Definition
polysaccarides, simple sugars(such as glucose)
Term
anything that involves dna and rna in the live organs have what type of macromolecules.
Definition
nucleic acid
Term
what does protein break down too?
Definition
amino acids
Term
what does lipid break down too?
Definition
triglyceride(glycerol, free fatty acid)
Term
what does nucleic acid breakdown to?
Definition
nucleotides
Term
what is another name for digestive system
Definition
alimentary canal or gi tract
Term
break down the alimentary canal.
Definition
mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intenstine, and large intenstine
Term
break down the accesory digestive organs
Definition
teeth, tongue, galbladder, salivary glands, liver and pancreas
Term
placing the food in the mouth is considered?
Definition
ingestion
Term
what is the mouths role in the digestive system?
Definition
mechanically breaking down the food, increasing the surface area so alot enymzes in the oral cavity breaking down the food
Term
how long can the food hold up in the stomach?
Definition
6 hours
Term
is the stomach acidic or alkaline?
Definition
acidic
Term
what part of the digestive system has a lot of villi and microvilli?
Definition
small intenstine, designed for absorbtion and principles of complementary
Term
where is there water absorption and vitamin K production?
Definition
large intenstine, colon
Term
the teeths, tongue, salivary glands role in the digestive system is?
Definition
grinding, chewing, massication, tongue is bringing down the smaller foods in the digestive system, salivary glands produce salivary
Term
what are the 6 essential activties in the digestive process, and break them down.
Definition
ingestion - taking food into the digestive tract, propulsion - swallowing and peristalsis, mechanical digestion - chewing, mixing and churning food, chemical digestion - catabolic breakdown of food. absorption - movement of nutrients from the gi tract to the lymph or blood. defacation - elimination of indigestible wastes
Term
from the esophagus to the anal canal, the walls of the gi tract have how many tunics? describe them
Definition
four, the same tunics, mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa
Term
salivary glands produce and secrete saliva that
Definition
cleanses the mouth, moistens and dissolves food chemicals, aids in bolus formation, contains enzymes that break down starch
Term
what are the three type of extrinsic salivary glands
Definition
parotid, sublingual, submandibular gland
Term
chemical breakdown of proteins begins and food is converted to
Definition
chyme(creamy paste)
Term
what is the function of the stomach?
Definition
mixing of food, secretion, little absorbtion
Term
what is salivary amylase
Definition
enyzmes that helps break down carbohydrate
Term
what affects protein enzymes?
Definition
salt concentration, ph, and temperature
Term
what are the several type of cells in the stomach?
Definition
surface mucous cells, mucous neck cells, parietal cells(produce HcL), chief cells(produce pepsinogen) endocrine cells(gastrin)
Term
what is the small intenstines function and gross anatomy?
Definition
major site of absorption and digestion. it connects stomach with large intenstine, three parts of jujunem, duodenum, and ileum. bile duct and pancreatic duct empty into duodenum
Term
what are the histological features of the small intenstine?
Definition
mucosal epithelium: simple columnar , w/specialized cells. absorptive cells with microvilli, goblet cells, produce mucus, granulate cells, endocrine cells(cck. gastrin and secretin)
Term
what is the function of the large intenstine/
Definition
absorbtion of water and salts. secretion of mucuous
Term
what does the celaphic phase tell us about the excitatory or inhibotory events
Definition
that through excitatory events, comes from site or thought of food and stimulation of taste or small receptors, whereas the inhibitory events include , loss of appetite or depression, decrease in stimulation of the parasymphatetic division.
Term
what is the peritoneum?
Definition
serous membrane of the abdominal cavity
Term
what is the visceral?
Definition
covers external surface of most digestive organs
Term
what is parietal?
Definition
it lines body wall
Term
tell me about peritoneal activity.
Definition
it lubricates digestive organs. allows them to slide accross one another
Term
what is the double layer of peritoneam that provdes vascular and nerve supply to the viscera. a means to hold digestive organs and store fat
Definition
mesentary
Term
tell me about the gastric phase excitatory events
Definition
stomach distention(enlargement), activation of stretch receptors(neural actvation), activation of chemoreceptors by peptides caffeine, and rising ph, release of gastrin to the blood
Term
tell me about the gastric phase inhiitory events
Definition
a ph lower than 2. emotional upset that overides the parasymphatetic division
Term
tell me about the intenstinal phase.
Definition
there is two phases , excitatory and inhibitory. excitatory is low ph, partial digested food enters the duodenom and enourages gastic gland activity.
inhibitory - prescence of fatty, acidic food or hypertonic chyme and or irritants. distention of the duodenom
Term
how is intenstinal juice secreted?
Definition
by the distention or irritation of the mucosa
Term
is intenstinal juice alkaline or acidic?
Definition
it is slightly alkaline and isotonic with blood plasma
Term
is intenstinal juice enzyme rich or poor? largely water or not? and contains mucus or not?
Definition
enymze poor, largely water and contains mucuous
Term
bile leaves the liver via
Definition
bile duct, which fuse into the hepatic ducts. the common hepatic duct
Term
why is the small intestine well adapted for absorption?
Definition
the interior of the small intenstine has a huge surface area due to the presence of villi and microvilli
Term
what stimulates the galbladder to contract?
Definition
CCK
Term
in terms of digestion, the large intenstines role is
Definition
absorption of water
Term
the majority of enzymes for chemical digestion is being secreted from organ of?
