26
Q

The two types of movements of the small intestine—segmentations
and a type of peristalsis called migrating motility complexes—are governed mainly by the —

A

myenteric plexus

27
Q

Segmentations occur most rapidly in the duodenum, about (1), and progressively slow to about (2) in the ileum.

A
  1. 12 times per minute
  2. 8 times per minute
28
Q

What happens during segmentatino?

A

Segmentations are alternate contractions that mix chyme with digestive juices and bring particles of food into contact with mucosa for absorption

29
Q

After most of a meal has been absorbed, which lessens distension of the wall of the small intestine, (1) stops and peristalsis termed as (2) begins.

A
  1. segmentation
  2. migrating motility complex (MMC)
30
Q

Where does the MMC begin?

A

Lower portion of the stomach

31
Q

Altogether, chyme remains in the small intestine for —

A

3–5 hours

32
Q

Waves of contraction and relaxation of circular and longitudinal smooth muscle fibers passing the length of the small intestine; moves chyme toward ileocecal sphincter.

A

Migrating motility complex (MMC)

33
Q

The small intestine absorbs about — of the fluid

A

8.3 liters

34
Q

The medical specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the rectum and anus

A

proctology

35
Q

Measurement of the LI

A

1.5 m (5 ft ) long and 6.5 cm (2.5 in.) in diameter

36
Q

LI extends from the (1) to the (2)

A
  1. ileum
  2. anus
37
Q

4 major regions of the large intestine

A

Cecum
Colon
Rectum
Anal canal

38
Q

The opening from the ileum into the large intestine is guarded by a fold of mucous membrane called the —

A

ileocecal sphincter

39
Q

Hanging inferior to the ileocecal valve

A

Cecum

40
Q

Attached to the cecum is a twisted, coiled tube called —

A

vermiform appendix

41
Q

The open end of the cecum merges with a long tube called the —

A

colon

42
Q

The terminal 2–3 cm (1 in.) of the large intestine

A

Anal canal

43
Q

The opening of the anal canal to the exterior, called the anus, is guarded by an (1) of (a) (involuntary) and an (2) of (b)(voluntary). Normally these sphincters keep the anus closed except during the elimination of feces.

A
  1. internal anal sphincter
    a. smooth muscle
  2. external anal sphincter
    b. skeletal muscle
44
Q

The passage of chyme from the ileum into the cecum is regulated by the action of the —

A

ileocecal sphincter

45
Q

Unlike other parts of the GI tract, portions of the longitudinal muscles are thickened, forming three conspicuous bands called the — that run most of the length of the large intestine

A

teniae coli

46
Q

Tonic contractions of the bands gather the colon into a series of pouches called —

A

haustra

47
Q

In this process, the haustra remain relaxed and become distended while they fill up. When the distension reaches a certain point, the walls contract and squeeze the contents into the next haustrum.

A

haustral churning

48
Q

A final type of movement in the mechanical digestion of the LI which is a strong peristaltic wave that begins at about the middle of the transverse colon and quickly drives the contents of the colon into the rectum

A

mass peristalsis

49
Q

Mass peristaltic movements push fecal material from the sigmoid colon into the rectum. The resulting distension of the rectal wall stimulates stretch receptors, which initiates a —

A

defecation reflex

50
Q

The final stage of digestion occurs in the colon through the activity of — that inhabit the lumen.

A

bacteria

51
Q

(1) is secreted by the glands of the large intestine, but no (2) are secreted.

A
  1. Mucus
  2. enzymes
52
Q

Excessive flatus (gas) in the stomach

A

Flatulence

53
Q

What does bacteria convert the remaining carbohydrates into?

A

hydrogen
CO2
methane gases

54
Q

What does bacteria convert the remaining proteins into?

A

amino acids: further breaks down into indole, skatole, hydrogen sulfide, and fatty acids

55
Q

What does bacteria convert the bilirubin into?

A

Simplker pigments such as stercobilin

56
Q

Some of the (1)and (2) is eliminated in the feces and contributes to their odor

A
  1. indole
  2. skatole
57
Q

By the time chyme has remained in the large intestine (1), it has become solid or semisolid because of (2) and is now called (3).

A
  1. 3–10 hours
  2. water absorption
  3. feces
58
Q

Chemically, feces consist of what?

A

water
inorganic salts
sloughed-off epithelial cells
bacteria
products of bacterial decomposition

59
Q

Consists of indigestible plant carbohydrates—such as cellulose, lignin, and pectin—found in fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans

A

Dietary fiber

60
Q

Does not dissolve in water, includes the woody or structural parts of plants such as the skins of fruits and vegetables and the bran coating around wheat and corn kernels

A

Insoluble fiber

61
Q

Does dissolve in water, forms a gel that slows the passage of material through the tract. It is found in abundance in beans, oats, barley, broccoli, prunes, apples, and citrus fruits.

A

Soluble fiber,

62
Q

An increase in the frequency, volume, and fluid content of the feces caused by increased motility of and decreased absorption by the intestines

A

Diarrhea

63
Q

Infrequent or diff icult defecation caused by decreased motility of the intestines. Because the feces remain in the colon for prolonged periods, excessive water absorption occurs, and the feces become dry and hard.

A

Constipation
