Villi and microvilli

17
Q

Two ways of digestion / food is moved

A

1) Peristalsis: propels food
forward
2) Segmentation: mixes food

18
Q

Digestive Hormones (40

A

1) Gastrin - SMELL OF FOODS
2) Secretin - when small intestines are acidic
3) Cholecystokinin
Motilin

19
Q

Swallowing

A

pharynx - controlled by medulla

20
Q

Function of stomach

A

1) Storage, Mixing, Secretion, Absorption

21
Q

Stomach can expand 20x its size

22
Q

What does the stomach secret

A

1) Acid
2) Pepsin
3) Mucous
4) Intrinsic factors B12

23
Q

Peptic Ulcers?

A

Hole caused by inflammation and necrosis (stocmahc)

causes pepsin

24
Q

Small Intestine

25
Where does most of the food absorption occur?
small intestines 90%
26
Where is bile secreted from and where everything else secreted form
1) Bile - gull bladder | 2) Pancreas
27
Small intestine Absorption (3)
1) Amino acids/ sugar | 2) Fatty acids
28
Small intestine diseases -
Regional enteritis- Crohn's disease, a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine primarily in the small and large intestines but which can occur anywhere in the digestive system between the mouth and the anus. Named after Burrill Crohn who described the disease in 1932
29
What does the large intestine do? (3)
1) Haustral contractions - slow movement 2) NA+ reabsorption 3) Water reabsorption 4) E.Coli digest fibre
30

33
Accessory Organs? (3)
1) Pancreas 2) Liver 3) Gall bladder
34
Liver Functions (6)
1) Metabolic proccessing of major nutrients 2) Detoxyfying 3) Syntheis plamasa proteins 4) Stores glycogen, fats, iron, copper, vitamins 5) Removes bacteria and worn-out red blood cells
35
