Plica circularis: surface area ( does not expand like rugae)

Lacetal

  • lymph vessel
  • fat absorption

Capillary beds
-facilitate absorption

24

Mucus cells

Microvilli

25
Q

If food enters the stomach what happens to pH

A

It increases

26
Q

small proteins and carbs enter ________ for nutrient transport

A

Capillaries

-direct transport to liver

27
Q

Larger lipids enter ______ for nutrient transport

A

Lacetals

  • make a round trip in the lymph system
  • enter CV system via large vein
  • eventually circulate to liver
28
Q

What are the components of the liver

A

Hepatocytes adjust nutrient content

Bile production (break up lipids)

Bile stored in gallbladder

Bile is recycled

29
Q

What are hepatocytes

A

Liver cells

30
Q

What are the characteristic of hepatocytes

A

-receives venous blood from digestive organs

-has reserve to add nutrients: carbs, lipids, proteins
•under hormonal control
•nutrients exit via leaky capillaries

31
Q

What does bile production in the liver consists of

A

Emulsification

Salt breaks up lipids

32
Q

What does bile stored in the gallbladder consists of

A

CCK tiggers release

  • duodenum horomone
  • opens hepatopancreatic sphincter
  • Gall stores form from bile salt if too concentrated
33
Q

Where is bile reabsorbed

A

Ileum

34
Q

Do you need your gallbladder

A

No

35
Q

The liver secretes roughly how much per day

A

1 liter

36
Q

What are the characteristics of the pancreas

A

Shared structure
-digestive (exocrine)
•makes enzymes and buffers (pancreatic juices) in acini
•neutralizes stomach acid

37
Q

What does trysinogen (proenzyme) activate

A

Intestine secretions

38
Q

What’s the transport that occurs in the pancreas

A

To duodenum via pancreatic duct

39
Q

How long is food in the intestine

5 he’s

40

CCK
VIP

42
Q

What are the different parts in the large intestine

A

Rectum

43
Q

What does the cecum do

A

Ilieocecal valve

44

Reabsorbs water

Harbors bacteria

45
Q

What does the rectum do

A

Anal canal

Anus

Harbor bacteria

Little absorption (

47
Q

What content is contain in the large intestine when it harbor Bacteria

49
Q

Why is poop brown
