Function of the Muscularis of the stomach

(forms “rugae”)- muscle tissue. Relax=rugae. Can move in all directions due tothe 3 layers: (helps break down food further)




Muscularis layers


Of the stomach


• Longitudinal-striations go to length of the stomach


• Circular-striations wrap around horizontally

Cells of the lamina propria

• G-cells

Gastric physiology

stimulus of themusculature (muscularis) to create a churning motion of the stomach wall andthe production of the enzymes from the mucosa for further chemical digestion offood.

chyme

slushy breakdown of food.


Food becomechyme but the nutrients haven not been taken out.

SmallIntestine

Location: extends from the stomach to thelarge intestine.


Function: where nutrients are absorb fromfood and go into the blood stream.


Anatomy: long loose tube, anchored down by mesentery

3 sections of the Small Intestine


1. duodenum- short region. 1stregion. Common bile duct empties into it. Not a lot of absorption yet.

In SI

Secretin

a. travels to walls of stomach and tells the stomach to slow churning.


B. Returns to the wall of the SI (throughvasculature) and stimulate all the other mucosal cells to start working

CCKcells

produce “cholecystokinin”


Intestinal hormone cell. SI

cholecystokinin

a hormone that travels to the walls of the gallbladder (viabloodstream) and tell the walls of gallbladder to start contracting.


When itcontracts, it pushes excess bile into SI (duodenum), and helps to break downfat.

K cells

(glucose dependent insulinotropic peptide)


Help control levels of glucose inthe body

Function of the Large intestine

absorption of water andelectrolytes

Three regions of the Large Intestine

1. cecum


2. colon (3 sections)


3. sigmoid colon/ rectum


cecum

(blind pouch)-


beginning of the large intestine, right after ileumof small intestine.


Next to appendix


3 sections of the colon

colon is the majority of the LI a. Ascending- travel to caudal to cranial on the right side of the abdomen


b. Transverse- high in abdomen and travels from the right to left of theabdomen


c. Descending- on the left side of abdomen, runs cranial to caudal
