GI secretions and non-fermentative digestion Flashcards
what are the 4 major salivary glands
- parotid salivary gland
- mandibular salivary gland
- sublingual salivary gland
- zygomatic salivary gland
what is mumps
- highly contagious viral infection
- fever, swelling, swelling of salivary gland
- not life threatening
- zoonotic
salivary mucocele
- collection of saliva that has leaked from a damaged salivary gland or salivary duct and accumulated in the tissues
- common in dogs
what are the types of saliva
- serous (parotid)
- mucus (buccal)
- both (mandibular and sublingual)
what is the composition of saliva
mucins, water, electrolytes
what is unique about ruminant saliva
high amounts of HCO3 (bicarbonate)
hypotonic saliva
- non-ruminants
- less electrolyte compared to blood
isotonic saliva
- ruminants
- osomotic pressure/electrolytes is similar to blood/plasma
what enzyme digests starch
alpha-amylase
what enzyme digests fat
lingual lipase and present in all species
what enzyme is associated with lysozymes
antimicrobial enzymes
what are the functions of saliva
- moisten and lubricate food
- antimicrobial activity (oral hygiene)
- evaporative cooling - cat and dog
- buffering forestomach digestion in ruminants
- partial digestion of starch/fat
what is important about salivary ducts
- anatomy same to glomerulus and collecting ducts in kidney
- ion transporters
- respond to aldosterone (Na conc.)
what does electrolytes in saliva depend on
flow rate
what is the parasympathetic regulation of salivary secretion
- primary mode
- pavlov’s dog - conditioned reflex
- cholinergic receptors
- atropine suppresses salivary secretion
what is sympathetic regulation of salivary secretion
- B-adrenergic receptors
- salivation and drooling in carnivores preparing to attack
what are the two functionally separate secretions of the pancreas
- exocrine - digestion
- endocrine - insulin
what does the acinar secrete
- lipase (active)
- amylase (active)
- zymogens (inactive)
what does the duct cells secrete
HCO3
what does enterokinase do to trypsinogen
cleave it into trypsin
what does trypsin activate
trypsinogen
where are the inactive enzymes
pancreas
where are the active enzymes and what are they and what did they get activates by
- SI (duodenum)
- chymotryspin
- elastase
- carboxypeptidase A
- carboxypeptidase B
- trypsin
where is enterokinase located and released
- located on brush border of duodenal enterocytes
- released from brush border by bile salts
what is enterokinase stimulated by
trypsinogen
what is enterokinase
- 41% carb
- protease
what does premature activation of the pancreatic enzymes in the pancrease cause
acute pancreatitis
what is a risk factor for acute pancreatitis
big fat meals
what are the three phases of pancreatic secretion
- cephalic
- gastric
- intestinal
what is the cephalic phase
vagal stimulation (sight and smell of food)
what is the gastric phase
vagovagal reflex (stomach distention)
what is the intestinal phase
- intestinal distension (Ach)
- chemical stimulation (CCK, secretin)
what stimulates CCK secretion
fat and protein
what stimulates secretin secretion
