43 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

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

cystic duct

Main part of the stomach

Body

How offten epithelial cells replace

Every few days

Enzyme hidden in membrane of villi

Pepsin
