Session 9 Digestive system and Nutrition & Metabolism Flashcards
7-8%
main organ
tube
mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine , large intestine
small intestine
most digestion and absorption
3 parts
duodenum (secrete hormone chloeocystokinin CCK only when there is food) where it get juices mostly chemical digestion
jejunum
ileum (longest)
large intestine
cecum
colon (ascending transverse descending sigmoid = high bacteria content)
rectum
anal canal
ingestion
complex food take in
digestion
breakdown of complex food all the way to monomers
complex nutrients into simpler ones
digestion have two ways:
mechanical and chemical
mechanical digestion
breaking large chunks into smaller pieces
chemical digestion
involves acids and enzymes
chemically breaks down large molecules into smaller ones
Motility
movement of food along the GI tract
resulting from muscle contraction
secretion
secreting enzymes and other products
release of digestive juices and hormones that facilitates digestion
absorption
movement of digested nutrients into the internal environment of the body.
elimination
can’t digest coming out as a waste out of alimentary canal/GI tract
layers/ walls of digestive tract
serosa (outer layer)
muscularis
submucosa
mucosa (inner layer)
peristalsis
series of contractions that allow the food to move
wave like movement pushes food along the tract
segmentation
mushing it up on smaller pieces
chemical digestion
salivary glands
all for lubrication and moistening as you swallow
3 parts
parotid
submandibular
sublingual
parotid
largest
serous secretions with enzymes (AMYLASE = maltose)
mumps
submandibular
middle wall of jawline
Serous with enzymes
mucous type no enzymes
sublingual
smallest
mucous type
soft palette prevent food from going through nasal cavity
pharynx
prevent food from going through trachea
Epiglottis
another name for swallowing
deglutition
only organ that can handle HCL acid
stomach
bolus
food after mastication (chewing)superior and
part of stomach superior and lateral from GI tract
