GI SYSTEM 2 Flashcards
STOMACH what is the function of stomach (3)
- mechanical processing
- digestion
- mix bolus and gastric juices
STOMACH how does stomach do mechanical processing
contracts muscles
STOMACH how does stomach do digestion
- secretes enzymes
- secretes chemicals
STOMACH what is chyme
mixture of bolus and gastric juices
STOMACH what is fundus
bony top of organ
STOMACH what is located in fundus of stomach
- air
2. cells that detect entrance of food
STOMACH what occurs in body of stomach
mechanical processing
STOMACH what is greater omentum attached to
greater curvature of stomach
STOMACH what are functions of greater omentum (2)
- deposit lipid
2. move to site of infection
STOMACH what kind of epithelium makes up mucosal layer
simple columnar epithelium
STOMACH what are 3 layers of smooth muscle in muscularis externis
- inner oblique
- middle circular
- outer longitudinal
STOMACH what does inner oblique layer contain
rugae
STOMACH what are rugae
folds
STOMACH what are gastric pits close to
lumen
STOMACH what is gastic gland close to
submucosa
STOMACH what layer are gastric pits + gastric glands a part of
mucosal layer
SECRETORY CELLS what is the function of surface mucosa cell
form thick layer of mucous to protect from HCl
SECRETORY CELLS what is the function of mucous neck cell
produce watery mucous
SECRETORY CELLS what is the function of parietal cell
produce HCl
SECRETORY CELLS what is the function of chief cell
produce pre-enzymes other than amylase
SECRETORY CELLS when do pre-enzymes secreted by chief cells become active
when they pass through mucous neck cell secretion
SECRETORY CELLS what is the function of neuroendocrine cell
produce gastrin
SECRETORY CELLS what is the function of gastrin
- stimulate parietal cells to produce secretions
2. stimulate chief cell to produce secretion
SECRETORY CELLS what cells are involved in protection
surface mucosa cell
SECRETORY CELLS what cells are involved in digestion (3)
- mucous neck
- parietal
- chief
SECRETORY CELLS what cells are involved in GI regulation
neuroendocrine
SI what kind of epithelium makes up mucosal layer
simple squamous epithelium
SI what is the main function of duodenum
digestion
SI what is the main function of jejunum
absorption
SI what is the main function of ileum
absorption
SI where does SI start and end
start = pyloric sphincter end= ileocecal valve of cecum
SI what quadrants can SI be found in
all 4
SI how is SI specialized for absorption
- contains folds
- each fold contains villi
- each villi contains micrtovillli
SI what is associated w each villus (2)
- vasculature
2. lymphatics
SI what 4 types of cells make up villar epithelium
- absorptive cell
- goblet cell
- enteroendocrince cell
- paneth cell
SI what is absorptive cell
main epithelial cell
SI what is the function of goblet cell
secrete mucous
SI what is the function of enteroendocrine cell
regulate (by releasing hormones)
SI what is the function of paneth cell
kill bacteria (to determine gut flora)
SI what do sugars get broken into
monosaccharides
SI what do proteins get broken into
aa
SI where do monosaccharide and aa go
hepatic portal circulation
SI what do fats get broken into
fatty acids ==> chylomicrons ==> chyle
SI where do fats go
lacteals
