Lecture 32 - 33 - Digestive II Flashcards
what is the parietal peritoneum?
lines body cavity
what is the visceral peritoneum?
covers organs
what is the greater omentum?
suspended from the interior curvature of the stomach to posterior abdominal wall
what is the lesser omentum?
attaches the lesser curvature of stomach to liver
what is the function of the falciform ligament?
attaches liver to inferior side of diaphragm and anterior body wall
what is the mesentery?
attaches small intestine to posterior abdominal wall
what is the mesocolon?
attaches large intestine to posterior abdominal wall
what does retroperitoneal mean?
organs that are not completely covered with peritoneum.
which organs are retroperitoneal/
pancreas
kidney
portion of duodenum
ascending and descending colon
where is the stomach located?
upper left quadrant
between esophagus and small intestine
the stomach is a j shaped organ divided into what 4 regions?
pylorus
body
fundus
cardiac
what are the borders of the stomach?
greater curvature - inferior
lesser curvature - superior
the muscularis layer of the stomach is composed of what 3 layers?
circular - inner (smooth)
longitudinal - outer (propels)
oblique layer
what is the rugae?
folds of mucosal layer
increases SA for secretion and digestion
what cells are found in the gastric glands?
chief cells
parietal cells
mucous cells
enteroendocrine cells
what enzyme do chief cells produce?
pepsinogen
what is the function of parietal cells?
produce HCl to dec pH of stomach
intrinsic factor required for B12 absorption
what hormone does enteroendocrine cells secrete?
gastrin - increases GI activity
where is the pyloric sphincter located?
most distal part of stomach
function of the pyloric sphinctor?
changes diameter by contracting and relaxing
passageway of cyme
what are the functions of the stomach?
mechanical mixing of food and chyme
initiates protein digestion
storage of cyme
absorption (minimum)
where is the small intestine located?
extends from pyloric sphincter to large intestine
occupies central and lower portion of abdominal cavity
