lecture 15 - digestion Flashcards
serosa of the stomach forms:
part of the peritoneum
what promotes peristaltic movements
enteric reflexes
distention of the duodenum inhibits
gastric motility
this reduces teh rate of chyme expulsion from stomach
enterogastric reflex
prevents too much chyme from entering SI
rate of HCL is reduced and chyme digestion is increased
involved sympathetic motor impulses to inhibit gastric motility
all blood leaves liver in the
hepatic vein
functions of the small intestine
digestion adn abdorption of nutrients
length of SI
6.5m 2.5cm in diameter
3 sections of SI
duodenum
jejunum
ileum
digestion and absorption is facilitated by
large SA of the SI
circular folds of the SI
cannot strethc like rugae of stomach
folds of the mucosa and submucosa
increases SA, causes chyme to spiral
intestinal villi of the SI
finger like projections of the mucosas circular folds
lamina propria contains capillaries for them
covered in simple columnar epi
microvilli of the SI
finger like projections of the intestinal villis absorptive cells
mucosa of the SI
simple columnar epi
contains muscularis mucosae
has goblet cells and absorptive cells
contains enteroendocrine cells like
- S cells - secretin
- CCK cells - cholecsystokinin
- K cells - glucose dependent insulinotropic peptide
has paneth cells that secrete lysozyme and are phagocytic
what cells of the SI’s mucosa secrete lysozyme
paneth cells
lamina propria of the ileum contains:
mucosa assocaited lymphoid tissue (MALT)
- immune function
submucosa of duodenum contains:
duodenal glands that secrete alkaline mucus to neutralize gastric juices
muscular layer of the SI layers
outer longitudinal
inner circular
serosa of the SI forms:
part of the visceral peritoneum
intestinal juice
alkaline substance made of water, mucus, and bicarbonate
functions to provide liquid medium to aid in absorption
contains enzymes for digestion
pH = 6-7.4
carb digesting enzymes in intestinal juice
maltase, lactase, sucrase
protein digesting enzymes in intestinal juice
dipeptidase, aminopeptidase
nucleic acid digesting enzymes in intestinal juice
phosphatase, nucleosidases
what does the enterogastric reflex do (3)
stops too much chyme from entering SI
limits intestineal damage from acid
increases digestion time of chyme in stomach
segmentation
major movement type in SI
NO net movement of chyme
localized contraction in areas containing chyme ot mix and absorb
migrating motility complex
peristaltic movement stimulated by decreased distension
occurs after msot nutrient are absrobed
propels undigested onward
two movement types regulated by the myenteric plexus of the SI
segmentation
migrating motility complex
chyme entering teh SI contains:
partially digested carbs/ fats/proteins/nucleic acids
complete chemical digestion requires: (4)
pancreatic juice
bile
intestinal juice
microvillous border enzymes
overview of digestion of carbs in the body
salivary amylase in mouth breaks down polysaccharides to disacharides and oligosaccharides (glycogen/starch/etc)
pancreatic amylase in duodenum breaks down glycogen and starch to smaller oligosaccharides
microvillous border enzymes like maltase, sucrase, and lactase act on oligosaccharides ot produce monosaccharides like glucose and fructose
lactose intolerance is caused by
no lactase enzyme
this causes lactose to not be broken down, which allows bacteria to ferment the sugars, causing gas and diarrhea
