Q

pepsin breaks

A

complex dietary proteins into shorter peptide chains

27
Q

pepsin catalyzes the converstion of

A

pepsinogen into more pepsin?????????????????

28
Q

gastric lipase from chief cells combines with

A

salivary amylase to break down a small amount of dietary fat

29
Q

intrinsic factor from parietal cells is needed by

A

the small intestine to absorb vitman B12

***intrinsic factor is not a digestive substance because its an absorption substance

30
Q

vitamin B12 is needed to make

A

hemoglobin; lack of intrinsic factor can lead to development of pernicious anemia

31
Q

the wall of the stomach is impermeable to

A

most materials so absorption is limited

32
Q

things that are absorbed through stomach

A

alcohol, aspirin, and some lipid-soluble drugs

33
Q

gastric function is regulated by

A

neural and hormonal mechanisms

34
Q

neural mechanisms involve

A

parasympathetic actions of vagus nerve, as well as sympathetic actions of other nerves that decrease stomach activity

35
Q

hormonal mechanisms involve

A

gastrin

36
Q

the cephalic phase is initiated by

A

taste, sight, smell, or thoughts of food

37
Q

cerebral cortex and hypothalamus send signals to

A

medulla oblongata which transmits them along vagus nerve to submucosal nerve plexus

38
Q

parasympathetic signals increase

A

stomach motility and stimulate gastric glands to secrete gastric juice

39
Q

the presence of food in the stomach initiates

A

the gastric phase

40
Q

the gastric phase

A

mixes food with gastric juice to form chyme

41
Q

stretch receptors in stomach wall are activated and

A

parasympathetic signals trigger peristalsis

42
Q

chemoreceptors monitor

A

pH of chyme and stimulate parasympathetic fibers to release acetylcholine which stimulates secretion of gastrin

43
Q

gastrin triggers parietal cells to secrete

A

hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor

44
Q

gastrin triggers chief cells to secrete

A

pepsinogen

45
Q

secretions caused from gastrin relax

A

sphincters that regulated movement of chyme out of stomach

46
Q

gastrin secretion is inhibited when

A

pH of gastric juice falls below 2.0

47
Q

histamine acts

A

synergistically with acetylcholine and gastrin to stimulate parietal cells to release more HCl

48
Q

chyme gets released from stomach by

A

gastric emptying

49
Q

gastric emptying typically takes about

A

4 hours depending on type of meal

50
Q

meals high in carbs or primarily liquid will

A

take less time

51
Q

meal high in fat content will

A

take more time

52
Q

the movement of chyme out of the stomach through the

A

pyloric sphincter and into the small intestine initiates the intestinal phase

53
Q

presence of fatty acids and partially digested proteins in duodenum triggers

A

enterogastric neural reflex, which inhibits gastric emptying

54
Q

presence of chyme in the duodenum stimulates

A

enteroendocrine cells to release hormones that will affect stomach——–

55
Q

secretin

A

decreases gastric secretions

56
Q

cholecystokinin (CCK)

A

inhibits gastric emptying

57
Q

gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP)

A

suppresses gastric secretion and motility

58
Q

pyloric sphincter contracts tightly to

A

limit amount of chyme that enters small intestine

59
Q

vomiting is the

A

forcible expulsion of stomach contects through the mouth

60
Q

during vomiting the diaphragm

A

and abdominal muscles contract and squeeze the stomach, which expels its contents through open esophageal sphincters

61
Q

vomiting is often preceded by

A

nausea and retching because lower esophageal sphincter relaxes and stomach and duodenum contract

62
Q

vomiting can be triggered by

A

distension of stomach or by irritation from bacterial toxins, alcohol, or drugs

63
Q

vomiting can also by triggered by

A

pelvic trauma, intense pain or repulsive or horrifying sights and or smells

64
Q

prolonged vomiting is dangerous because

A

gastric juice and fluids are lost whic leads to additional fluid loss and acid/base imbalances
