Part 9: Gastrointestinal system II Flashcards
stomach is _____ that is where? vasculature from? function?
Muscular sac that stores food temporarily
Intraperitoneal in LUQ
Vasculature from celiac trunk (foregut)
Mechanically breaks down bolus of food (mixing & churning - segmentation) -Through contractions of muscular wall
Chemically & enzymatically digests food -Through actions of secreted acid & enzymes
Mixes bolus & gastric juices to form chyme (viscous, acidic, soupy mixture)
label stomach
blue: fundus
green: greater curvature
red: body
yellow: pyloric canal
purple: lesser curvature
orange: cardia
stomach epithelium
simple columnar epithelium
folds in stomach epithelium is ____
rugae
___ layers of smooth muscle in stomach wall : _______
3 layers of smooth muscles: inner oblique, middle circular, outer longitudinal
gastric gland cell label
yellow: surface mucous cell -> mucous
teal: mucous neck cell -> mucous
pink: parietal cell -> HCl
purple: chief cell -> pepsin, lipase
blue: neuroendocrine cell -> gastrin
small & large intestines epithelium
simple columnar epithelium
small intestine parts
duodenum, jejunum, ileum
small intestine is specialized for ____
absorption: circular folds (plicae circulares), villi, & microvilli
small intestine is where?
intraperitoneal (exception: most of the duodenum)
small intestine starts from _____to the ____;found in all _____
pyloric orifice of the stomach
ileocecal valve (beginning of large intestine)
quadrants
Duodenum (descr.) + where? receives __ from stomach, secretions of ____ (via ___)
25 cm C-shaped segment in RUQ
Both intra & retroperitoneal
Receives chyme from stomach
Receives secretions of pancreas & liver (via gallbladder)
Duodenum is responsible for digestion of _______
fat, proteins, & sugars
Vasculature of duodenum is _____
anastomosis of the celiac (C) & SMA branches
_____ provide abundant alkaline mucous to ______ entering duodenum (with pancreatic buffers)
Brunner’s glands
neutralize acid contents
Brunner’s glands found in ____
submucosal layer
Bile secreted by ____& stored in the _____into the duodenum- aid in digestion of ____
Liver
gallbladder
lipids
Chyme in duodenum stimulates mucosa to produce hormones (____) to release _____.
secretin & cholecystokinin - CCK
pancreatic juice & bile
pancreas secretes enzymes though ____ that aid in digestion _____ + _____
hepatopancreatic ampulla
of fats, proteins, & carbs + bicarbonate buffer
pancreas is where?
- Posterior to stomach, between duodenum & spleen
- Retroperitoneal (upper quadrants)
pancreas vasculature
anastomosis of celiac & SMA branches
pancreas is ____ gland
endocrine & exocrine gland
pancreas secretion + function
Secretes digestive enzymes –>Digest food in small intestine
Secretes bicarbonate buffer –>Neutralizes acidic chyme from stomach, Establishes alkaline pH for pancreatic digestive enzymes
pancreas anatomy
red: abdominal aorta
green: splenic artery
blue: main pancreatic duct (into hepatopancreatic ampulla)
purple: splenic vein
endocrine secretion of pancreas
-Hormones such as glucagon (alpha), insulin (beta), & somatostatin (delta) by cells in Islets of Langerhans
Exocrine secretion (pancreatic juice) of pancreas
Pancreatic acini -functional unit of exocrine pancreas, secretes juice
Water, ions, & digestive enzymes
Buffers (sodium bicarbonate)
Neutralize acidic chyme, break down ingested material
Pancreatic acinus: 2 types of cells
Acinar cells secrete digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase, proteinase)
Centroacinar cells secrete bicarbonate buffer & regulate pre-enzyme release from acinar cells
label pancreatic acinus
yellow: secretory granules
purple: acinar cells (secretory unit)
blue: duct
red: centroacinar cells (bicarbonate production)
