Q

cardiac sphincter

A
  • valve between esophagus and the stomach
  • prevent reflux of stomach acids into the esophagus
24
Q

pyloric sphincter

A
  • valve between stomach and the small intestine intestinal wall
  • controls the emptying of the stomach contents into the small intestine intestinal wall
25
what is the food called after it’s mixed with the gastric acid
chyme
26
how many muscles layers is the stomach made up of?
3 layers
27
3 different types of salivary glands
-parotid glands -submandibular glands -sublingual glands
28
what are the four different types of teeth
incisor, canine, premolar, and molar
29
chemical and mechanical digestion in the mouth
chem: saliva containing enzyme that breaks down starches mech: food being chewed
30
chemical and mechanical digestion in the stomach
mech: the stomach muscles churning food chem: the stomach muscles mixing the food with gastric acid
31
chemical and mechanical digestion in the small intestine
mech: segmentation describes the contraction and relaxation of the small intestine intestinal chem: the pancreas produces pancreatic juices which is secreted
32
chemical and mechanical digestion in the large intestine
chem: indigestible food matter is digested by enteric bacteria that thrives in the large intestine
33
the digestive tract organ
mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus
34
the accessory digestive organs
teeth, tongue, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gall bladder
35
mouth
-where digestion begins
36
teeth
- crushes and cuts food into smaller pieces
37
salivary glands
-produces saliva - saliva lubricants food
38
tongue
- made up of several muscles -pushes food to pharynx for swallowing
39
Pharynx
-space behind oral cavity - has a space called the epiglottis -epiglottis is a flap that prevents food from going down
40
esophagus
- a muscular tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach contents into -uses peristalsis
41
stomach
- j shaped organ containing 3 layers of muscles -mixes food with gastric juice to make it chyme
42
small intestine
- most of the digestion of nutrients occurs and is completed in the small intestine
43
large intestine
- water absorption - absorption of vitamins - removes undigested food
44
pancreas
-produces pancreatic juice which is secreted into the duodenum of the small intestine intestinal chem
45
liver
-makes and secretes bile - purifies new blood with nutrients coming from the small intestine
46
gallbladder
stores and concentrates the bile from the liver
47
rectum
-stores feces before elimination
48
anus
- ending period of gastrointestinal tract where feces leave the body
49
amylase
an enzyme that breaks down starches mech
50
what five tastes can the tongue detect
sweet, salty, sour, bitter, umami
51
hydrochloric acid
-pH of 2 - acidity kills ingested bacteria and denatures proteins
52
pepsin
an enzyme made glands in the stomach wall that breaks down proteins into polypeptides
53
rugae
- gastric folds in the stomach allowing the stomach to expand when large amount of food is present
54
mucus
- protects the stomach from HCI corrosion and prevents the stomach from digesting itself
55
3 sections of small intestine
- duodenum -jejunom - ileum
56
villi
-finger like projections located on the surface of the small intestinal wall - increase maximal absorption
57
microvilli
-tiny, brush- border projections found on the surface of cells that make up the villi
