25
oxyntic mucosa (body and fundus) (elk stomach - couch)
a. surface epithelial cells secrete thick alkaline mucus that protects stomach from acid and digestive enzymes b. mucous neck cells produce watery, lubricating mucus, also divide rapidly and differentiate into other cell types (entire mucosa replaced every 3 days)
26
parietal cells secrete...(parietal eskimo)
HCl, activates digestive enzymes and produces optimal pH for protein digestion; breaks down connective tissue and muscle; kills bacteria
27
chief cells secrete pepsinogen (flat pepsi chief)
(inactive so cells won't be digested), which is converted to protein digestive enzyme pepsin
28
pyloric gland area (antrum) (pylon - g - doorway)
a. secretes mucus and some pepsinogen (not HCl) * b. G cells secrete hormone gastrin (1) stimulates parietal and chief cells (2) stimulates growth of mucosa in stomach and small intestine
29
control of gastric secretions (CIG secretions)
cephalic phase, gastric phase, intestinal phase
30
cephalic phase (eat epi)
thinking about food and eating increases gastric secretion via parasympathetic stimulation
31
gastric phase (PDAC) - caffeine
protein, distention, caffeine and alcohol initiate both short and long reflexes that trigger gastrin secretion
32
intestinal phase (intestines -protein - ric and stone - cat tree - me)
(1) protein stimulates release of intestinal gastrin (excitatory component) *(2) enterogastric reflex and enterogastrones suppress secretory activity (inhibitory component)
33
Small Intestine (major)
major organ of digestion and absorption
34
small intestine - motility segmentation (chyme - oates - illiana - kitchen)
1. mixes chyme and exposes chyme to absorptive surfaces 2. slowly moves chyme forward 3. duodenum segments in response to distention 4. ileum segments in response to gastrin when chyme is in the stomach (gastroileal reflex)
35
pancreas secretes digestive...(pan - elk - duo)
enzymes and protective alkaline fluid (NaHCO3) into duodenum
36
proteolytic enzymes (king meditating)
secreted in inactive forms
37
pancreatic amylase (secreted in active form) (poly amethyst)
polysaccharides➝disaccharides
38
pancreatic lipase (active) (lips - 3 to 1)
triglycerides ➝ monoglycerides + fatty acids
39
liver's digestive function is...(bile waiting)
to produce bile that can be stored in gall bladder until needed in the duodenum
40
bile salts (hippo)
cholesterol and lecithin are produced by hepatocytes (other fluids come from bile duct cells)
41
other liver functions - hepatic portal...(mario - vein)
circulation brings venous blood from digestive tract directly to liver
42
small intestines adapted for...(small sponge)
absorption (lots of surface area)
43
Na+ (salt - pump - bed)
a. active and passive b. Na+-K+pump at basolateral side establishes gradients for passive movement c. H2O and Cl- follow d. also involved in secondary active transport of sugars and amino acids
44
large intestine actively absorbs..(large - desk)
Na+, H2O and Cl- follow | - no digestion except bacteria digest cellulose for themselves
45
large intestine secretes...(large elk)
alkaline, lubricating mucus
46
Leptin (lepra - window)
made by fat cells, tells hypothalamus you have enough energy stored and suppresses appetite (molecular satiety signal)
47
Ghrelin (growling)
made by stomach, signals hunger and activates reward system
48
PYY (pi - full)
released by intestines as food moves through (satiety signal)
49
fiber
1. insoluble helps food move faster and generate satiety signal sooner 2. soluble delays stomach emptying making you feel more full
50
gastric emptying - fat... - duodenum (oates -pool)
fat, acid, increased osmolarity and distention in duodenum. trigger slowing of gastric emptying via neural and hormonal responses
51
gastric emptying - neural response (short and)
short and long reflexes (enterogastric reflex)
52
gastric emptying - hormonal response (SCG) (CCK) (empty stones lake)
SCG | enterogastrones released to blood act on stomach (secretin, cholecystokinin or CCK, gastric inhibitory peptide or GIP)
53
parietal cells secrete...(parent take vitamins)
intrinsic factor allows absorption of vitamin B12
54
control of pancreas secretions (CIG) (16)
CIG a. cephalic phase b. gastric phase * c. intestinal phase
55
proteolytic enzymes - trypsinogen becomes... (trip w/ kinase and moon)
➝trypsin, with enterokinase in luminal border of mucosa
56
proteolytic enzymes - trypsin (convert) (road trip)
digests protein and converts other enzymes to active forms. each enzyme breaks different peptide bond
57
bile salts emulsify...(ax)
fats - break up fat into droplets to expose more surface area for digestion
58
bile salts form (mines)
micelles that carry non-water soluble products of fat digestion to absorption sites on mucosa
59
bile salts are released in response to...(epi is vile)
parasympathetic stimulation, secretin, *bile use
60
liver functions - processing (warehouse sun)
(1) processing/storage of nutrients (2) detoxification of wastes, drugs, etc. b. makes plasma proteins c. activates vitamin D
61
liver functions - macrophages...(mac - fridge)
d. macrophages (Kupffer cells) eat bacteria and old RBCs e. excretes cholesterol f. excretes bilirubin (from breakdown of Hb)
62
large intestine also synthesize (micro)
vitamin K, which we absorb (important in clotting)
63
large intestine - bacteria can't go..
backward to small intestine (ileocecal valve and sphincter)
64
large intestine motility (runway)
1. haustral contraction (similar to segmentation but slower) - mostly short reflex control 2. mass movements (gastrocolic reflex) a. strong contractions move contents to rectum for storage until defecation reflex occurs (triggered by distention)
65
small intestines secrete...(brush)
mucus, but digestive enzymes are in epithelial cell membranes (brush border)
66
small intestines absorb...(best of...gym)
most nutrients to its full ability (iron and Ca2+ regulated)
67
pancreas secretions - cephalic phase (epi)
parasympathetic stimulation
68
pancreas secretions - gastric phase
gastrin
69
pancreas secretions - intestinal phase (the secretary phase - w/ test soda CK)
