215
Q

Explain the pharyngeal phase of swallowing:

bolus comes into contact with pharyngeal wall
larynx elevates
epiglottis folds over

216
Q

explain the esophogeal phase of swallowing:

A

begins with contraction of pharyngeal muscles
forces bolus to the esophogus and then peristalic contraction push it to the stomach
bolus triggers the opening of the esophogeal sphincter to open and allow the bolus to enter the stomach

217

220
Q

What are three phases of gastric activity control?

A

Cephalic
Gastric
Intestinal

221
Q

What starts the cephalic stage of gastric activity and what does this phase do?

A

seeing, smelling, or thinking of food.

prepares the stomach for food and produces gastric juice

222
Q

What starts the gastric phase of digestion?

A

Food arriving at stomach

223
Q

What controls the cephalic phase of GA, Gastric Phase?

A

Vagus Nerve

neural and local factors

224
Q

What is the neural response of the gastric phase of GA?

A

stimulation of stretch receptors in the stomach wall and chemoreceptors in the mucosa trigger sensory neurons which intervate parietal and chief cells

225
Q

When does the intestinal phase of GA start?

A

When Chyme enters stomach

226
Q

Explain the neural response of gastric activity during the intestional phase?

A

chyme leaves the stomach, distention lessens, stretch receptor stimulation decreases, while chyme entering the duodenum stimulates stretch and chemoreceptors.

The enterogastric reflex inhibits gastric production, contractions, and stimulates the pyloric sphincter.

227
Q

90% of nutritent absorption occurs in the

A

Small intestine

228
Q

what does pancreatic alpha amylase do?

Q

provides digestive enzymes and buffers to neutralize chyme

A

Pancreas

230
Q

produces bile into the small intestine containing buffers and bile salts

A

Liver

231
Q

he digestive functioning of the pancreas is mostly controlled by

A

Hormones in the duodenum

232
Q

what does pancreatic lipase do?

A

Breaks down lipids

233
Q

what do nucleases do?

A

Breakdown RNA & DNA

234
Q

what do proteolytic enzymes do?

A

Break down proteins

235
Q

proteolytic enzymes are activated in the

A

Small intestine

236
Q

What are the classes of lipids?

A

Hormones, cholesterol, steroids, fatty acids

237
Q

many monosaccharides condensed by dehydration synthesis - glycogen, starch.

A

Polysaccharide

238
Q

two simple sugars condensed by dehydration synthesis - sucrose, maltose, lactose.

A

Disaccharide

239
Q

Simple sugars with 3 to 7 carbon atoms - glucose, fructose, galactose

A

Monosaccharide

240
Q

Why are ketones dangerous?

A

They cannot be absorbed by the liver, and return to circulation via the peripheral tissues where they are converted back to acetyl-koa.
The dissociate in solution, releasing a hydrogen ion that lowers pH

241
Q

What are the five important components regarding metabolism?

A
liver
adopose tissue
skeletal muscle
neural tissue
peripheral tissues
242
Q

Why are proteins not an ideal source of ATP?

A

more difficult to break apart
makes ammonium ions, which are toxic
needed elsewhere - for structure and functioning of cells

243
Q

the hydrogen and amino group are removed from an amino acid, yielding an amoonium ion. Ammonium goes on to the liver, where it is coverted to urea via the urea cycle.

A

Deamination

244
Q

attaches an amino group to a keto acid, then coverts the keto acid into a form that can exit the mitochondria and be used for protein synthesis

A

Transamination

245
Q

equal lipids and proteins, lipids mostly cholesterol and phospholipids, transports extra cholesterol from tissues to liver for exrection through the bile - “good cholesterol”

A

Q

made of cholesterol, even less phospholipids, very few tryglycerides, deliver cholesterol to peripheral tissues that can end up in the heart - “bad cholesterol”
