Q

What is the general function of the digestive system

A

1) Ingestion/eating -food intake
2) Digestion - mechanical (crush/mix) or chemical (enzymatic breakdown)
3) Absorption - Nutrient absorbed by epithelial cells into blood/lymph
4) Egestion - defecation - excretion of undigested food

25
what do premolars/bicuspid do & molars
chew/grind (8) 12 molars
26
what is the function of the salivary glands
- exocrine - moisten & dissolve food - Antimicrobial b/c lysozyme & IgA antibodoes - buffers acids - lubricated bolus
27
where are parotid salivary glands
cheek
28
where are sublingual salivary glands
under tongue
29
where are submandibular salivary glands
floor of mouth (secret 70%)
30
What is the epithelium of the esophagus made of
Non-keratinized stratified squamous
31
what do the submucosal mucus glands do in the esophagus
lubricate bolus
32
what does the cardiac/esophageal sphincter do
regulates food into stomach
33
Explain how swallowing/deglutition occurs
initiated voluntarily but proceeds automatically
34
Explain the swallow reflex
1) initiated when bolus contacts uvula 2) Pharyngal muscles contract to push food into esophagus 3) Peristalsis moves food toward stomach
35
what is the fundus of the stomach
the top part
36
what is the pylorus of the stomach
bottom b4 sphincter
37
what does the pyloric sphincter do
between stomach & duodenum
38
function of the stomach & special feature
Storage organ w/ ruggae folds that expand | Had an additional oblique muscle in the muscularis
39
What do the gastric pits of the stomach do
house the gastric bands
40
what do the mucous neck cells of the stomach do
secrete mucous
41
what do the parietal cells of the stomach do
secrete HCL and intrinsic factor (required for B12 reabsorption)
42
What do the Chief cells of the stomach do
secrete pepsinogen (which is activated by HCL to become pepsin which is an enzyme that digests proteins)
43
what do the g cells in the stomach do
secret gastrin (stimulates secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by the parietal cells of the stomach and aids in gastric motility)
44
what ph is gastric juice
2
45
What is acid chyme
acidic food paste via stomach churning. Moves through pyloric sphincter into duodenum
46
What are the 3 subdivisions of the small intestine
1) Duodenum 2) Jejunum 3) Illium
47
describe the duodenum
- proximal - main-site or enzymatic digestion/chemical - recieves pancreatic juice - receives bile from gallbladder (produced in liver)
48
Describe the Jejunum & Illium
huge SA specialized for absorption of water & nutrients. Also secrete digestive enzymes
49
What are the plicae chambers of the sm. intestine
large fold in the mucosal membrane
50
what are the villi in the sm. intestine
finger like projections on the mucosal surface
51
what are the microvilli in the sm. intestine
folds in apical surface of epithelial cells -> form brush boarder membrane
52
What do the goblet cells secrete in sm. intestine
mucus
53
what do the crypt cells secrete in sm. intestine
digestiv eenzymes

produce alkaline secretion
55
What is the function of the large intestine
1) water reabsorption 2) Compaction/ storage of feces 3) absorption of some vitamins 4) many non-pathogenic bacteria called coliform - Protect, digest, stimulate immune system, produce vit.K & vit. B's
56
What is the inside of the large intestine like
Simple columnar, no villi, lots of goblet cells

60
what is haustra
pouches in large intestine
61
what is the internal anal sphincter made of
smooth muscle.
62
what is the external anal sphincter made of
skeletal muscle
63
what is the largest visceral organ
liver
64
what is the function of the liver
1) Metabolic factory - Recieves nutrients through digestive system -> metabolizes & stores 2) produces bile from cholesterol which emulsifies fats 3) inactivation of drugs, toxins & hormones 4) breaks down RBC, hemoglobin & antibodies 5) synthesis of plasma proteins (clotting factors, albumin, complement)
65
The liver recieves ___ of cardiac output
25%
66
what does the hepatic artery do
Delivers O2 rich blood from the heart
67
what does the hepatic portal vein do
delivers nutrient rich blood from the digestive blood from the digestive system
68
what does the hepatic vein do
drains deoxygenated blood into inferior vena cava
69
what are the cells of the liver called
hepatocytes
70
what is the functional unit of the liver called
a lobule (hexagon shape) forms portal triads connected by a central vein
71
what is a portal triad
central vein in middle of lobule | on each corner there is a bile duct, portal venue & hepatic arteriole called a triad
72
what are sinusoids
nutrient rich blood percolates through these liver capillaries as it passes through, hepatocytes absorb & secrete materials in the blood stream
73
what does the gall bladder do
stores & concentrates bile
74
How is bile released (flow)
1) gallbladder contracts 2) Cystic duct 3) common bile duct 4) hepatopancreatic sphincter 5) duodenum
75
How is bile stored (flow)
1) L&R hepatic ducts 2) Common hepatic ducts 3) Hepatopancreatic sphincter is closed so it goes up the mystic duct to the dilated gallbladder
76
What are the pancreatic acidic
house exocrine, secrete pancreatic juice
77
what is in pancreatic juice
1) Alkaline soln 2) lipase - digests lipids 3) Nucleases - digests RNA/DNA 4) Amylase - Digests starch 5) proteases -digests proteins
78
What is the alkaline soln. in pancreatic juice
NaHCO3 that neutralizes HCL
79
what are proteases actually secreted as from the pancreatic acini
Inactive Zymogens
80
what are the 4 inactive zymogens
1) Chymotrypsinogen 2) Trypsinogen 3) procarboxypeptidase 4) elastase
81
what does the pancreatic duct do
delivers pancreatic juice to hepatopancreatic sphincter & duodenum
