First part of digestion...
mouth , physical digestion teeth chewing turning into a bolus of food.
saliva action on food is an example of what kind of digestion...
Chemical,
amylase breaks down____ into ____ and ____
startches, into glucose and maltose
when food is swallowed where does it pass...
thru the pharynx into the esophagus.
once in the esophagus what causes food,the bolus, to move toward the stomach
peristaltic action
what sphicntcer does food first pass to enter the stomach
cardiac or gastroesphageal sphincter
what type of tissue is the stomach made of
smooth muscle
how does a bolus of food turn into chyme in the stomach
contractions of the smoth muscle tissue (ridges in the stomach ) and use of enzymes
what enzymes are used in the stomach
pepsinogen (inactive form of pepsin) to break down protiens, and hydrocloric acid
what protects the stomach lining from the acid
mucosal glands , secret mucus
what sphnicter does food pass thru to exit the stomach
pyloric sphincter
when food leaves the stomach were does it go
into the duodenum
what part of the digestive system does the majority of digestion occur
duodenum
what chemical digestion occurrs in the duodenum
pancreatic enzymes break food into monomers along with bile form the liver and gall bladder that mixes with fats to emulsify them
and monomers are absorbed thru the epithelia into the blood capilaries
where does food pass after the duodemum
into the jejunum
once past the illeocecal valve what is the chyme now considered
feces
what is the purpose of the illeocecal valve
to prevent feces from reentering the small intestine, keep it moving in the right direction
where is water reabsorbed wihtin the digestive system
colon
what are the two anal sphincters made of?
1) internal sphincter is smooth muscle (invoulntary) the external sphincter is made of skeletal (voulantary)
what is the purpose of the uvula in the pharynx
CLOSE OFF THE NASAL CAVITY
what tissue is the espohagus made of
smooth muscle
what is the PH of the HCL within the stomach
2.0
within the duodenum what does the bruners gland do
releases alkaline substances to raise the ph up to 7
what does bile break down
emulsifies fats
lipase acts on lipids to form what
fatty acids and glycerol
pepsin acts on proteins to create what
amino acids
what is attatched to the cecum
apendix
what are the 4 parts of the colon( large intestine)
acending colon, transverse, decending, sigmoid colon
what bacteria is used in the colon and what does it do
E. Coli- breaks down lactose
what is the respiartory membane
simple squamous epithealium, thin so gases can pass thru by difusion (no energy)
why is air entering thru the nasal cavities mor efficient that thru the mouth
warms the air and filters it
what is the route of air entering the body:
Nose(nares) / mouth, phayrnx, larynx, trachea, primary bronchus, secondary bronchus, tertiary bronchus, to terminal bronchiole, and then the alveoli.
how does o2 get to the blood and what does it do when there
difuses thru respiratory membrane, into the blood and binds to the hemoglobin.
where does blood go once it leaves the lungs
to the heart then thru the arteries then to the capilary beds where gas exchange occures again this time o2 difuses from blood to tissues
when CO2 difuses out of the tissue it combines with what and creates what
co2 combines wiht h2o and forms carbonic acid , then assisted by carbonic anhydrase and breaks down into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.
once bicarbonate and hydrogen levels get high enough in RBC what occurrs
thru chlolirde shift , the bicarbonate (hco3-) is exchanged inthe RBC for CL- (chloride), this is brought to the lungs and the roles reversed!
what happens when the diaphram is relaxed
exhalation, less volume in the lung, higher PSI
what happens when the diaphram is contracted
inhaliation, more volume in the lung decrease in PSI
alkilatory respirosis casues what.
rapid breathing, decrease in CO2, increase in PH
respiratory acidosis causes what
asphxiation, decrease in PH and increase in CO2
What is ERV
expiratory reserve volume : amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after normal tidal volume exhaliation (1200 Ml)
what is TV
Tidal Volume: amount of air inhaled or exhaled with each breath under resting conditions (500 ml)
what is VC
Vital capacity: Max amount of air that can be ehxaled after Max inspiration (4800 ml)

VC=TV+IRV+ERV
what happens if change in radius of the air way
VC(vital capacity ) decreases, along with FEV (forced expiratory volume)
what conditions create a change in radius of air way
Bronchitis, Asthma
what is decreased in copd/ and smokers
ERV (expiratory reserve)
what happens to VC with increase in height and increase in age
Height= increased VC, Age= decrease in Vc
what is prupopse of surfactant
reduces surface tension (detergent) allows alvioli and capalaries to be closer together
what happens during hyperventaliation
increase in o2, co2 decreases, increase in PH(alkalosis)
what happens in rebreathing (breathing in a bag)
decrease in O2, co2 increases, Decrease in PH (acidosis)
how does emphysema and asthma effect respiratory volumes
limit flow in volume, not enough 02 in
what does exerscise do for respiratory volumes
increase in reserve and tidal volumes
when taking med for asthma what occurs
stops the spasms of the smooth muscles
salivary amylase does what , where
breaks startch into maltose and glucose, in the mouth
gastric glands does what, where
secrets Pepsinogen, HCl, Mucus, in the stomach
Pepsin does what , where
breaks down chyme into poly peptides, in the stomach
Pepsinogen does what , where
reacts (turned on) by the Hcl to form pepsin,, in the stomach
Musocal glands does what, where
secrete mucus to protect the stomach
brush border enzymes do what, where
enzymes bound to the microvilli have transporters , allow for absorbtion of digestied nutrients, within the small intestine/ duodenum
duodenal glands do what, where
produce mucus rich alkali secretion (bicarbonate), helps in absorption and buffers from acidic chyme, within the duodenum
