Chapter 9 Flashcards
(58 cards)
intracellular digestion
oxidize glucose and fatty acids for energy
extracellular digestion
obtain nutrients from food in alimentary canal
pathway of digestion
oral cavity to pharynx to esophagus to stomach to SI to LI to rectum
enteric NS
neurons for GI system
peristalsis
triggered by neurons, rhythmic contraction
parasympathetic role in digestion
stimulates digestion
salivary amylase
hydrolyzes starch into smaller sugars
starch that is polar and soluble
lipase
hydrolyzes lipids
pharynx
mouth to esophagus
has naso, oro, and laryngopharynx
has epiglottis to prevent food into larynx
esophagus
pharynx to stomach
top is skeletal, bottom is smooth muscle
Sphincters
in esophagus
upper: muscles initiate swallowing
lower: relaxes, opens for food to enter stomach
role of stomach
has hydrochloric acid and stomach enzymes
thick mucus to protect tissues
gastric glands, pyloric glands, and ruggae folds
gastric glands
fundus and body, respond to parasympathetic signals
pyloric glands
antrum and pyloris
parts of gastric
mucous cells, chief cells, parental cells
mucous cells
bicarbonate, mucus to protect wall
gastric juice
secretions from chief and parietal
chief cells
pepsinogen
parietal cells
hydrogen ions act as hydrochloric acid, cleave pepsinogen , and secrete intrinsic factor
pepsin
cleaves PP bonds to digest proteins
are activated at low pH
intrinsic factor
glycoprotein, absorb vitamin B 12
pyloric gland
G cells secrete gastrin
gastrin
peptide hormones, induces parietal to secrete HCl and stomach contractions to make chyme
What is the significance of stomach digestion
increases surface area, aids absorption in SI
