P2 PHYSIOLOGY Flashcards
gut smooth muscle action potential is stimulated by
Increased intra-cellular Ca levels
mixed food bolus is termed as
chyme
proteins are digested by what enzyme
HCL & pepsin
lipids are digested by what enzyme
lipase
Carbs are digested by which enzyme
salivary amylase
cells secreting pepsin
peptic / chief cells
cells secreting HCL
parietal cells
cells secreting intrinsic factors
parietal cells
only these 2 substances gets absorbed form stomach
alcohol / aspirin
Functions of the stomach
motility / digestion / secretion / absorption
motility function of the stomach
storage
mixing food into “chyme”
emptying “Propulsion”
stomach secret these substances
Intrinsic factors
HCL
pepsin
alkaline mucus
type of relaxation that prepares stomach to anticipate food bolus
receptive relaxation
nerve that activates receptive relaxation
vagus nerve
part of the stomach that releases chemical substances inducing receptive relaxation
fundus of the stomach
