Gastric Emptying Digestion And Absorption Flashcards
In the stomach
In the stomach, food is mixed with gastric secretions (hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes)
Gastric emptying is influenced by?
The volume of food energy density, osmolarity, dehydration, psychologicalstress and anxiety, and to a lesser degree by exercise intensity, meal temperature and gender.
Chewing food does what?
Chewing food makes the food particles smaller and increases the surface area of the food. This increases the contact area for the digestive enzymes. Chewing also makes is the food particles with saliva and digestive enzymes.
The primary function of the gastrointestinal.
It’s a 6 to 8 m long tubular structure that reaches from the mouth to the anus, is to provide the body with nutrients.
What are pancreatic juices and bile for?
Pancreatic it juices and bile are added to the chyme in the duodenum to digest the carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Specialized in zymes split these micronutrients into the smallest subunits for absorption. Bile is added to emulsify lipid droplets and facilitate digestion and absorption.
Where does 90% to 95% of all absorption take place?
About 90% to 95% of all absorption takes place in the duodenum and jejunum (first parts of the small intestine nine).
What is the large intestine for?
The large intestine nine is a storage place for Undigested food residues and the final water and electrolyte absorption occurs there.
Gastro Neil problems and incidents are increased by?
Gastrointestinal problems are a common phenomenon, mainly among endurance athletes, and the incidence is increased by physiological factors, mechanical factors, and nutrition.
Salivary glands
Release enzymes and protect against oral bacteria
Secretin
Stimulates bicarbonate secretion in pancreatica juice
Esophageal sphincter
Dysfunction can cause heartburn
Large intestine
Store species until they can be expelled
Motility
Refers to the movement of food in the G.I. tract
Probiotics
Beneficial bacteria that can be found in yogurt
Liver
Processes nutrients that are sent from the intestines
Active transport
Mode of absorption
Gallbladder
Stores bile
Villi
Finger-like projections in the small intestine nine
The G.I. tract is a ______ long tubular structure that reaches from the mouth to the anus
6-8m
List the three primary digestive functions of the stomach
1) Stores large quantities of food and tell it can be accommodated into the intestine.
2) Mixes food with gastric secretions and hydrochloride HCI acid to break down proteins and form a homogenous, acidic, soup like liquid or paste called chyme.
Regulates emptying of chyme into small intestine by action of the pyloric sphincter.
True or false?
The folds of Kirkmore, villi and microvilli in the large intestine nine all function to increase surface area for optimal absorption of nutrients.
False
Hormone: gastrin
secreted by:
effect:
Hormone: gastrin

Hormone: Glucagonlike per tide I (GLP-I)
secreted by:
effect:
Hormone: Glucagonlike per tide I (GLP-I)
secreted by: ileum and colon
effect: inhibits gastric motility and secretion
