Goodcare LPN C17 Digestive System
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The large serous membrane that lines the abdominopelvic cavity and covers the organs | Peritoneum |
| Fact: The digestive tract has a wall composed of a mucous membrane, a submucosa, smooth muscle (muscularis externa) and a serous membrane (serosa). | Fact card |
| Occurs in the esophagus | Peristalsis |
| Occurs in the small intestine | Segmentation |
| Proteins are digested in what organ | Stomach |
| 3 Division s of the small intestine | Duodenum, jejunum, and ileum |
| Most digestion and absorption takes place in this area of the digestive tract | Small intestine |
| Area of the intestine that absorbs some water and forms and stores stool. | Large intestine |
| The salivary glands are the ____________, submandibular and sublingual | Parotid |
| Organ that secretes bile to emulsify fat. | Liver |
| Stores bile and contracts to release it into the duodenum | Gall bladder |
| Secretes sodium bicarbonate which neutralizes the acidic chyme from the stomach | Pancreas |
| Splitting of water as in digestion | Hydrolysis |
| Produces the most complete digestive secretions | Pancreas |
| Movement of digested nutrients into the circulation | absorption |
| 2 types of control over the digestive process | Nervous and hormonal control |
| Keeps stomach contents from passing upward into the esophagus | Lower esophageal sphincter |
| Fact: The enzyme pepsin might be affected if stomach aid (HCL) is reduced, because pepsin needs HCL for activation. | Fact Card |
| This enzyme can compensate for the loss of pepsin | Trypsin |
| The element affected by a Proton Pump inhibitor | Hydrogen |
| Accessory organs that secrete into the mouth | Salivary glands |
| The part of the peritoneum around the small intestine | Mesentery |
| Between the submucosa and the serous membrane in the digestive tract wall | Smooth muscle |
| The smooth muscle in the digestive tract wall is __________ and __________ | Circular and longitudinal |
| Moves food rapidly and is most useful in the esophagus | Peristalsis |
| Common name for the gingiva | gum |
| Additional muscle layer in the stomach that is not found in the rest of the digestive tract | The oblique muscle layer |
| Joins the cecum of the large intestine at the ileocecal valve | The ileum |
| Glands located directly below the tongue | Sublingual salivary glands |
| 2 monosacaccharide components of sucrose | Glucose and fructose |
| The layer that covers organs | Visceral peritoneum |
| The layer of the peritoneum in contact with the body wall | Parietal peritoneum |
| Accessory secretory organs needed for digestion but not a direct part of the digestive tract | Salivary glands, liver, gallbladder and pancreas |
| Double layered portion of the peritoneum | Mesentery |
| Chewing of food | mastication |
| Movement of controlled amounts of food toward the throat to be swallowed | deglutition |
| Important in regulating how rapidly food moves into the small intestine | Pyloric sphincter |
| Folds of the stomach when empty | Rugae |
| Highly acidic semi-liquid mixtures of gastric juice and food that leaves the stomach to enter the small intestine | Chyme |
| Fact: the small intestine participates in all aspects of digestive function: secretion, motility, digestion and absorption | Fact card |
| The micro villi (villus) ion the cells that line the small intestine, increase surface are to aid in ________________ | Absorption |
| This enzyme and mucus are contained in saliva which initiate carbohydrate digestion | Salivary amylase |
| Largest accessory organ | Liver |
| 2 vessels that supply blood to the liver | The portal vein and hepatic artery |
| Fact: the hepatic artery carries blood high in oxygen whereas the venous portal system caries blood that is lower in oxygen and rich in digestive end products | Fact card |
| Glucose is stored in the liver in the form of _______________ | Glycogen |
| Organ important in the modification and storage of fats | Liver |
| True or False : The pancreas stores iron and vitamins | False, the liver |
| Organ important in the formation of blood plasma proteins, albumin, globulin and clotting factors. | Liver |
| A pigment and by product of blood cell destruction | Bilirubin |
| Eliminated in bile and gives stool it's dark color | Bilirubin |
| A waste product of protein metabolism which is synthesized in the liver | Urea |
| Released into blood stream and transported to the kidneys for elimination | Urea |
| It's production is the liver's main digestive function | bile |
| The salts contained in Bile act like a detergent to ____________ fat | emulsify |
| Fact: The common bile duct carries bile from the liver and gallbladder but the common hepatic duct carries bile from the liver | Fact card |
| Bile from the liver flows up through the cystic duct into the _______________ | Gallbladder |
| Fact: When chyme enters the duodenum, the gallbladder contracts and the hepatopancreatic sphincter opens. Bile flows out of the gallbladder and liver into the duodenum. | Fact card |
| Means by which digested nutrients reach the blood | Absorption |
| 2 types of control over digestion | Nervous and hormonal |
| "Gut brain" - receives stimuli and issues commands for digestion | Enteric nervous system |
| Fact: The digestive organs produce the hormones involved in regulating digestion | Fact card |
| Hormone which promotes stomach secretions and motility | Gastrin |
| Inhibits the release of gastric juice in the stomach | gastric inhibitory peptide |
| simulates the pancreas to release water and bicarb to dilute and neutralize chyme | Secretin |
| Stimulates the release of enzymes from the pancreas and causes the gallbladder to release bile | Cholecystokinin |
| Hormone released between meals on an empty stomach and stimulates hunger. | Ghrelin |
| Activation of the hypothalamic center located in the __________________stimulates hunger | hypothalamus |
