Q

Enzymes

3 types

A

Amalyse
Pro teases
Lipase a

20
Q

Amylase

A

Breaks down carbohydrates to glucose

Found in saliva, pancreatic juice and lining of small intestine

21
Q

Proteases

A

Break down proteins to amino acids

Found in gastric juices, pancreatic juice and lining of small intestine

22
Q

Lipases

A

Break down lipids to fatty acids and glycerol

Pancreatic juice

23
Q

Digestive secretion

A

Release of various substances from exocrine glands

Includes: saliva, gastric juice, bile and intestinal juice

24
Control of digestive gland secretion
When food is seen, smelled, thought or heard The brain activates digestive secretion in the mouth and stomach Food itself in the stomach and small intestines activate other secretory pathways
25
Absorption
Passage of substances through the intestinal mucosa into the blood and lymph Fats pass into the lymphatic system and are absorbed, all other nutrients are absorbed by cardiovascular capillaries
26
Elimination
Expulsion of the residue of digestion | Feces
27
Defication
The process of removing feces
28
Gastroenteritis
Umbrella term for stomach and GI inflammation
29
Anorexia

31
Emisis
Vomiting
32
Diarrhea
Having loose or liquid bowel movements | More then 3 per day
33
Constipation
Infrequent or hard to pass bowel movements
34
Ulcer
H pylori Bacterial Loss of the lining, an open wound
35
Stomach cancer
Gastric cancer
36
Diverticulosis
Out poaching of the intestional wall
37
Colitis
Inflammation of the colon
38
Malabsorption
Inability to absorb nutrients
39
IBS
Irritable bowel disease Umbrella term for irritable bowel movement
40
Hepatitis
A, b, c, d, e Viral, either fecal, oral, blood born
41
Pancreatitis
Inflammation of the pancreas
42
Celiac
Can't digest gluten | Constipation or diarrhea
43
Crohns
Auto-immune
44
Bolus
Ball of food and saliva
45
Chyme
Bonus with gastric juices Transitions from bolus to chyme at the stomach
46
Feces
Solid waste Transition from chyme to feces at large intestine
