Medulla and lower pons
#14 How does move through the pharnyx to the esophagus
Peristalsis
#15 When is food converted into chyme
Stomach
#16 How is the stomach supplied the nerves
Sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers
#17 The muscularis of the stomach allows what to happen in the stomach
Churn, mix, and pummel food physically
#18 What is epithelial lining of stomach consist of
Goblet cells that produce a coat of alkaline mucus
#19 The gastric pits contain gastic glands that secrete what
Gastric juice, mucus, and gastrin
#20 What secretes acid mucus in the stomach
Mucous neck cell
#21 Parietal cells secrete what
HCl and intrinsic factor
#22 What does chief cells produce
Pepsinogen
#23 What does enterendocrine cells secrete
Endorphins, serotonin, intrinic factor (Local control of that organ)
#24 What does the stomach mucosal barrier consist of
Thick coat of bicarbonate rich mucus, epithelial cells that join tight junctions and gastric glands that have cell impermeable to HCl
#25 What delivers chyme to the small intestine
Stomach
#26 How does the stomach digest protein
Enzymatically with pepsin
#27 What is required for absorption of Vit. B 12
Intrinsic Factor
#28 Where is vitamin B 12 absorbed
Ileum
#29 What regulates the release of gastric juice
Neural and hormonal mechanisms
#30 What are the 3 phases of stimulatory and inhibitory events
Cephalic (reflex), gastric, and intestinal
#31 What are the excitatory events of the cephalic phase
Sight or thought of food and stimulation of taste or smell
#32 Inhibitory events of the cephalic phase are what
loss of appetite or depression abd decrease in stimulation of parasympathetic division
#33 What are the excitatory events of the gastric phase
Stomach distension, activation of stretch receptors and chemoreceptors and release of gastrin into blood
#34 What are the inhibitory events of the gastric phase
Lower pH than 2, emotional upset overrides parasympathetic
#35 What are the exitatory events of the intestinal phase
lower pH, partially digested food enters duodenum, encourage gastric juice activity
#36 What are the inhibitory events of the instestinal phase
Distension of duodenum, presence of fatty, acidic or hypertonic chyme and/or irritants, closes pyloric sphincter
#37 What is plasticity of the stomach
Ability for the stomach to stretch and contract to the size of meal ingested to keep the same pressure
#38 Where does the most peristalsis and mixing occur
Near the Pylorus
#39 True or False: The chyme is delivered in small amounts to the duodenum
True
#40 Why is chyme forced backward into the stomach
Further mixing
#41 What regulates gastric emptying
Neural enterogastric reflex and hormonal mechanisms
#42 True or False: Neural and hormonal allow more gastric secretion and duodenal filling
False, they inhibit those activities
#43 True or False carbohydrate cyhme moves quickly through the duodenum
True
#44 Fat-laden chyme is digested more__ causing food to remain in the stomach longer
Slowly
#45 How many subdivisions are there of the small instestine? What are they?
3, duodenum, jejunum, and ileum
