Digestive Flashcards
(30 cards)
Water soluble vitamins
B1-B3, B5-B7, B9, B12, C
Fat Soluble vitamins
Vitamin A, D, E, K
What do vitamins do in the digestive system?
help speed up chemical reactions in. ells by lowering activation energy of chem. reactions.
Four lobes of the liver
right and left (anterior), caudate (posterior, top, middle), quadrate (posterior, bottom, square)
liver sinusoids are found:
in purple throughout the hepatic lobule branching from the portal veins and hepatic arteries
What are hepatocytes?
Cells throughout the hepatic lobule
what are kupffer cells?
macrophage of the liver
what does the liver turn aged blood cells into?
after 120 days, heme is broken down in rbcs to biliverdin (spleen) and then biliverdin spontaneously becomes bilirubin”unconjugated” and goes to liver via albumin; in liver the uncog. bili is made into glucuronic acid (and congugated) and sent to intestines
hepatocytes make…
bile
bile travels in… to join together in…
bile canaliculi; bile ducts
hepatic triad
hepatic vein, artery, and bile ducts
Flow of bile from bile canaliculi to the galbladder
canaliculi, ducts (right lobe), right hepatic duct, common hepatic duct (l and r and goes to intestine), or cystic duct branch leads to galbladder
panreas cells of the islets
alpha cells: glucagon
beta cells: insulin
delta cells: somatostatin
PP cells: pancreatic
epsilon cells: ghrelin
islets secrete hormones, exocrine cells secrete… into the pancreatic ducts
pancreatic juices
stimulus of gastric phase of digestion
food stretches stomach
stimulus of cephalic phase
sight, smell, thought, taste of food stimulates brain
cephalic phase response…
salivation and stomach acid secretion (prepping body for food)
chemical digestion in deudenum
release of sodium bicarbonate
chemical digestion in the jejunum
digestive enzymes of the brush border (brushy area of small intestine with all the enzymes)
gastrin acts on and does…
stomach and promotes gastric juice secretion
secretin acts on…
pancreas and puts more bicarb in pan juice
histamine
parietal cells of the stomach, increases acid secretion
motilin does..
acts on many digestive organs; increases migrating myoelectric complexes, increase pepsin, increase bowel motility
CCK job
eject bile and open the hepatopancreatic sphincter
