Test #5 (final) Flashcards
Digestive system
process food, extract nutrients and eliminates waste
“Disassembly line”
Ingestion
intake of food
digestion
breakdown of food
absorption
uptake of nutrients
egestion
elimination of undigested food
motility and secretion
digestive tube (4 layers)
mucosa- secretion
submucosa- secretion (nervous tissue)
muscularis-motility (nervous tissue)
serosa- outer connective covering
salivary glands
produce saliva that help with the process
salivary amylase
deglutition
swallowing (pharynx and esophagus)
peristalsis
muscle contractions
stomach
food storage- 4 liters of food
mechanical digestion- grinding and pulverizing action
initial chemical digestion-primarily proteins
rugae- mucosa
muscular- 3 layers of cells
gastric pits
split into 2 or 3 gastric glands
1. mucous red cells secrete mucous
2.chief cells secrete pepsinogen
3. parietal cells secrete Hydrochloric acid
4. Enteroendocrine secrete release hormones
decreases pH
gastrin-stimulates parietal cells to release HCL and chief cells to release pepsinogen
histamine- release of acid
5. Chyme enters small intestine
duodenum
pancreatic juices./bile enter here
Surface area
increase absorption of nutrients 1. circular ridges (folds of tissue) 2. Villi/villus 3. microvilli mucosa layer- crypts similar to pit
gastric inhibiting peptide
inhibit stomach function and promote insulin release
secretin
stimulate pancreas and liver, inhibit parietal cells
CCk
inhibits stomach, stimulate pancreas, liver and gallbladder
pancreas
release of juices- parasympathetic system and CCK and secretin
Liver/gallbladder
produces bile bile salts- digestion Fat emulsification globin= reusable protein heme= broken down into iron and bilirubin bilirubin- toxic
GNC
gastric neuronal circuits
reflexes that stay within the digestive system
Cephalic stage
cause sight smell and thought of food
response- increase secretion in stomach
increase muscle contractions
Gastric pahse
food enters stomach
Afferent: mechanoreceptors
efferent: target secretions+muscle
response: increase in secretions, muscle contraction
Intestinal phase
food entering into small intestine Afferent: mechanoreceptors sense stretch efferent: neurons that target secretion response:decrease in secretions increase in intestinal secretions muscle contraction in small intestine
Heptatic portal system
nutrients go to liver
portal system
2 capillary beds- villus and liver
