Test 4.4 Flashcards
What does rugae in the stomach allow for
Allow for expansion and can increase the stomach by 50x
What happens to food in the stomach
Mechanical digestion
Chemical digestion -proteins denatured by acid -plant and connective tissue acid breakdown -fats and carbs
Lingual lipase and amylase still work until stomach pH drops under?
4.5
What are gastric pits
Stomach lining
-cells last 3-7 days
Mucus cells
-protect stomach from digesting itself
What does gastric glands consists of
Makes gastric juice
What are the different cells in the Gastric glands
Parietal cells
Cheif cells
G-cells (gastrin)
What do the parietal cells do in the gastric glands
Instrinic factor (B12 absorption)
Hydrochloric acid
What is the pH for an empty stomach
2
What does the chief cells in the gastric glands consist of
Pepsinogen (proenzyme) degrades protein
Activated by acid—–> pepsin
What does the G-cells do in the gastric glands
Hormone activates gastric glands
What are the three phases of _______
Cephalic phase
Gastric phase
Intestinal phase
What does the cephalic phase consist of
Sight,smell, sound
•sight of food activates PNS
- signals via vagus nerve (ANS) - cells in gastric pit activated
What does the gastric phase consist of
Depends on stomach stimuli
- stretch of stomach
- increased pH
- proteins (empty slow)
- carbs, alcohol, coffee (empty quickly)
How long does food stay in your stomach
Up to 3-4 hrs
What does the intestinal phase consist of
-food moves on to intestine
-chyme emptying is controlled to maximize absorption
•pyloric sphincter
-enterogastric reflex activated as intestines are stretched
•gastric glands inhibited
•intestine hormone secretion activated
decreased intestinal pH
CCK
Cholecystokinin
GIP
Gastric inhibitory peptide
What happen at the small intestine
90% of absorption
It the size of a tennis court
What are the segments of the small intestine
Duodenum
Jejunum
Ileum
