What is irrated by gastric juices during heartburn |
•eaphogus •gastric juices back up past the sphincter |
|
Where does peristalsis occur |
Mouth to anus |
|
Peristalsis |
Propels food through canal |
|
Major function of large intestine |
•Forms and stores feces •contains bacteria which synthesize vitamins and consume cellulose •absorbs H2o and electrolyte from the chyme |
|
Location of cecum |
Pouch at the beginning of large intestine |
|
4 regions of the stomach |
•cardiac- closest to esophagus •fundic- ballooned portion above cardiac •body- main region • pyloric- inferior region leading to pyloric canal and sphincter |
|
What causes CCK to be released |
Released from intestinal wall when fats and proteins enter small intestine •stimulates pancreas to release enzymes->gallbladder to release bile into duodenum to begin the process of digestion in sm intestine |
|
Proper order of alimentary canal |
•inner mucosa •submucosa •muscular layer •outer serosa |
|
Proper order which food passes |
•duodenum •jejunum •ileum |
|
What causes gastric ulcers |
•Helicobacterpylori (bacterium) •Stress |
|
Jaundice |
•yellowing of skin and mucous menbranes •due to accumulation of bile pigment |
|
Gallstones made of |
Cholesterol |
|
Pyloric sphincter |
•stays closed until chyme is secreted then cck is released •Round muscle that regulates the movement of chyme between the stomach and small intestine |
|
Lactose intolerance |
Missing lactase |
|
Acute pancreatitis |
When pancreatic enzymes become active before they are secreted, and digest part of pancreas (Alcoholism, gallstones, certain infections,traumatic injuries, and inherited lipose deficiency or side effects of some drugs can cause pancreatitis) |
|
Hepatitis B |
•transmitted through bodily fluids •Spreads by contact with virus-containg body fluids, such as blood, salvia, or semen •it may be transmitted by blood transfusions, hypodermic needles or sexual activity |
|
Kupffer cells |
•in the liver, phagocytosis happens in cells Found in the hepatic sinusoidal and carry on phagocytosis in the liver |
|
Emulsification |
Bile salts, emulsifactio of digestive fats •Breakdown of fat globular in the duodenum into tiny droplets, which provides a longer surface area on which the enzyme pancreatic purpose can act to digest fat into fatty acids and glycerol (Assisted by the action of bile salt) |
|
Bile |
•only bile salt have digestive function •pigments are breakdown products from red blood cells •Water •bile salt •bile pigment •cholesterol •electrolytes |
|
Function of the liver |
•secrete bile to emulsify lipids •metabolic activities •stores glycogen, vitamin A, D, B12, iron and blood •converts glucose into glycogen •filters blood •only the bile salts have digestive function Emulsification of digestive fat |
|
Mesentery AKA greater omentum |
•holds in place, provides blood supply to sm & if intestine •Double-layered fold of peritoneum •the small intestine is suspended and supported from the posterior adomanal wall by mesentery |
|
ileocecal sphincter valve |
•Where the small intestine joins the large intestine •valve remains closed unless gastroileal reflex is elicited after a meal. |
|
Hemorrhoids |
•enlarged branches of retail veins •Found in anal columns |
|
Can fat molecules with long hair atoms get into lymp system |
No, bile can break hair down |
|
What's in feces |
Undigested material, water, electrolytes, mucus, and bacteria |
|
Secretin hormone |
•neutralizes acids •Released when acid chyme enters the duodenum and nutrilize •regulates secretions in the stomach, pancreas, and liver •regulates water throughout the body for homeostasis •is a peptide hormone produced in cells of duodenum, located in intestinal glands |
|
Pancreatic enzymes digest protein |
•Trypsin •chymotrypsin •carbonxypeptidase •inactive until reaching small intestine •enzymes secreted by mucosa in sm intestine activate these enzymes |
|
Pancreatic amylase |
Pancreatic enzymes digest starches |
|
Pancreatic lipase |
Pancreatic enzymes digest fats |
|
Nucleases |
Breakdown nucleic acids |
|
B12 |
•Intrinsic factor in glycoprotein secreted by parietal cells of gastric mucosa •Needed to create new cells •role of absorption of (cobalamin) B12 in intestine Failure to produce or utilize intrinsic factor result in pernicious anemia •helps make DNA |
|
Vitamin stored in fat that is toxic |
Vitamin A |
|
Function of bile salts |
emulsify fats into smaller droplets that aide in absorption of fatty acids, cholesterol and fat soluble vitamins |
|
Small intestine functions |
•Receive secretion from pancreas and liver •complete digestion of the nutrients in chyme •absorbs product of digestion •transports remaining to lg intestine |
|
Nutrients come from |
Macronutrients Micronutrients |
|
Essential nutrients |
Those that cannot be sythnsized by human cells |
|
Monosaccharides absorbed in small intestine |
(Fructose, Galactose)(liver converts into glucose) Glucose |
|
Fat-soluble vitamins |
A,D,E,K stored in moderate quanties in body(can lead to OD) usually not destroyed by cooking |
|
Water-soluable vitamins |
B,C necessary for normal cellular metabolism, cooking distroy some Not stored in body |
|
Common bile duct connected to gallbladder |
