27
Q

Appendix

A

Spleen - largest lymphatic organ (red pulp - removes old and damaged red blood cells - storage; white pulp - has lymphocytes, and searching pathogens)
Salivary glands - produce saliva and are a solvent in cleansing the teeth, dissolving food chemicals so you can taste.
Tongue - moves food around in the mouth, assists in swallowing food, articulation of speech, tase
Teeth - incisors cut and shear food, canines hold and tear food, premolars crush food, molars grind food
Pancreas - produces pancreatic juices, and secrete glucose and triglycerides
Gallbladder - stores and concentrates biles
Liver -

30
Q

where does amylase come from

A

The pancreas and the salivary glands

31
Q

Rectum: the last 7-8” of the intestinal tube

32
Q

Small intestine

A

Duodenum: shortest section of the small ingestion that attaches to the pyloric end of the stomach (10”)
Jejunum: the point at which the small intestine turns abruptly forward and downward
Ileum - 12’ long and marks the minimal line of demarcation between the jejunum and ileum

33
Q

Where is water absorbed
Where are nutrients absorbed

A

90% of water is absorbed in the small intestine
Nutrients are absorbed in the jejunum of the small intestine

34
Q

Carbohydrate digestion

A

Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth and ends in the small intestine
- the primary goal for carbs is to break down from glycogen into glucose and coming into the cells
- carbohydrates take up 45-65% of total calorie intake. 4 kcals/gram

35
Q

Protein digestion

A

Proteases catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins and each kind of protease then catalyzes the breaking apart of a specific kind of peptide bond
- mechanical begins in the mouth and ends in the intestines. Chemical begins in the stomach and ends in the small intestine
- 4 kcals/gram

36
Q

Lipid digestion

A

When fats become insoluble in water and must then be emulsified
- the majority of lipid digestion occurs in the small intestine.
- 9 kcals/gram

37
Q

Serosa layer

A

The “serous” layer, which is the outermost layer of the GI tract wall, and is actually the visceral layer of the peritoneum
- it lines the abdominal pelvic cavity and covers the organs
- the fold of the serous membrane shown connects the parietal and visceral portions called the mesentery

38
Q

Muscular is

A
  • the “muscular” layer, the thick layer of muscle tissue that wraps itself around the submucosa,
  • uses segmental contraction, and peristaltic movements
  • out longitudinal, inner circular, oblique
39
Q

Submucosa

A
  • the layer of the digestive tube that is compassed of connective tissue (has numerous small glands, blood vessels, and parasympathetic nerves that form the submucosa plexus)
40
Q

Mucosa

A
  • the mucous layer, the innermost layer of the GI wall which faces the lumen.
  • is the absorptive and major secretory layer
  • chief cells - Pepsinogen; parietal cells - hydrochloric acid; mucous - mucus; argentaffin - serotonin and histamine; g-cells - gastrin
41
Q

Ureters
Urethra
Urinary bladder

A
  • muscular tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder
  • 3 layers of smooth muscles, lined with epithelial cells, stores urine (600 - 1,000ml)
  • Carrie urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Two sphincters that control this
42
Q

Nephrons

A

The functional unit of the kidney (1 million per kidney)

43
Q

Water coming in and out

A

The amount of water coming in must equal the amount coming out
- water from food accounts for 20-25% of total fluid intake
- water is 31.4%/ beverages is 43.6%

44
Q

Polyuria
Oliguria
Anuria

A

Appendicular - the limbs

64
Q
