Q

Explain how indigestion medication such as alka seltzer that contains bicarbonate works. (Include equation)

A

H20 (water) + C02 (Carbon Dioxide) = H2C03 (carbonic acid) = HCO3- (bicarbonate) + H+ (Proton) Bicarbonate bonds to protons, turning into carbonic acid, and then to H20 and C02, making the solution more alkaline.

Q

Name two other classes of medication to treat overproduciton of stomach acid and explain how they work.

A

PPIs: proton pump inhibitor, directly inhibits proton pump thats pumping protons into the stomach (making it acidic) Antihistamines: Histamine stimulates acid secretion, antihistamine helps block that.

91
LIVER -- What 3 components make up a portal triad?
hepatic portal vein, hepatic artery, bile duct
92
TEETH -- Know the different types of teeth, where they are and how they function.
Incisors cut food. Cuspids tear food. Premolars and molars crush and grind food.
93
SALIVARY GLANDS -- Know the function and location of the major salivary glands and their ducts.
Saliva moistens food and contains enzymes that initiate chemical digestion of carbohydrates and lipids. Parotid glands - located anterior and inferior to the ears between the skin and masseter muscle. Submandibular glands -- posterior part of the mouth floor just medial to the mandible, deep to the mylohyoid muscle. Sublingual glands -- under the tongue.
94
GALLBLADDER -- What does bile do?
Bile emulsifies lipids, which breaks down large spheres of lipids into smaller ones. Bile salts aid in digestion by breaking down lipids.
95
DIGESTIVE ENZYMES -- What is the optimal temperature for enzyme activity? What would happen if the digestion temperature is too high? What would happen if the temperature is too low?
Body temperature -- 37 degrees celsius. They denature and become inactive if the temperature is two high, and i suspect do not react if the temperature is too low.
96
PEPSIN -- Know where pepsin is produced and the food component that it digests. What is the optimal pH for pepsin activity?
Pepsin is produced as pepsinogen in cheif cells in the stomach. pepsin digests protein, and functions optimally at an acidic pH (1-3)
97
AMYLASE -- Know where amylase is produced and what food component it digests. Know a simple method you can use to test for amylase function.
Amylase can be found in saliva and secreted by the pancrease. Amylase digests carbohydrates. chew something with carbohydrates and see how long it takes to taste sweet (as salivary amylase breaks down the carbohydrates into disaccarides and monosaccarides.)
98
GI TRACT -- You should be able to name the different areas of the colon.
The large intestine is composed of the cecum, colon, rectum, and anal canal. Ascending colon to transverse colon to the descending colon, to the sigmoid colon, to the rectum.
99
GI TRACT WALL -- What is the name for the squamous epithelial layer of the serosa?
Mesothelium
