Digestive System Perals Flashcards
Secretin and cholecystokinin (stimulate/delay) gastric emptying.
Delay
Gastric and motilin (stimulate/delay) gastric emptying.
Stimulate
The composition of saliva depends on the (rate of eating, it’s secretion).
It’s secretion
Saliva contains (lymphocytes, immunoglobulin a), which can help prevent infection.
Immunoglobulin a
Stretching the esophagus or intestine by bolus of food causes (peristalsis, relaxation).
Peristalsis
Fatty foods (stimulate, delay), gastric emptying; hypertonic gastric contents (stimulate, delay) gastric emptying.
Delay; delay
The intestinal brush border is the collection of (villi, microvilli); enzymes in the brush border hydrolyze (oligopeptide’s, amino acids).
Microvilli, oligopeptides
Most of the water that enters the gastrointestinal tract each day is absorbed in the (small, large) intestine; sugars are absorbed primarily in the (initial, terminal) portions of the (small, large) intestine.
Small, initial, small
The intestinal tract is (sterile, partially colonized) at birth and becomes totally colonized within 3 to 4 (days, weeks).
Sterile; weeks
A choleretic. Agent is a substance that stimulates the (pancreas, liver) to secrete(bile, glucagon).
Liver; bile
Pancreatic proteases are secreted in (active, inactive) form; pancreatic amylase is are secreted in (active, in active) form; pancreatic Lipases are secreted in (active, inactive) form.
Inactive: active: active
As age increases, gastrointestinal motility tends to (increase, decrease.)
Liver blood flow enzyme activity(increase, decrease) with age. Liver function tests (show dysfunction, remain normal) in an older adult who does not have overt liver disease.
Decrease; decreased; remain normal
What is the difference between the esophageal wall muscles in the upper third and the lower third of the esophagus?
The upper third of the esophagus has striated muscle, but the lower third has smooth muscle.
What is the difference between the visceral and parietal peritoneum?
The visceral layer of the peritoneum covers the abdominal organs, but the parietal layer extends along the abdominal wall.
What is the difference between the gastric antrum and fundus?
The antrum of the stomach is the lower portion, but the fundus is the upper portion.
What is the difference between a micelle and a chylomicron?
A micelle is a water soluble collection of bile salts and various forms of fat and cholesterol in the intestinal lumen, but a chylomicron is a water-soluble collection of triglycerides, cholesterol, and lipoprotein’s that circulates in the lymph and blood
A pancreatic enzymes that digest protein
Trypsin
A gastric enzymes that digest protein
Pepsin
Salivary enzymes that digest carbohydrates
Ptyalin
Pancreatic enzymes that digest carbohydrates
Amylase
Intestinal in some that digests disaccharides
Maltase
Pancreatic enzymes that digest fat
Lipase
Branches of this artery provide most of the blood to the stomach.
Celiac
This artery supplies most of the blood to the small intestine
Superior mesenteric
