24
What is the purpose of the ileocecal valve
After undigested food, which is now cellulose, and water passing to the cecum this fold will press flat during peristalsis and close which prevents the backflow of fecal material into the ileum
25
What is a small dead end tube with abundant lymphatic tissue that is attached to the cecum
Appendix
26
What does the remainder of the colon consist of
A sending, transverse, and descending colon which encircled the small intestine. The sigmoid colon turns medially and downward. The rectum and the anal canal
27
What disorder of the intestines is the cessation of contraction of smooth muscle layer in the intestine
Paralytic ileus
28
What causes a paralytic ileus
Possibly from abdominal surgery or the result of peritonitis or inflammation somewhere in the abdominal cavity
29
With a paralytic ileus the absence of peristalsis can cause what
Intestinal obstruction. Bowel movements cease and vomiting occurs to relieve pressure within the elementary tube
30
Treatment for a paralytic ileus
Suctioning the intestinal contents to eliminate any obstruction and to allow the intestine to regain its normal motility
31
What is the inability to digest lactose because of a deficiency of the enzyme lactase
Lactose intolerant
32
What causes salmonella food poisoning
Bacteria in the genus salmonella. These are part of the intestinal flora of animals and animal foods such as meat and eggs maybe sources infection
33
What are small outpouching's through weekend areas of the intestinal wall likely to occur in the: then in the small intestine and may exist for years without causing any symptoms
Diverticula
34
What is the most serious complication of diverticula
Perforation of diverticula allowing fecal matter into the abdominal cavity causing peritonitis
35
What is a important aspect of prevention of diverticulitis
A diet high in fiber to provide bulk in the colon and prevent weakening of it's wall
36
Where is botulism most often acquired
From food. The spores of the botulism bacteria are in an anaerobic, without oxygen, environment such as a can of food, they germinate into active bacteria and produce a neurotoxin
37
What is the characteristic of botulism
Paralysis
38
Why is botulism bad for an infant
And infants stomach does not produce much HCl, so the spores will not be destroyed. Also, the infants normal colon flora is not established without this the bacteria may Germany and produce their toxin.
39
What has been traced to many cases of infant botulism
Honey that was found to contain botulism spores
40
Who does botulism harm the most
Infants. Children and adults have a normal colon flora that prevents the botulism bacteria from becoming established
41
The longitudinal smooth muscle layer of the colon is in three bands called
Taeinae coli
42
What are the puckered or pockets called in the colon which provide more surface area
Haustra
43
What is the function of the colon
To absorb water minerals and vitamins and aluminate undigested material
44
The vitamins absorbed in the colon are those that were produced by what
Normal flora, the trillions of bacteria that live in the colon
45
Everything that is absorbed by the Colon will circulate to what Organ first
The liver by way of portal circulation
46
What is a Nother function of normal colon Flora
To inhibit the growth of pathogens
47
Does feces consist of
Cellulose and other undigestible material, Dead and living bacteria, and water
48
What to reflexes occur with peristalsis in the stomach and the duodenum
Gastrocolic reflex and duodencolic reflex
49
What brings about that gastrocolic reflex and the duodencolic reflux
The enteric nervous system
50
How is the elimination of feces accomplished
By the defecation reflex, a spinal cord reflects that may be controlled voluntarily
51
What surrounds the anus and is made of smooth muscle
Internal anal sphincter
52
As part of the reflex what does the internal anal sphincter do
It relaxes to permit defecation
53
What sphincter is made of skeletal muscle and surrounds the internal anal sphincter
The external anal sphincter
54
If defecation is delayed what will voluntarily contract and close the anus
The external sphincter
55
What are the liver cells
Hepatocytes
56
Where does blood flow through in the liver
Sinusoids (capillaries)
57
What is the function of the liver
Carbohydrate, amino acid, lipid metabolism Synthesis of plasma proteins Formation of Bilirubin Phagocytosis by Kupffer cells Storage of fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K and water soluble vitamin B 12 Detoxification
58
What vitamins are part of some of the proteins that are needed for cell respiration
Copper and iron
59
Iron is needed for hemoglobin and myoglobin to enable these proteins to what
Bond to oxygen
60
What is a toxic substance produced by the bacteria in the colon
Ammonia
61
What does the liver converts ammonia into
Urea
62
What is inflammation of the liver
Hepatitis
63
Which hepatitis is an intestinal virus spread by the fecal oral route
Hepatitis A
64
Which hepatitis is contracted by exposure to the bodily fluids of an infected person, including blood and semen
Hepatitis B
65
Which hepatitis is also present in bodily fluids and is spread by blood or mucus membrane contact.
Hepatitis C
