Question 14

what is oral cavity (buccal) lined with

Answer 14

• stratified squamous

- keratoinzed if food abraisens

Question 15

what does food stimulating oral receptors do

Answer 15

trigger involuntary chewing reflex

Question 16

what is mastication and what does it allow

Answer 16

chewing= mech digestion

• easy to swallow
• SA for enzymes

Question 17

determine if herbi or carni

Answer 17

herb= teeth come together at same time

flatter teeth

Question 18

two types of salivary gland

Answer 18

intrinsic

extrinsic

Question 19

3 types of intrinsic saliva glands and their function

Answer 19

lingual
labial
buccal
- lingual lipase, saliva

Question 20

3 types of extrinsic saliva glands and their function

Answer 20

parotid
submandibular
sublingual

Question 21

PNS response to salivary glands

Answer 21

facial + glosso

= thin, enzyme rich saliva

Question 22

SNS response to salivary glands

Answer 22

superior cervicle ganglion

= less, thicker, saliva

Question 23

3 things saliva contains

Answer 23

salivary amylase
linguil lipase
mucus

Question 24

summarise digestion in oral cavity

Answer 24

mechanical 
salivary amylase (polysaccharides > oli_|)
lingual lipase (fat digestion)

Question 25

pharyngeal constrictor muscles

Answer 25

force food down when swallowing

Question 26

2 phases of swallowing

Answer 26

buccal phase (voluntary)
pharyngoesphageal phase (invol)

Question 27

what prevents food from coming back into mouth

Answer 27

tongue against hard palate
pharyngeal constrictor muscles
epiglottis close

Question 28

what is peristalsis controlled by

Answer 28

myenteric plexus

Question 29

change in tissue from gastro-oesophageal junction

Answer 29

stratified squamous > simple columnar

Question 30

rugae

Answer 30

folds outside stomach= flatten when full

Question 31

whats different about muscular external in stomach

Answer 31

3 layers= inner oblique muscle (mechanical digestion)

Question 32

what splinter is b/w stomach and duo

Answer 32

pyloric

Question 33

whys there tight junction b/w simple columnar of stomach

Answer 33

prevents gastric juice from digestion lamina propria

Question 34

4 types of cell in stomach

Answer 34

mucous: secrete mucos + resist acid
stem= continual new cells
parietal= HCL + intrinsic
chief cells= pepsinogen + gastric lipase

Question 35

what is a zymogen and example in stomach

Answer 35

digestive enzyme thats a inactive protein

pepsinogen

Question 36

pepsinogen to pepsin

Answer 36

parietal cells HCL removes amino acid = pepsin

Question 37

summery digestion in stomach

Answer 37

mechanical (churning)
pepsin (>peptide chains)
gastric + lingual lipase (fat digestion

what happens in duodenum (4)

Answer 38

• stomach acid nutrilsed by bicarbonate form pancreas
• pepsin inactivated with higher pH
• bile acids emulsify fats
• chemical digestion by pancreatic enzymes
