Digestive System

Biology Test 2

QuestionAnswer
What are the three parts to digestion 1)Feeding (food Intake) 2)digestion 3)1st law of thermodynamics (how energy is used)
What are the two types of feeding? -filter feeding: take in smaller particles; but constantly eating -bulk feeding: take in a lot of nutrients; but you need a digestive system
Digestion Mechanical: chewing, grinding enzymatic: break molecules into smaller parts
Two methods of digestion intracellular (macrophagy) extracellular (digestive system)
Two types of digestive tracts specialized and nonspecialized
Secretory reflex salivary gland releases saliva and amylase; breaks down starch
chewing reflex stretch reflex; contract and then relax, chewing is reflex
Swallowing reflex Soft palette contracts so food doesn't go into nasal cavity epiglottis: pharynx senses food pressure, seals trachea
Esophagus Reflex peristalsis
4 layers of the digestive tube mucosal: stratified epithelium submucosal: neurons capillaries (submucosal plexus; controls activity of particular cells in mucosa) mucosalaris: round and longitudinal muscle serosa: protective membrane; connective tissue
Three fxs of the stomach 1) Protection: pH 2; kills pathogens 2) Storage: keeps food on hold until SI is available 3)Digestion: Mechanical (churning) Enzymatic (pepsin)
Cell types in Stomach Parietal: h+ Mucous: Mucous Chief: pepsinogen->h+-> PEPSIN chomps protiens
Where do EMC cells live? Crypts (infolds in stomach)
Stomach anatomy esophagus-> sphincter-> fundus-> antrum-> sphinctor-> small intestine
How does the small intestine increase its surface area microvilli on mucosal cells villi folds of mucosal layer
what sxs take up fats and carbs and protiens? Capillaries (carbs/protiens) Lacteal (lymphatic system picks up fats)
Lumen Receives "chyme" from stomach Pancreatic enzymes break down carbs-> monosacharrides and protiens->amino acids
How are fats broken down in the stomach? Lipase: trigylcerides-> monoglyceride and fatty acids Lipase= liver derived; fat goes into lacteal system
How does the small intestine move/absorb food? Motility: smooth muscle contractions secretion: hormones, ions, water, enzymes Absorption: enabled by motility and secretion done well
dissasembly line regulated by anticipatory: before food ingested Communicative: food is in stomach
How does the Anticipatory system work? Vagus nerve-> G cells -> Gastrin -> parietal cells -> h+ also increases motility
Communicative Food in stomach-> distension-> motility-> gastrin-> chief cells-> pepsinogen-> pepsin (in h+)
Chyme in S.I. Acid from stomach->secretin-> pancrease-> HCO3 -> neutralizes chyme
S.I. response to Chyme Fats/protiens/carbs-> CCK ->pancrease -> digestive enzymes CCK->gall bladder/liver -> bile
S.I. negative feedback distension->myenteric plexus-> stomach muscularis-> stop sending chyme CCK-> slow secretion of G cells CCK-> slow motility

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
