Cards

Term
 Four functions of the Digetive System
Definition

1. Motility (moving stuff along)

 -Perstalsis

-segmentation

2. Secretion- addition of digestive enzymes,etc.

3. Degestion- biomechanical breakdown of food using hydolysis

-CHOs frm starches/glycogen --> monosaccarides

-Protiens --> polypeptides and amino acids

-Trigycerides --> glycerol and fatty acids

4. Absorption- From digestive tract into blood or lymph

Term

Digestive sytem consists of

  • A tract
  • accessory organs
Definition
  • -continuous tube from oral cavity to anus

       -the lumen of the tube is continuous external environment (donut)

  • accessory organs-salilaryglnds, exocrine glands, and biliary system(liver and gallbladder)
Term
Digestive tract consists of four layers
Definition

1. Mucosa

-lamina propria- colligan,aereolar

-GALT(Pier Patches, immune sytem)

-musculari mucosa

2. Submucosa-shape(CT)

3. Muscularis externa

-inner circular layer, outer longitudinal layer

-myeteric plexis-nerve/control

4. Serosa

-continuous with mesentaries (holds things in place)

-aereolar

Term
Digestive moltility and secretion are regulated by four factors
Definition

1. Autonomous smooth muscle function:

-autorhythmicity-depol on own but not agrigated

-Slow wave potentials

2. Myenteric plexus & Sumucous Plexus (ag. of autonomic nervous system)

-effected by para and sympathetic signals from the nervous system.

3. Edocrine glands-release hormones that signal digestive response

4.receptors-chemo(ph, protien/lipd content),osmo (water and ions),and mechan(strech)

Term

Oral Cavity

-mechanical digestion-mastication

-No nutrient absorbtion

  • Three pairs of glands in oral cavity
  • Three important element found in saliva and their function
Definition
  • Subligual,Submandible,Curotid
  • Salivary amylase (carb/starch bd), Ligual lipase (lipid bd), lysozymes (anti bacteria)
Term
Apnea
Definition
Not breathing-happens everytime you swallow.
Term

-Motility(associated with the pharynx and larynx)?

-Preventions of choking

 -Peristalisis

Definition

-Swallowing -food hit receptors, motility starts voluntary-->reflex 

-apnea,epiglotis

-movement of bolus through esophagus due to CLC contractions

Term
Asparation
Definition
Choking
Term

Stomach

-sections?

*secretions?

Definition

Cardia-protect, Fundus-give space so stomach can mix, Body-storage mixing,plyloric-HCl and chemo receptors

*secretions include pepsin-protien breakdown and HCL to process bolu into chime

Term
Segmentation
Definition
unorganized churning of the stomach(help with mechan digestion) due to  the stomach's unique obique muscle
Term

Stomach Motility

  • filling
  • storage
  • mixing
  • emptying
Definition
  • filling-little strech due to rugae
  • storage-in the body of the stomach
  • mixing- secretions w/bolus to form chime, peristalic waves       
  • emptying- controlled by pylorus(amt and viscosity of chime) and duodennum(can slow down gastric emptying- neural reflex by stretch receptors & hormonal reflex induced by PH or fat content-->releases secretin and cholecytokinin (cck)that act on stomach cells)   
Term

Gastric digestive juice is secreted by glands located in the base of the gastric pits.

  • Mucous cells
  • Cheif cells
  • Parietal cells
  • Stem cells
Definition
  • thin watery mucous
  • pepsinogens
  • HCl-breakdown of CT and muscle fibers, killing of most micro organisms,pepsin formation
  • replacement of Gastric mucousa
Term

The control of Gastric secretion involves three phases

  • cephalic
  • gastric
  • intestinal
Definition
  • Cephalic- stimuli from brain and mouth increase HCl and pepsinogen secretion
  • Gastric-stimuli in stomach initiate gastric secretion, increased stimulus by caffeine and alcohol
  • Intestinal-inhibitory, shuttting off the flow of gastric juices as chyme  enter the duodenum
Term

Other facts about the stomach

-CHO and lipd digestion begin in mouth and continue in the stomach until PH drops below 4

-Protein digestion begins in stomach due to pepsin when Ph drops below a 2

-No food or water is absorbed in stomach but alcohol and aspirin can be.

Definition
Term

The small intestine is where most of digestion and absorbtion occur

  • three segment of the small intestine?
  • rapid ______ and slow ______ occur
  • ileocecal juncture prevents comtamination of the small intestine by colonic bacteria (ie.Pier patches)
Definition
  • Duodenum,jejunum,ileum
  • segmentation, peristalisis
Term

Small intestines

-do no secrete digestive enzymes, ____ and ____ do.

-molecule produced by digestion enter either the ________ or ________ vessel. ---> sorted by the liver, controls nutrients concentration in blood

-absorbtion doesnt usually happen based on the bodies need but concentration gradient.--eceptions to this are

 

Definition

-liver and pancreas

-lymphatic or capillary

-Iron and Calcium (active trans after cons if full)

Term

Large intestine-mainly drying and storing organ

  • consists of cecum, colon,appendix, and rectum
  • Taeni coloni is the muscle that helps form postra pockets allowing for segmentation --controled by___
  • defication-occurs?due to?
Definition
  • intrinsic plexi
  • 3 to 4 times daily-due to gastrocolic reflex mediated by gastrin release when food enters stomach.

 

 

Term

Feces are eliminated by the defication reflex

  • internal anal sphincter
  • enternal anal sphincter
  • colon contains benificial bacteria include making vitamin K and enhancing intestinal motality
Definition
