Focus 11 Flashcards
Propulsive and mixing movements
Motility
Exocrine glands and endocrine cells
Secretion
Breakdown of food stuff
Digestion
Absorbable units, water, vitamins, and electrolytes
Absorption
4 layers of GI tract wall
- Mucosa
- Submucosa
- Muscularis externa
- Serosa
Contains blood/lymph vessels.
Submucosa
Secretion and absorption
Mucosa
Sucrose broken down into
Glucose and fructose
Maltose broke down into
Two glucose
Lactose broken down into
Glucose and galactose
Digestion to absorbable units is accomplished by
Hydrolysis
Begins Chemical digestion in the mouth
Salivary amylase
Pepsinogen is activated by _______ and becomes pepsin
Hydrochloric acid HCl
Secretes mucus, intrinsic factor, and histamine
Stomach cells
Speeds up HCl secretion
Histamine
Polysaccharides - maltose
Pancreatic amylase
Dietary triglycerides - monoglycerides and free fatty acids
Pancreatic lipase
Protein - small peptide chains and amino acids
Trypsinogen - trypsin
Brush boarder enzymes
- sucrase
- maltase
- lactase
- aminopeptidase
Emulsification of lipids. Increases surface area for pancreatic lipase.
Bile salts
Major contractile activity of SI. Rhythmic local contractions that increase exposure to enzymes and absorption
Segmentation
Weak/gradual peristalsis
MMC migrating motility complex
Increases surface area, chemical digestion, and absorption in the SI
Villi and microvilli
Is absorbed passively to lymph
Lipids (fatty acids)
