AP II_Digestion_Exam 3 Flashcards
Boundaries of the oral cavity
- hard palate
- tongue cheeks
- soft palate
What does gastric mucus protect
protects stomach lining from acid
What is digestion
- mechanical & physical break down of food
- absorption
What forms a chylomicron?
- Micelle broekn down by b.salts
What forms Micelle
bile salts + lipases
Define Lacteal
- LYMPH (intestinal)
- LARGE particles
- fit into capillaries (fat/proteins)
Purpose of Bile Salts x4
- emulsify fats
- smaller pieces
- work into lipases
- salts reabsorb into ileum & return to liver
What is an Alimentary
GI Tract
Five Steps of Digestion
- Ingestion (intake sold/liquid)
- Movement (propulsion)
- Digestion
- Absorption (lymphatic circulation)
- Defecation/Elimination (large intestine)
Why is defecation voluntary?
External Anal sphincter is a SKELETAL MUSCLE
What causes defecation reflex?
- peristalsis streches the wall of rectum
- Internal Sphincter relaxes
- urge to defecate.
4 layers of GI Tract
- Mucuous
- Submucus
- Muscularis
- Serosa
Tooth Enamel
- calcified hard covering of crown
- hardest part of tooth
Five controls of Saliva
- Lubricate Food
- Kill Bacteria
- Lysozyme, amylase, mucus
- PNS increase salvation
- SNS/fear decrease salvation
Anatomy of the Colon
- ascends
- transverses
- descends (sigmoid shape)
- turns
- Enters pevlic Cavity
Function of the Large Intestine
- Store feces
- lubricate feces
- water absorption
- Vitamin B & K synthesis
What is another name for solid waste
feces
What is the hormone made by gastric cells
- Gastrin
What is the duodenum
- the first part of the small intestine immediately beyond the stomach,
- leading to the jejunum.
Distention
- being stretched beyond normal dimensions
What is another name of liquefied food
chyme
What are proteases?
- breaks down proteins and peptides
Periodontal Ligament
- holds roots into alveoli
Gastric Juice
- HCL
- Mucus
- Pepsinogen
Dentin
- bone like material
- bulk of crown
What cells make mucus
zygomatic cells
Common Bile
- Hepatic/Gall Bladder & Cystic Duct join
- Dumps into duodenum
Esophogeal Hiatus
- hole to pass into Abdominal cavity
Peristalis
- wavelength rippling contraction
- moves contents below
How many adult teet
32
What is a stationary contraction that mixes & breaks into small chunks
Segmentation
Tissues of the Tongue
- skeletal muscle
- mucus membrane
Villi
- of small intestine mucus
- Increase Surface Area for absorption
Gi Tract Organs x6
- oral cavity
- pharynx
- esophagus
- stomach
- small intestine
- large intestine
Labial Frenulum
inner lips to gums
3 Pairs of Salivary Glands
- Parotid
- Submandibular
- Sublingual
How is Vitamin A-D-E-K absorbed?
lipids
When does the colon become the rectum?
- when it enters the pelvic cavity
What do Calcium ions require for absorption
- Vitamin D
What are papillae
- bumps on the tongue
Digestive Accessory Organs x6
- salivary glands
- teeth
- tongue
- pancreas
- liver
- gall bladder
Tooth ementum
bone like material covering root
What is the function of Gall Bladder
- to store bile
What is bile made of?
- Water
- Salts
- Bilirubin
How are proteins broken down?
- Stomach
- Pepsin digestion begins with copious flow
- of hydrochloric acid that makes protein unfold.
- Pancreatic Proteases
Gastric Motility
- pacemaker cells
- causes wave of peristalsis (cardia-pylorous)
Composition of Pancreatic Juice x5
- Water
- Bicarbonate
- Amylase
- Lipase
- Proteases
Function of the Liver x7 x7
- HEALTHY STUFF
- make bile
- detox
- store nutrients
- vitamins/poisons
- metabolic hub
- get rid of old blood cells
- make coagulation, fibrin
Broken down food that passes from intestinal lumen to blood vessels, is defined as?
Absorption
3 Segments of the Small Intestine
- Duodenum
- Jejunum
- Ileum
Where does 90% of absoprtion occur
Small Intestine
What breaks down lipids?
bile salts, lipases
