Lec 33 Flashcards
oral phase
3 pairs of salivary glands
antibacterial actions
salivary glands are under —- control
autonomic–mostly parasympathetic
swallowing reflex
1- tongue push bolus back of mouth, trigger swallow reflex
2- breathing is inhibited
3- food moves downward into esophagus by peristaltic waves
gastric phase function
1- digestion
2- protection: protect itself with mucus and bicarbonate
3- storage: regulated release of chyme
stomach lumen ph
2
mucus and hco3- is secreted by
gastric mucus cells
pepsin is active between ph
1.8-3.5
pepsin start protein digestion by
breaking peptide bonds
absorbable bits of carbs
Monosaccharides
absorbable bits of protein
amino acid
absorbable bits of lipid
small fatty acids
protein in low ph is
denatured
gastric mucosa
1- mucous surface and neck cells: mucus and bicarbonate
2- parietal cells: HCl
3- chief cells: pepsin and gastric lipase
mucus function
physical barrier lumen and epithelium
bicarbonate function
buffer gastric acid
prevent damage to epithelium
