Q

What is the last layer of the gi tract and its job

A

serosa, connective tissue

20
Q

What can override the ens

A

the autonomic nervous system but usually these two agree

21
Q

What are the functions of the digestive system

A

-ingestion of foods and liquids containing nutrients and ions
-digestion of large molecules in foods and liquids in absorbable forms and then transport across the GI epithelium
-absorption of nutreints from the gut lumen into the internal envrionemnt (ecf)
-metabolic transformation of fuel molcules and detoxification of forign substances
-elimination of small amounts of end producys including bilirubin
- carrying out a variety of immune fuctions

22
Q

What are the four processes of the digestive system

A
  • motility
    -digestion
    -absorption
    -secretion
23
Q

motility

A

not just propel contents along but also mix and expose

24
Q

digestion

A

breakdown both mechanically and chemically

25
Q

absorption

A

small intestine dominates here

26
Q

secretion

A

mucus throughout, notable secretions throughout

27
Q

Amylase

A

breaks down big polysaccharides

28
Q

Sucrase

A

breaks down sucrose

29
Q

Lactase

A

breaks down lactose

30
Q

Maltase

A

breaks down maltose

31
Q

What are the protein enxymes

A

pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase

32
Q

What does pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin break down

A

poplypeptides

33
Q

carboxypeptidase and aminopeptidase break down what

A

peptide fragments

34
Q

What does lipase break down

A

triglycerides

35
Q

Why is the amount absorbed so much greater than amount consumed

A

secretions

36
Q
