midterm 1 Flashcards
Where does 1/3 of the hepatic blood supply come from?
Hepatic artery proper
Where does 2/3 of the hepatic blood supply come from?
Venous blood from hepatic portal vein
- All blood leaving absorptive surfaces of digestive tract flows through hepatic portal vein
- Liver cells extract nutrients or toxins from blood before it joins systematic circulation via hepatic veins
What is the gallbladder?
Stores and concentrates bile prior to excretion into small intestine
What is the cystic duct?
extends from gallbladder and joins common hepatic duct to form common bile duct
What stimulates bile release?
CCK
What are the 3 parts of the small intestine?
Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum
What are the functions of the duodenum? (2)
- Receive chyme from the stomach
- Neutralize acids before they damage absorptive surfaces of small intestine
What are the functions of the jejunum?
Chemical digestion and nutrient absorption
What breaks down material on the microvilli in the small intestine?
Brush border
What are the functions of the large intestine? (4)
- Absorption or reabsorption of nutrients
- Compaction of intestinal contents into feces
- Absorption of important vitamins produced by bacteria
- Storage of fecal material prior to defecation
What is absorbed or reabsorbed in the large intestine? (5)
Water, Nutrient, Bile salts, Organic wastes, Vitamins and toxins created by microbiome
What are the parts of the large intestine? (3)
cecum, Colon, Rectum
Where does material go after the ileum?
cecum
What are haustra?
pouches in wall of colon that allow for expansion and elongation of colon
What creates haustra?
teniae coli
What are the 4 regions of the colon?
Ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid
Does the large intestine have villi?
no
What does the microbiome refer to?
Bacteria, fungi and viruses that live in and on the human body
What vitamins are produced by bacteria in colon? (3)
Vitamin K, Biotin, Vitamin B5
What is vitamin K used for?
synthesizing clotting factors in liver
What is biotin used for?
glucose metabolism
What is vitamin B5 used for?
Manufacturing steroid hormones and neurotransmitters
Which of the vitamins produced in the colon is fat soluble?
K
Define energy
ability to perform work
What are the forms of work in the body? (4)
Chemical - storing CHO by forming glycogen for later use
Electrical - maintenance of distribution of ions across cell membranes
Mechanical - force production by skeletal muscle
Transportation - circulation of blood throughout body to deliver oxygen, nutrients and other compounds to tissues
What are the 2 states of energy?
Potential and Kinestic
What is an endogenous reaction?
process of reactions that store energy
- re-phosphorylating ATP
What are exogenous reactions?
reactions that release enegry
What is used to store and release energy in cells?
ATP
How is ATP broken down to create enegry?
enzymes (ATPases) break down ATP to create ADP and P
How is ATP re-phosphorylayted? (3)
ATP-CP, creatine phosphate
Glycolysis
Oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic meabolism, cellular respiration
What are the steps in oxidative phosphorylation? (4)
Glycolisis, conversion to Acetyl CoA, Citric Acid Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
What is a calorie?
heat required to raise temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree C
What is direct calorimetry? (bomb calorimetry?)
Measures energy directly
- food samples are borned in closed system surrounded by bath of water
- heat is released when food is burned
- because thermal energy of food is directly measured process is called direct calorimetry
How any Cal is in 1 gram of CHO?
4
How any Cal is in 1 gram of protein?
4
How any Cal is in 1 gram of fats?
9
How any Cal is in 1 gram of alchohol?
