intake
Ghrelin: increase food intake
Orexin: increase food intake
what is the difference b/w the glucostatic theory and the lipostatic theory with relating to hunger?
glucostatic: regulator is glucose metabolism
lipostatic: regulator is fat stores, leptin increases satiety
