cephalic phase, gastric phase, intestinal phase

101
Q

what does cephallic phase do?
What nerve is it mediated by?

what is it activated in response to?

Stimulates production of?

A

recieves the bolus from esophagus by relaxing the gastroeophageal sphincter, fundus and body of stomach
mixing and churning into chyme thru waves of peristalsis and segmental contractions
the chyme is released into small intestine

Secretin:

140
Q

what does cholecytsokinin (CCK) do?

A

stimulates secretion of HCO3- into pancratic duct - also feeds back to inhibit acid secretion from parietal cells

142
Q

what does the liver produce and what is this needed for?

A

produces bile - needed for digestion of lipids

143
Q

what does the galbladder do?

A

stores, concentrates and regulates release of bile via the common bile duct

144
Q

what does the common bile duct join?

A

the main pancreatic duct and liver and secretes product into the duodenum

145
Q

3 other functions of liver other than rpoducing bile

A

Metabolism of nutrients
- Detoxification / metabolism of drugs
- Preparation of waste products for excretion

146
Q

explain regulation of bile secretion

A

1) duodenal cells secrete CCK and secetin into. blood
2) CCK triggers contraction of galbladder whch then releases bile
3) bile salts and secretin trigger release of more bile (pos feeedbak loop). bile secretions continue until duodenum empti3es

147
Q

Explain how bile secretion is reg by a positive feedback loop?

A

cck and secretin triggeer contraction of the gallbladder which releases bile the bile salts then trigger the release of more bile until the duodenum is empty

148
Q

where does mechanical digestion occur?

A

mouth, stomach, small intestine

149
Q

whre does chem digestion occur?

A

stomach, mouth, small int

150
Q

explain how carbs are digested (not incl absorption)

A

first salivary amylase begins digest polysacharide chains into oligosaccharides
nothing in stomach - no chem digestion
pancreatic amylase continues digestion
the brushborder enzymes finish digestion of oligosaccahrides into monosaccharides

151
Q

what are the brush border enzymes that finish digestion of carbs/

A

lactase, maltase, sucrase

in small intestine, glucose, galactose and fructose

153
Q

How are carbs absorbed?

packaged into chylomicrons and enters the lymhatic system
