Digestive Flashcards
Amylase
break down starch
Chief cells
- in stomach (gastric cell)
2. secrete pepsinogen
Mucous cells
- in stomach (gastric cell)
2. secrete mucus (protect muscular wall)
Parietal cells
- in stomach (gastric cell)
2. secrete HCl
Gastric gland
establish milieu in stomach, secreting juices
Pyloric gland
mix and maintain milieu; secrete gastrin
Gastrin
- hormone secreted by in stomach (stimulated by incoming food)
- secrete more HCl, mix contents of stomach
Stomach= site for __
digestion, not absorption
Pepsin
- digest proteins
- active form of pepsinogen (secreted by chief cells)
- in stomach!
Cardiac sphincter= lower esophageal sphincter
between esophagus and stomach
Pyloric sphincter
between stomach and duodenum
Small intestine=site of ____
digestion and absorption
Pancreatic juice
- in bircarbonate solution, to neutralize acidic chyme
- contains enyzmes to digest all 3 types of nutrients:
a. pancreatic amylase
b. pancreatic peptidases
c. lipase
Pancreatic peptidases
typsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, elastinogen, and carboxypeptidase
Bile
- emulsify fats (into micelles)
2. made in liver, stored in gall bladder
CCK
- secreted by small intestine
2. release pancreatic juices and bile
Small intestine enzymes
disaccharidases (maltase, lactase, sucrase) peptidases (dipeptidase) enterokinase secretin CCK
Secretin
- secreted by small intestine (due to HCl)
2. release pancreatic juices
Enterogastrone
- secreted by duodenum
2. slow movement of chyme, allowing more time to digest fat
Chylomicron
- insoluble packages, encasing TGs and esterified cholesterol
- enter lymph system via lacteals
Large intestine
- Cecum- appendix, connect to small intestine
- colon- reabsorb water and salts
- rectum- store feces
Enterokinase
- secreted by intestinal glands
2. activates trypsinogen–> trypsin, which activates carboxypeptidase
Trypsin
- secreted by pancreas, but acts in small intestine
2. hydrolyzes peptide bonds
Lipase
- secreted by pancreas
2. hydrolyze lipids
