34
Q

role of circular folds in the SI

A

enhance absorption by increasing surface area and causing chyme to spiral through the SI

35
Q

arterial supply of SI

A

superior mesenteric and gastroduodenal

36
Q

innervation of SI

A

superior mesenteric plexus and vagus nerve

37
Q

two autonomic plexuses are found within the wall of the SI

A
  1. myenteric plexus

2. meissner’s plexus

38
Q

layers of the small intestines

A
  1. mucosa
  2. submucosa
  3. muscularis
  4. serosa
39
Q

greatly increase the SA of the epithelium available for absorption and digestion (in the mucosa)

A

villi

40
Q

each villi contains 5 things

A 
lamina propria
central lacteal
arteriole
venule
blood capillary
41
Q

mucosa of SI - the epithelium consists of (4)

A

absorptive cells
goblet cells
enteroendocrine cells
paneth cells

42
Q

mucosa of SI - digest and absorb nutrients

A

absorptive cells

43
Q

mucosa of SI - secrete mucous

A

goblet cells

44
Q

mucosa of SI - secrete secretin, CCK or GIP

A

enteroendocrine cells

45
Q

mucosa of SI - secrete the bacterial enzyme lysozyme and has some phagocytotic functions

A

paneth cells

46
Q

mucosa of SI - lamina propria has many MALT (2)

A

solitary lymphatic nodules (distal ileum)

peyer’s patches (distal ileum)

47
Q

submucosa of SI content

A

duodenal glands (Brunner’s)

48
Q

role of Brunner’s gland (duodenal)

A

secrete an alkaline mucous which helps neutralize gastric acid in chyme

49
Q

why is Brunner’s gland role important

A

because the gastric juice is acidic but the farther you go down the GI tract, the less mucous you need as it is less and less acidic

50
Q

muscularis layer of SI (2)

A

longitudinal and circular layers

51
Q

serosa layer of SI

A

most superficial

52
Q

slightly alkaline
contains mucous and water
aids with the absorption of substances as they come in contact with the villi
clear yellow fluid (1-2L/day)

A

intestinal juice

53
Q

absorptive epithelial cells synthesize many digestive enzymes and insert them into the microvilli

A

brush-border enzymes

54
Q

two types of movement occur in the small intestine

A

segmentation

migrating motility complex (a form of peristalsis)

55
Q

localized, mixing contractions that occur in portions occupied by large volumes of chyme
mixes chyme with digestive juices
brings food particles in contact with the mucosa for absorption

A

Segmentation

56
Q

segmentation starts with the contraction of what

A

circular muscle

57
Q

where does MMC begins

A

lower portion of the stomach

58
Q

when does absorption occurs in the SI

A

once food has been changed into forms that can pass through the epithelial cells lining the mucous into blood and lymphatic vessels

59
Q

about __% of the absorption occurs in the SI

A

90%

60
Q

10% of absorption occurs in __ and ___

stomach and large intestine

attached to posterior wall by the mesocolon

large intestine

65

appendix

67

ascending, descending, transvers and sigmoid

68
Q

LI - abrupt turn inferior to the liver

A

right colic flexure

69
Q

LI - abrupt turn inferior to the spleen

A

left colic flexure

70
Q

LI - begins near L. iliac crest and ends at the level of 3rd sacral vertebrae

A

sigmoid

71
Q

LI - guarded by an internal sphincter of smooth muscle and an external sphincter of skeletal muscle

A

anus

72
Q

arterial supply of LI

A

sup/inf mesenteric aa.

sup, middle, and inf. rectal aa.

73
Q

sympathetic innervation of large intestine

A

celiac, superior and inferior mesenteric ganglia

74
Q

parasympathetic innervation of large intestine

A

vagus and pelvic splanchnic nerves

75
Q

t/f there are villi and circular folds in the large intestine

A

false

76
Q

layers of large intestine

A

mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, serosa

77
Q

muscularis layer of LI - some portions of the longitudinal muscle are thickened forming 3 bands called

A

taenia coli

78
Q

muscularis layer of LI - tonic contractions of the bands form a series of pouches called

A

haustrae

79
Q

passage of chyme from the ileum into the cecum is controlled by what

A

ileocecal sphincter

80
Q

what is haustral churning

A

haustrae remain relaxed until they fill up

after a certain distension, the wall contracts and pushes the contents into the next haustrae

81
Q

2 functions of the LI

A

peristalsis and mass peristalsis

82
Q

t/f peristalsis occurs at a slow rate

A

true

83
Q

mass peristalsis

A

strong peristaltic wave that begins in the middle of the transverse colon and rapidly drives the contents into the rectum

84
Q

the final stage of digestion occurs through the activity of bacteria in the lumen

A

anything remaining after will not be absorbed (sent to urine for excretion)
