Mace - Digestion Flashcards
fxn’s of GI tract (6)
ingestion
motility
secretion
digestion
absorption
elimination
mechanical ingestion breaks __ bonds
H
chemical digestion breaks __ bonds
covalent
GI organs (7)
oral cavity
pharynx
esophagus
stomach
SI
LI
anus
accessory digestive organs (5)
teeth
tongue
salivary glands
liver
gallbladder
pancreas
the pancreas and liver are referred to as accessory glands bc
food does not pass thru them
layers of the GI tract - deep to superficial
mucosa
submucosa
muscularis externa
serosa or adventitia
the mucosa consists of the (3)
epithelium
lamina propria
muscularis mucosa
the submucosa consists of (4)
connective tissue
blood vessels
lymphatic vessels
nerves
2 layers of the muscularis externa
inner circular m
outer long m
serosa/adventitia
visceral peritoneum in abd cavity → serous membrane
thorax
around rectum/anus
retroperitoneal parts in abd
other defined structures of GIT (2)
enteric NS
mesenteries
the serosa is continuous w. the
mesentery
what passes through the mesentery
vein
artery
lymph vessel
the enteric ns consists of (2)
submucosal n plexus
myenteric n plexus
the enteric ns can fxn __
independent of CNS
layering formed by parietal and/or visceral peritoneum
mesenteries
mesenteries of GIT (4)
greater omentum
mesentery proper
lesser omentum
mesocolon
histology of GIT wall
how are the contents of the GI tract “mixed”
segmentation of muscularis
extrinsic salivary glands are sensitive to (3)
touch
smell
taste
extrinsic salivary glands are innervated by
SNS
PSNS
3 extrinsic salivary glands of the GIT
parotid
sublingual
submandibular
parotid gland secretes __%
25
submandibular gland secretes __%
65
intrinsic salivary glands are __ cells
in the __ lining of the mouth
that secrete at a __ rate
single
mucosal
constant
intrinsic salivary glands (3)
lingual
labial
buccal
gland anterior to and somewhat inferior to the ears - between the skin of the cheeks and the masseter m
parotid
gland in the floor of the mouth on the inside surface of the mandible
submandibular
gland in the floor of the mouth inferior to the tongue
sublingual
clear, watery serous fluid rich in salivary amylase
secretion of parotid gland
some serous fluid w. some mucus; more viscous than parotid secretion
secretion of submandibular gland
primarily thick, stringy mucus
secretion of sublingual glands
which gland is made up of many separate ducts
sublingual glands
which salivary gland ducts open inferior to the tongue near the frenulum
submandibular gland ducts
which salivary gland ducts pass thru the buccinator m and enter the mouth opposite the second molars
parotid gland ducts
deglutition is same-same
swallowing
3 phases of deglutition
- voluntary
- pharyngeal
- esophageal
voluntary phase of deglutition is same-same
buccal phase
bolus of food is pushed by the tongue against hard palate → then moves toward the oropharynx
voluntary/buccal phase of deglutition
soft palate and uvula elevate and close nasopharynx → bolus moves into oropharynx
pharyngeal phase
in the pharyngeal phase, what structures close off the nasopharynx (2)
soft palate
uvula
in the pharyngeal phase of deglutition, the __ elevates
so that the __ closes over the laryngeal opening
larynx
epiglottis
soft palate, uvula, and epiglottis return to preswallowing position
superior esophageal sphincter closes
inferior esophageal sphincter opens
esophageal phase of deglutition
storage capacity of stomach: __
stomach contents exit in __ ml portions
4L
3 mL
the lesser curve of the stomach connects to the
the greater curve of the stomach connects to the
lesser omentum
greater omentum
3 layers of the stomach
longitudinal
circular
oblique
the myenteric n plexus is between the __
and __ muscle layers of intestine
in the __ layer
longitudinal and inner
muscularis externa
the submucosal n plexus is located in the ___ layer
submucosal
where does the stomach wall switch from simple columnar to simple cuboidal
lamina propria of mucosal layer
gastric pit and gastric gland
which gastric cell secretes alkaline fluid containing mucin
surface mucous cell
fxn of mucin
protects stomach wall
gastric cell that secretes acidic fluid containing mucin
mucous neck cell
gastric cell that secretes intrinsic factor and HCl
parietal cell
gastric cell that secretes pepsinogen and gastric lipase
chief cell
gastric cell that secretes gastrin into the blood
G-cell
the mucous membrane of the stomach secretes __ juice
from __ gastric glands
gastric
tubular
how is pepsin formed
from pepsinogen in the presence of HCl
fxn of pepsin
protein splitting enzyme
why is gastric lipase a weak enzyme
low pH
what is needed for B12 absorption
intrinsic factor
how is the stomach regulated
pacemaker cells
3 phases of stomach regulation
cephalic
gastric
intestinal
