Gastric ulcer
43
What causes ulcer formation
Over secretion of HCl or under secretion of mucus
44

What bacterium is most often the cause of gastric ulcers
Helicobacter pylori
46
Where does the common bile duct enter the duodenum

8 feet long
48
How long is the ileum
11 feet long
49
Where is digestion completed
In the small intestine
50
Where are the end products of digestion absorbed
Into the blood and the Lympth
51
What type of epithelium does the mucosa have
Simple columnar epithelium
52
The simple columnar epithelium of the mucosa include cells with _____ that secrete mucus
Microvilli and goblet cells
53
What cells secrete the hormones of the small intestine
Enteroendocrine cells
54
What are abundant throughout the intestinal mucosa and in the ileum that destroy absorbed pathogens
Lymph nodules called peyers patches
55
The external muscle layer of the small intestine has the circular and longitudinal smooth muscle layers that do what
Mix the chime with digestive secretions and propel the chime towards a colon
56
What three sources of digestive secretions that function within the small intestine
the liver the pancreas and the small intestine
57
How many of those are in the liver
2
58
Where are the liver lobes located
Upper right and center of the abdominal cavity just below the diaphragm
59
What is the structural unit of the liver
Liver Lobule
60
What is the liver lobule
And roughly hexagonal column of liver cells | Hepatocytes
61
What are the capillaries of a lobule
Sinusoids, large and permeable vessels between the rows of liver cells
62
Where do the sinusoids of the lobule receive blood from
The hepatic artery and portal vein
63
What blood does the hepatic artery bring
Oxygenated blood
64
What does the portal vein bring blood from to the liver
The digestive organs and spleen
65
Each lobule has a central vein and the central vein lobules unite to form what
Hepatic veins which take blood out of the liver to the inferior vina cava
66
What is the digestive function of the cells of the liver
Production of bile
67
Where does bile enter
The small bile ducts called bile caniculi, on the liver cells
68

73

Bile salts
74
What do bile salts do
Emulsify fats in the small intestine
75
What is emulsification
Large fat globules are broken into smaller globules
76
Is emulsification a mechanical or chemical digestion
