|
Pancreas: Duct of Wirsung
|
main duct of pancreas; fxn: deliver inactive digestive enzymes & chemicals: NaHCO3 to duodenum
|
|
Pancreas: Secretions

|
|
Physical & Chemical Dig: Mouth
|
1.Mastication
2.Starch Dig 3.Deglutition |
|
Mouth: Mastication
|
chewing; breaks down food into smaller units -> mixed w/ saliva -> form clumps: bolus
|
|
Mouth: Starch Dig
|
starch (pH 7.0) in food -> mixed w/ salivary amylase -> form maltose (disacc)
|
|
Mouth: Deglutition
|
swallowing; physical aspect of digestion; different phases: form bolus -> sent to oropharynx ->pharyngeal musc in throat contract -> sends bolus into esophagus -> bolus moves to stomach by peristalsis
|
|
Physical & Chemical Dig: Stomach
|
1.Gastric Glands & secreted gastric juices
2.Smooth Musc Contractions |
|
Stomach: Gastric Glands secrete gastric juices:
|
1.HCl-
2.Pepsinogen 3.Renin |
|
HCl-
|
germicide-kills bac present in food; activates pepsinogen into pepsin for dig; gives stomach acidic pH (1-3) in order to allow pepsin to carry out dig
|
|
Pepsinogen
|
inactive form of pepsin
|
|
Renin
|
found in infants only, HCl takes over w/ age; curdles milk into semisolid material
|
|
Stomach: Smooth Musc Contractions
|
1.Trituration
2.Peristalsis |
|
Stomach: Trituration
|
stomach musc in 3 layers & allow for churning mvmts: decrease physical size of food stuffs & mix food w/ fastric juices
|
|
Stomach: Peristalsis
|
moves contents of stomach (chyme)into small intestine
|
|
Small Int: Chem Dig
|
acidic chyme has entered duodenum &
1.alkaline juice from pancreas released 2.protein digestion 3.starch dig 4.lipid dig 5.succus entericus |
|
alkaline juice from pancreas released:
|
into duodenum; contains inactive enzymes & NaHCO3; pH=8, so neutralizes acidic chyme; provides env for other enzymes
|
|
Small Int: Pr Dig
|
1.enteropeptidase: found on surface of villi in duodenum; trypsinogen -> in presence of enteropeptidase -> piece knocked off & trypsin formed
2. |
|
Pr Dig rxns:
|
pr in chyme in small int, proteoses & peptone -> mix w/ trypsin, chymotrypsin, NaHCO3 (pH 8), & --> break down to smaller peptides
*pr not completely digested |
|
Small Int: Starch Dig
|
starch -> NaHCO3, pancreatic amylase -> maltose
*starch not completely digested |
|
Small Int: Lipid Dig
|
fats-> gall bladder secreted bile reacts w/ fat & emulsifies fat -> pancreatic lipase, in presence of NaHCO3 breaks down fat into fatty acids, glycerol & monoglycerides
*completely digested |
|
Small Int: Succus Entericus
|
watery fluid from small intestinal glands & enzymes (extending off villi); enzymes include:
1.peptidases 2.carbohydrases |
|
peptidases:
|
peptides-> mix w/ peptidases, NaHCO3 -> break down into aa*
*end product of pr dig |
|
carbohydrases:
|
1.maltose -> mixed w/ maltase -> glucose
2.lactose -> mixed w/ lactase -> glucose & galactose 3.sucrose -> mixed w/ sucrase -> glucose & fructose |
|
Small Int: mvmts
|
1.segmental contractions
2.Peristalsis |
|
Small Int: Segmental Contractions
|
for mixing chyme in small int; region contracts & stops -> other adjacent regions contract ...
|
|
Small Int: Peristalsis
|
propulsive mvmt of chyme from small int to large int occurring in sequence; moving ring of contractions in spurts/ not constant
|
|
Chemical Dig in small int complete, and now:
|
Absorption
|
|
Small Int: Absorption
|
1.simple sugars, amino acids, 10-20% fatty acids/glycerol/monosacc. --> all absorbed into capillaries of villus (now in blood)
2. 80-90% fatty acids/glycerol/monosacc. enter villus & resynthesized into fat |
|
resynthesized into fat:
|
fat attaches to pro (fat-pr complex: chylomicrons) -> absorbed into lacteals -> lymphatics -> into blood
|
|
Large Int:
|
gains indigestible wastes from small int: mainly cellulose & bacteria
|
|
Large Int: Muscular Mvmts
|
same exactly as small int: segmentation-> peristalsis -> moving wastes to rectum
|
|
Large Int: Water Absorption
|
along way, absorb water in ascending colon
|
|
Large Int: Vitamin Absorption
|
VitB complex & VitK reabsorbed here
|
|
Large Int: Defecation
|
elimination of solid wastes;
1.contents from sigmoid colon -> rectum & stretch receptors stimulated @ rectum 2.nerve impulses sent to spinal cord & from spinal cord motor impulses sent back to rectum: contraction of smooth musc & relaxation of int anal sphincter 3.abdominal musc contract & put pressure on rectum & poop |
