GI Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards
Parietal cells
Hydrochloric acid
Intrinsic factor necessary to absorb vitamin B12
Chief cells at base
Pepsinogen
Enteroendocrine cells in pylorus
serotonin, gastrin
Exocrine portion of pancreas
acinar-secrete digestive enzymes
duct cells- secrete aqueous NaHCO3 solution
Function of liver
Bile formation and secretion into bile canaliculi
Chemical digestion begins with secretions of salivary glands via?
salivary amylase
bolus
salivary glands dissolve and moisten food–bind food into bolus.
3 salivary glands
parotid
sublingual
submandibular
saliva aka
deglutition
histology of esophagus
stratified squamous
Swallowing phases
- Buccal Phase
- Pharyngeal Phase
- Esophageal phase
serotonin
is at juncture helping with gut motility and tone.
Regulation of gastric activity 3 phases:
- cephalic phase (receive)
- Gastric phase (liquify)
- Intestinal phase (digestion)
segments of small intestine
Duodenum
Jejunum
Ileum
Peristalsis vs. segmentation
peristalsis-moves food
segmentation-breaks up food
Modification of Absorption (to absorb food well)
Length
Circular folds (plicae circulares)
Vili
Microvilli
Paneth cells
have anti-microbial effects found only in small intestine
Cells in stomach
goblet cells and enteroendocrine cells
