Q

describe the importance of serotonin levels in the digestive system

Q

what would be a better drug to treat IBS, a drug that increased side effects of serotonin or one that decreases side effects

A

a more effective drug would be one that decreases serotonin effects to decrease smooth muscle contractions of the muscularis

25
salivary amylase
enzyme important in the chemical digestion of carbs (specifically starches) in the mouth
26
what are the 3 phases of the control of the digestion
cephalic, gastric, intestinal
27
describe activity and a substance that causes the change in the stomach for cephalic
activity of the stomach increases and the substance is ACh
28
describe activity and a substance that causes the change in the stomach for gastric
activity of the stomach increases and the substance is gastrin
29
describe activity and a substance that causes the change in the stomach for intestinal
activity of the stomach decreases and the substance is GIP
30
what is the importance of carbonic anhydrase in the stomach
carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that drives the reaction to the right, which allows for production of acid in the stomach
31
what is THE chemical equation
CO2 + H2O <-> H2CO3 <-> H + HCO3
32
describe the effect of carbonic anhydrase activity on each of the phases and the substance
- cephalic: increasing; ACh - gastric: increasing; gastrin - intestinal: decreasing; GIP
33
what is the name of the stomach cell with he highest carbonic anhydrase
its highest in the cells of the stomach that secrete acid in the parietal cells
34
how does the pH of the stomach affect carbonic anhydrase activity
carbonic anhydrase activity of parietal cells would be directly proportional to the pH of the stomach
35
what is the importance of pepsinogen
pepsinogen is the active form of pepsin (the protein important in the chemical digestion of proteins in the stomach)
36
what cell produces pepsinogen
pepsinogen is produced by chief cells of the stomach
37
what is the pH that pepsinogen requires for activation
pepsinogen is converted to pepsin in the presence of acid/low pH
38
what does pepsinogen require activation
because its produced in the inactive form so that it doesn't digest the walls of the stomach
39
importance of triglycerides
digested in the small intestine
40
importance of bile
bile is a substance that mechanically digests lipids, emulsifying fats, and increasing the surface area for the enzyme pancreatic lipase
41
importance of pancreatic lipase
enzyme that is important for chemical digestion of lipids in the small intestines
42
importance of micelles
transport the digestion products of pancreatic lipase to the walls of the small intestine for their absorption
43
importance of chylomicrons
transport triglycerides from their site of absorption in the small intestine through the lymph and into the blood and on to the adipose tissue
44
what hormone is present in absorptive state
insulin
45
what hormone is present in post absorptive state
glucagon
46
primary fuel source for most tissues in absorptive state
glucose
47
primary fuel source for most tissues in post absorptive state
fats
48
primary fuel source for nervous tissue in absorptive state
glucose
49
primary fuel source for nervous tissues in post absorptive state
glucose
50
timing for abortive state
immediately following a meal
51
timing for post absorptive state
hours after a meal
52
relative blood pH for absorptive state
basic
53
relative blood pH for post absorptive state
acidic
54
anabolism
production of polymers from monomers (=synthesis reactions); occurs more during absorptive state
55
catabolism
production of monomers from polymers (=breakdown reactions); would occur more during the post absorptive state
56
during pregnancy would the fetus be more in the absorptive state and post absorptive state
the fetus would be in the absorptive state and the mother would be in the post absorptive state
57
why is it common for pregnant women to develop gestational diabetes
since insulin is the hormone of the absorptive state pregnant women can develop gestational diabetes which would ensure that they are not in the absorptive state
58
what is the importance of acetyl coenzyme A to energy production by cells
its a chemical intermediate that enters the Krebs cycle and ultimately ending in oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria
59
describe the affect of acetyl coenzyme a levels on anabolism and catabolism
- anabolism: when acetyl CoA levels are high lipids are anabolized - catabolism: when acetyl CoA levels are low all nutrients are catabolized
60
describe the most likely effect of insulin and glucagon on acetyl coenzyme A
blood glucose levels are directly proportional to cellular acetyl CoA levels. insulin should raise acetyl CoA levels and glucagon should lower acetyl CoA levels
61
what are the 4 mechanisms of heat exchange
conduction, convection, evaporation, radiation
62
conduction
heat transfer between solids; little importance
63
convection
heat transfer in fluids; importance is directly related to wind speed
64
evaporation
heat transfer caused when water changes state from a liquid to a gas; only mechanism for heat loss when air temp exceeds body temp
65
radiation
heat transfer through waves; largest source of heat transfer; in summer people wear fewer clothes in order to increase heat loss through convection and evaporation; in winter people wear more clothes in order to decrease heat loss through convection
66
describe skin thermoreceptors and the core thermoreceptors
- skin receptors are less sensitive (since skin temp can vary widely); in skin there are more cold thermoreceptors than warm thermoreceptors - core thermoreceptors are more sensitive; in the core there are more warm thermoreceptors than cold thermoreceptors
