Small intestine

Terms and definition

QuestionAnswer
Superior mesenteric artery brings blood supply
drians into superior mesenertic veins then into hepatic portal vein then liver Veins
parasymplathetic innervation via vagus nerve and sympathetic innervation from thoracic splanchnic nerves nerves supply
Permanent folds, that force chyme to slowly sprial through lumen allowing more nutrient absorption circular folds
fingerlike projection with contains capillary bed and lymphatic capillary called a lacteal absorption villi
Cytoplasmic extensions of mucosal cells, brush order that contains brush order enzymes used for carbs and protein digestion microvilli
make up bulk of epithelium enterocytes
produce intestinal juice, watery mixture of mucus that acts as carrier fluid for chyme crypts
mucus-secreting cells found in epithelia of villi and crypts goblet cells
source of enterogastrones like cck and secretin Enteroendocrine cells
crypts, secretory cells that fortify small intestins defenses. destroy bacteria paneth cells
aggregated lympoid nomes in lamina propria peyers patches
secrete alkaline mucus to neutalize acidic chyme duodenal glands
bile, bicarbonate, digestive enzyme liver and pancreas
movement of food into duodenum to prevent it from being overwhelmed enterogastric reflex and enterogastrones
Each wave distal to previous wave is migrating motor complex
relaxes and admits chyme into large intestine illeocecal sphincter
enhances force of segmentation in ileum. gastrin increases motility gastroileal reflex
ileocecal valve flaps close when chyme exerts backwards pressure prevents regurgitiation into ileum
internal anal sphincter smooth muscle
External anal sphincter skeletal muscle
cecum, appendux and rectum are all retroperitoneal
secrete muscus to aid in emptying anal recesses
bacteria enters from small intestine or anus to colonize colon bacterial flora
Ferment indigestible carbs and mucin relases acids and gases fermentation
synthesize B complex and some vitamin K needed by liver to produce clotting factors vitamin synthesis
most contraction of colon in response to distension Haustral contrcations
initiated by food in stomach, mass movement, slow and pwerful peristaltic waves gastrocolic reflex
mass movement toward rectum. distension initiated spinal defecation reflex
carbs begins in mouth salivary amylase
breaks down starch or glycgen that escaped slaivary amylase pancreatic amylase
Digestion begins when pepsinogen is converted to pepsin
pancreatic proteases to smaller peptides trypsin and chymotrypsin
takes of one amino acid at a time carboxpeptidase
amino acids cross due to seconday active transport carriers
triglycerides breakdown products that are insouble in water emulsification
break down fat into fatty acids pancreatic lipase
triglycerifdes packaged with lecithin and lipoproteins forming chylomicron
pancreatic nucleases hydrolyze nuclein acid to nucleotide monomers
fat soluble vitamins absorbed by micells, diffuse into absorptive cells
water-solible vitamins absorbed by disffuion or passive active transportes
vitamin b12 absorbed by intrinsic factor by endocytosis
iron is tored in mucosal cells with ferrietin
electrolytes transported in blood by transferrin

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.
