Test 4 Ap Flashcards
Stages of digestion
Ingestion
Digestion
Absorption
Compaction
Excretion
What is chemical digestion
Hydrolysis reaction —> breaks dietary macromolecules into individual monomers
What are the enzymes found in chemical reaction
Polysaccharides (glucose)
Proteins (amino acids)
Lipids (monoglyceride/fatty acids)
Nucleic acids—-> nucleotides
What are the accesory organs
Teeth,tongue,salivary glands,liver,gallbladder, pancreas
What is in the digestive tract
Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus
Enteric nervous control
Esophagus, stomach, intestines
Regulates digestive tract mobility
Secretion
Blood flow
Nerve networks from enteric nervous control
Submucosa plexus- controls grandular secretion
Controls movement of muscularis mucosae
Myenteric plexus- parasympathetic (ganglia and nerve fiber)
Controls paristalsis
Peritoneum
Serious membrane that lines peritoneal cavity of abdomen
Most digestion occurs within this
NOT IN PERITONEUM CAVITY—> DUODENUM, PANCREAS, PARTS OF LARGE INTESTINE
HAS TWO LAYERS
DORSAL - suspends Gi tract and forms serosa of STOMACH AND INTESTINES
VENTRAL- forms lesser and greater omentum
Lacy layer of connective tissue and contains lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, blood vessels
Appearance of this because of many holes pf gaps in the membrane and irregular distribution of fatty tissue
Regulation of digestive tract
Motility and secretion of digestive tract are controlled by
Neural
Hormonal- secreted into blood stream (stimulate distant parts of digestive tract)
Hormones created—> gastric and secretion
Paracrine secretions- chemical messengers diffuse through tissue fluid
Stimulate nearby cells
Secretions —-> histamine and prostaglandins
Teeth: Dentition
Deciduous : baby teeth (20) by age 2
Adult: (32) 16 in mandible and maxilla
Incisors, canines, premolars, molars
Tooth and gum disease
Humans mouth : 700 species of microorganisms
Plaque: sticky residue —> bacteria or sugars
Root canal therapy —-> if cavity reaches pulp
Gingivitis : inflammation of gums
Periodontal disease: destruction of supporting bone around teeth (may result in tooth loss)
Mastication or chewing (step 1)
Breaks food into smaller pieces to be swallowed
Contact of food with sensory receptors—> triggers chewing reflex
Functions of saliva
Moistens the mouth
Begins starch and fat digestion
Cleanse teeth
Inhibit bacteria
Moistens food and binds it together into bolus
Hypotonic solution
99.5% water and solutes
Hypotonic solution: amylase
Begins starch digestion
Hypotonic solution: Lingual lipase
Digest fat after reaches the stomach (activated by stomach acid)
Hypotonic solution: Mucous
Binds and lubricates mass of food and aids in swallowing
Hypotonic solution: Lysozyme
Enzyme that kills bacteria
Hypotonic solution: Immunoglobulin
Inhibits bacteria growth
PH of saliva/salivary glands
6.8 —> 7.0
Extrinsic glands
3 types:
Parotid gland: earlobe
Submandibular gland:
Sublingual gland: floor of mouth
2 cells
Mucous cell: secrete mucous
Serous cell —> secrete thin fluid (rich in enzymes) amylase and electrolytes
Salivation
Salivary glands secrete: 1 —-> 1.5 L of saliva per day
Salivary amylase —> beings to digest starch (food is chewed)
Binds food particles into soft —> slippery —> blous
The esophagus:
Mucosa: nonkaretinized stratified squamous epithelium
Submucosa: esophageal glands
Muscularis external: skeletal muscle in
Upper skeletal —-> smooth in bottom (shift)
Voluntary ———-> involuntary of swallowing
Swallowing (deglutition)
Action involving 22 muscles
Mouth —> pharynx —> esophagus
Medulla oblongata coordinates swallowing
Stages in swallowing
Oral (buccal) phase :voluntary control
Pharyngeal: involuntary control
Esophageal: involuntary wave of muscular contraction and pushes bolus ahead of it
Oral (Buccal) phase
Tongue forms food bolus and pushes into laryngopharynx
Pharyngeal phase
Palate —> tongue —> vocal cords —> epiglottis
Block ORAL — > NASAL —> airway
Pharyngeal constrictors push bolus into esophagus
