Prelims Quiz 1 Flashcards
Parts of the ORAL CAVITY
teeth, tongue, hard palate, and soft palate.
First step in digestion
ingestion
This is where the teeth and tongue work with salivary glands to break down food into small masses that can be swallowed, preparing them for the journey through the alimentary canal.
ingestion
___________ BEGINS WHEN THE TEETH BREAK DOWN INGESTED FOOD
MECHANICAL DIGESTION
SALIVA MOISTENS FOOD AND BEGINS THE PROCESS OF ___________
CHEMICAL DIGESTION
There are three pairs of salivary glands
parotid
sublingual
and submandibular (also called the submaxillary gland).
The tongue manipulates the chewed food into a small mass called a __________
Bolus
3 stages of swallowing
Oral (voluntary)
pharyngeal (involuntary)
Esophageal (LES relaxed)
5 steps in 1 second
- Soft palate is elevated + retracted to prevent nasopharingeal reflux
- Vocal cords are closed Epiglottis swings backward closure the larynx
- UES relaxes
- Larynx is pulled upward streching, opening E and UES
- Contractions of pharyngeal muscle
is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus.
GI tract (Gastrointestinal tract)
The hollow organs that make up the GI tract are (6)
mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.
solid organs of the digestive system.
liver, pancreas, and gallbladder
3 Parts of the small intestine
DUODENUM
JEJUNUM
ILEUM
The large intestine includes…..
appendix, cecum, colon, and rectum.
is a finger-shaped pouch attached to the cecum.
appendix
is the first part of the large intestine.
cecum
Bacteria in your GI tract, also called______ or ______ help with digestion
gut flora or microbiome
5 nerves that helps in swallowing process
5 nerves : V,VII, IX, X, XII
Enzymes break down from starch —> sugars
Amylase
Enzymes break down from proteins —> amino acids
Protease
Enzymes break down from lipids—-> Fatty acids + glycerol
Lipase
Enzymes break down from nucleic acids —-> nucleotides
Nuclease
Functions of the stomach acids ( SF, PD,AP,AIF,SDB,CES, OPS)
- Sterilizes food
- Protein digestion
- Activating Pepsin
- Activating Intrinsic Factor
- Stimulating the Delivery of Bile and Enzeymes
- Closing of the Esophageal Sphincter
- Opening the Pyloric Sphincter
Gastric Acid pH?
1.0 - 3.5 pH
is the mixing wave inside the stomach which force the chyme toward and through the pyloric sphincter.
Churning Motion
is a protein that helps your intestines absorb vitamin B12. It is made by cells in the stomach lining.
INTRINSIC FACTOR
is made of HCL, Potassium Cl, Sodium Cl which is good for digestion of proteins.
GASTRIC ACID
Electrolytes that made up the gastric acid
HCL,
Potassium Chloride,
Sodium Chloride
It propels the content/chyme from small intestine toward the colon.
INTESTINAL PERISTALSIS
_____hours- from ingestion of food to terminal ileum
4 hours
_____hours- for food to reach rectum
12 hours
Secretion of lubricating fluid
containing enzymes that
break down carbohydrates
SALIVARY GLANDS
Pharyngeal muscles propel
materials into the esophagus
Pharynx
Transport of materials to the stomach
Esophagus
Chemical breakdown of materials via acid and
enzymes; mechanical processing through muscular contractions
STOMACH
Exocrine cells secrete butters and digestive enzymes;
endocrine cells secrete hormones
PANCREAS
Enzymatic digestion and absorption of water, organic
substrates, vitamins, and ions
SMALL INTESTINE
Mechanical processing, moistening, mixing with salivary secretions
ORAL CAVITY, TEETH, TONGUE
Secretion of bile important for lipid digestion), storage of nutrients, many other vital functions
LIVER
Storage and concentration of bile
Gallbladder
Dehydration and compaction of indigestible materials in preparation for elimination
Large Intestine
