17
Q

sphincter in esophagus

A

cardiac (prevent reflux)

18
Q

very limited digestion and absorption, storage tank for food

A

stomach

19
Q

structure of stomach

A

gastric glands and pyloric sphincter

20
Q

gastric glands

A

lumen, mucus, parietal, chief cells

21
Q

pyloric sphincter

A

controls entry of stomach, contents into small intestine

22
Q

stomach exocrine

A

parietal and chief cells

23
Q

parietal cells

A

hydrochloric acid (HCL)

24
Q

chief cells

A

pepsinogen (cleaved to pepsin-protease- by HCL)

25
Q

endocrine stomach

A

G cells: secrete gastrin (inc gastric glands, feedback inhibited by pH)

26
Q

virtually all digestion and absorption

A

small intestine

27
Q

three regions of small intestine

A

duodenum (5%), jejunum (40%), ileum (55%)

28
Q

small intestine structure importance

A

inc SA

29
Q

exocrine of small intestine

A

enterokinase and brush border enzymes

30
Q

activates trypsinogen and sets off chain rxn

A

enterokinase

31
Q

dipeptides and disaccharides, create monomers for absorp

A

brush border enzymes

32
Q

endocrine of small intestine

A

enterogastrone, CCK, secretin

33
Q

triggered by food in small intestines, slows down stomach emptying and motility

A

enterogastrone

34
Q

increases bile release and pancreatic enzyme release, trigger fats and proteins in sm intestines

A

CCK

35
Q

triggered by low pH in intestines, increases bicarb release from pancrease

A

secretin

36
Q

reabsorbs H2O, store feces

A

large intestine

37
Q

structure of large intestine

A
  1. ) bacteria
  2. ) illeocecal valve
  3. ) internal/external sphincters
38
Q

secrete vitamin K, reduce growth of pathogens by eating leftover nutrients

A

bacteria

39
Q

usually closed bu relaxes when food in stomach

A

illeocecal valve

40
Q

internal anal spincter

A

involuntary control, smooth muscle

41
Q

external anal spinhcter

A

voluntary control, skeletal muscle
