Lecture 52 Flashcards
what does the stomach generate to hydrolyze & unfold proteins
HCL
primary function of the large intestine
- water reabsorption
- fermentation
What organs/structures support the GIT system
- Salivary glands
- Pancreas
- Liver
which surface of GIT tract faces the lumen
mucosal
which surface of the GIT wall that faces the blood
serosal
epithelial cells that secrete and absorb nutrients
mucosal cells
contains connective tissue, blood, and lymph
lamina propria
smooth muscle cells that change the shape and surface area of epithelial cells
muscularis mucosae
has collagen, elastin, and blood vessels
submucosal layer
two layers most superficial under ther serosal layer
- circular muscular layer
- longitudinal muscular layer
what ganglia is between the submucosa and circular layer of the GIT wall
submucosal / meissners plexus
what ganglia is between the circular and longitudinal layer
myenteric/ aurbachs plexus
is the extrinisic compnent of the GIT sympathetic or parasympathetic innervation
both
where does the intrinsic (enteric) component live
submucosal/ myenteric plexus
t/f : intrinsic ( enteric) component can operate independently of the brain and spinal cord
T
intrinsic ( enteric ) nervous system communicated via what type of neurons
INTERneurons
how can the enteric nervous system control functions of GIT in absence of extrinsic
short reflex arc
is the enteric compnent of the GIT sympathetic or parasympathetic innervation
both
The ganglia of myenteric and submucosal plexuses in the gastrointestinal tract are characterized by their ability to
Receive sensory information and send motor signals to various cell types
