Cards

Term
Chemical Digestion
Definition
  • Enzymes break food into usable nutrients

  • places food on teeth for processing
  • glands w/i secretes lingual lipose
    • acts on fats
  • taste receptors
Term
Lingual Lipose
Definition
acts on fats
Term
Types of Salivary Glands
Definition
  • Parotid
  • Submadibular
  • Sublingual
Term
Mucous
Definition
lubricates food (swallowing) and mouth tissue
Term
Amylase
Definition
chemical digestion of carbs (starch)
Term
Esophagus
Definition
  • Connects oral cavity to stomach
  • Collapsable tube- behind trachea
  • Peristalsis
Term
Peristalsis
Definition
sequenical contrations of small muscles of the digestive tract to propel food through
Term
Rugae
Definition
  • Chem. digest. of stomach
  • Secretes gastric juice
Term
Mucous Cells
Definition
  • Part of rugae 
  • Mucous neck cells (secrete mucous)
Term
Parietal Cell
Definition
  • Part of rugae
  • Secretes hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor
Term
Chief Cell
Definition
  • Part of rugae
  • Secretes pepsinogen & gastric lipose
    • Pepsinogen
Term
Pepsinogen
Definition
  • Hormone secreted by Chief Cell
  • HCl creates peptin, which breaks down protein
Term
G Cell
Definition
secrete the hormone gastrin
Term
Chyme

  • Released via pyloric sphincter to small intestine
  • Produced in the stomach
  • Soupy liquid
Term
Islet Cells
Definition
  • Pancreas
  • Endocrine cells
  • Insulin
  • Glucagon
Term
Insulin
Definition
  • Islet cells
  • β cells
  • Nutrients storage in tissues
Term
Glucagon
Definition
  • Islet cell
  • α cells

Trypsin
Definition
  • Acini cell
  • Digest proteins
Term
Lipase
Definition
  • Acini cell
  • Digest fats
Term
Sodium Bicarbonate
Definition
  • Acini cell
  • Neutralize acidic chyme (material moving thru small intestine)
Term
Emulsifies
Definition
brings fat into solution
Term
Nuclease
Definition
  • chem. digest. of sm. intestine
  • finsh digest. of protein
Term
Microvilli of Small Instestine
Definition
  • From "brush border"
  • Have diff. enzymes on membranes
    • breakdown nutrients
Term
Micelles
Definition
  • product of sm. intest. -> microvilli
  • LCFA + Bile salts
Term
Chylomicrans
Definition
  • Product of microvilli-> villi
  • Reformed LCFA + cholestrol-coated w/ proteins
Term
Lipoproteins
Definition
LCFA +cholestrol+protein
Term
High Density Lipoproteins (HDLs)
Definition
moves fat from BL-> liver= "good" cholestrol
Term
Low Density Lipoproteins (LDLs)
Definition
moves fats-> tissues for repair if too much, will deposit in arteries
Term
Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDLs)
Definition
moves lipids prod. by body from liver -> adipose tissue, coverts to LDLs
Term
"bad" Cholestrol
Definition
LDL + VLDL
Term
Cecum
Definition
  • LI
  • Attached to appendix
Term
Colon
Definition
  • LI
  • Ascending, transverse, decending, sigmoid (S-shaped)
Term
Rectum
Definition
  • LI
  • 20 cm
  • Final 2-3cm- anal canal
Term
Anus
Definition
  • LI
  • Opening
  • "Guarding" it are
    • internal anal sphincter- involutary
    • external anal sphincter-voluntary
Term
Lacteals
Definition
lymph capillaries
Term
Maltase, Lactase, Sucrase
Definition
finish digesting carbhoydrates to produce monosaccharides
Term
Bolus
Definition
  • Esophagus
  • Amass of food that has been chewed to the pt. of swallowing
Term
Pepsin
Definition
  • The only proteolyic (protein- digesting) ennyme in the stomach
  • Secreted by chief cells
  • Most effective in very acidic environment of the stomach (pH 2), inactive at anything higher
Term
Mass Peristalsis
Definition
  • Function of the L.I
  • Wave from mid-transverse colon to rectum
Term
Peritonitis
Definition
imflammation of peritoneum
Term
Ulcers
Definition
lesions of digestive tract due to exposure to acid gastric juice
Term
Perforated Ulcers
Definition
hole in ling of digestve tract
Term
Diverticulitis
Definition
  • "Aneursym" of colon
  • Waste accumulation in bulged area
  • Inc. likelihood of infection
Term
Colon Cancer
Definition
  • Formation of polyps- lining of L.I
  • Block flow of waste through colon
  • Associated with high fat diet
    • Fat adheres to lining of L.I -activation of oncogenes more likely
    • High fiber diet reduces risk by scouring lining
