53 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Nutrientsdon’t become part of the intestinal environment until they have passed throughthe intestinal wall and have entered the

blood and lymph

Middleportion:

duodenum, jejunum and ileum is where most absorptive processes occur

accessory organs

salivary, liver, pancreas

esophagus connects

oropharynx with the stomach

Pharyengoesophagealsphincter keeps air from entering

stomach while eating

gastroesophagealsphincter is below the opening to the stomach. It is usually contractedcreating

high pressure zone that doesn't allow reflux

esophagus opens to stomach through

cardiac orfice

what sphincter controls rate of food entering stomach

pyloric

what contains the opening for the bile duct and the main pancreatic duct

duodenum

first layer:

inner mucosal


made of epithelium


produces mucous, enzymes, absorbs forms a barrier for noxious substances

second layer:

submucosal layer


Dense CT and adipose


blood vessels, nerve, secretes enzymes



third layer:

muscularis externa, inner layer is circulatory outer layer is longitudinal

Peritoneum has two layers

visceral and parietal


between them is peritoneal cavity thats filled with fluid

movements of GI tract can be

rhythmic or tonic

· Rhythmic movements

intermittent contractions that are responsible for mixing and moving food along the tract

rhythmic movements are in the

esophagus, antrum and SI

tonic movments

constant contraction without rest

pacemaker cells

intestinal cells of Cajal

Symp NS does what to waves

slows or stops

enteric NS consists of

myenteric and submucosal plexuses in the GI

myenteric plexus

concerned with motility of gut

submucosal plexus

concerned with secretions, absorption and contraction

what begins digestive process

mastication

oral phase of swallowing

bolous pushed to posterios wall of pharynx

pharyngeal phase of swallowing

soft palate pulled up food moves to esophagus


involuntaary


breathing stops

esophageal stage of swallowing

enters esophagus and peristalsis starts

secondary peristalsis is mediated by SM fibers in esophagus and happens when

primary peristalisis isn't adequate to move food

the pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter is _____ then stomach so this prevents

greater




food from refluxing

lowr esophageal sphincter is inervated by

vagus nerve

gastrin increases constriction of

lower esophageal sphincter

chemical break down of food happens in stomach where its turned into

chyme

how many contractions per minute

3-5

emptying of the stomach is done by

hormonal and neural mechanisms

movements of Si

mixing and propulsive

two patterns of contraction in SI

segmentation and peristalic

segmentation waves of SI

drives food foreword and backward


Itsfuncitons to mix chyme with the enzymes from the pancreas and make sure thechyme is exposed to all parts of the mucosal surface of the intestine where absorptiontakes place

movement in the colon is two types

segmental and propulsive mass movement

segmental mixing in the colon

called haustral churning, makes sure fecal matter comes in contact with all parts of intestinal surface

mass movement initiates

defication

defecation reflexes

myenteric reflex


parasympathetic reflex

external sphincter is under control of

cortex


its voluntary


if not good time to poop cortex makes sphincter close and inhibits parasympathetic activity

G cells of the atrium make

gastrin

gastrin stimulates

gastric acid secretion

secretin inhibits

gastric acid secretion, entry of acidic chyme into the intestine stimulates the release of secretin

three functions of saliva

lube, antimicrobial, break down starch

two functions of gastric acid

break down food


disinfect food

gastric mucosa is _____ to the acidic secretions it makes

resistant

burner glands do what

secrete large amounts of alkaline mucous that protects the duodenum from the acidic content in the chyme

major function of clonic microflora

digest undigestible food

break down of fat happen in

SI


emulcification

LI absorbs

water

fatty stool

steattorrhea


when not all is absorbed in intestine

protein digestion begins in

stomach


pepsinogen is released and does t become active until in intestine with alkaline PH
