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 |
