GIT Physiology Flashcards
2 set of teeth develop in course of a lifetime
Deciduous 20 start to erupt at 6 months o a\f age
Permanent teeth start to erupt at 6years of age
Salivary gland in the mouth how many And what type of glands are they
3 pairs of exocrine glands empty in the mouth .
1 parotid glands , duct opens an]T the 2nd upper molar
Submandibuler gland duct opens on either side at the frenulum of the tongue
Sublingual gland ; duct opens at at the floor of the mouth
Amount of acid a produced in the mouth per day
1.5 L
What enzyme does saliva contains mainly
Amylase .
Digestive tract have 4 layers mention thems
msMs , mucosa , submucosa , s]muscular layer , serosa
Which digestive tract layer contain blood vessel nerve and Lymph
Submucosal one
Which layer responsible about contraction
Muscular layer
Which layer have meissener plexus
Submucosal
Which layer responsible about secretions
Submucosal layer
Which layer contain mesentric auribach plexus
Muscular layer
Which layer is continuation with the peritoneum
Serosa layer
Amount of gastric secretions per day
3 L .
What does gastric secretion consist of
Hcl
Pespinogen
Intrinsic factor for absorption of vitamin b12
Acidity of the hcl in the gastric secretions is
Hcl has a ph 1.5 to 3.5
Digestion has 3 phases mention them
Cephalic phase
Gastric phase
Intestinal phase
Which enzyme is secreted in the gastric phase
Gastrin, this phase continues until the stomach is emptied and the ph reachs]es 1.5
What’s the main event in the intestinal phase
Production of 3 hormones
GIP gastric inhibiting peptide , inhibits gastric motility and secretion .
Secretin , inhibits gastric secretions .
Cholecystokinin inhibity]snthe gastric emptying
Duration of gastric emptying
2-6 hours
Which substance stay the longest time in the stomach
Proteins
Duration of intestinal emptying
3-5 hours
What is the name of digested food
Chyme
Main characteristic of small intestine epithelium
Have microvilli ( brush border ) .
Ph of small intestines is
7.5 alkaline .
Amount of small intestine secretions is
3 L /day
Food movement in the small intestine is by 2 things
1- peristalsis
2 - segmentation .
The only site for absorption of bile salts and vitamin b12 in the GIt is
Ileum ( small intestine )
Most critical site for fluid and sodium conservation in the git
Ileum
Jejunum is
Hypertonic , isotonic or hypotonic
Isotonic
Which one is 3 times slower than the other
Jejunum or ileum
Ileum is 3 times slower than the Jejunum .
Resection of the ileum results in
Loss of bile salts that is not met by bile synthesis
Reduction of bile salts pool
Renal calculus
Cholelithiasis
Short gut syndrome
Increases intestinal Transit
Ileum resection leads to bile salts decreasement lead to 2 things to occur
Diarrhea
Reduction in salt and water resorption
Diarrhea due to ileum resection occurs due to
Treated by
Bile salts loss in the colon
Treated by cholestyramine
