Digestive Ch. 17

QuestionAnswer
Layers of the wall of the Alimentary Canal Mucosa, Submucosa, Muscular layer, Serosa
Segmentation Mixes contents in small intestine by contracting and relaxing smooth muscle
Peristalsis A ring of contraction occurs in the wall moving the contents along.
Epiglottis Covers the trachea
What cartlidge is in trachea? Hylan
Lacteal a lymphatic capillary associated with a villus of the small intestine. absorbs fat molecule.
Enzyme in mouth Amylase-starch & glycogen to disaccharides
Enzyme in stomach Pepsin-proteins
Cells in stomach Chief->pepsin and Parietal->HCl & Intrinsic factor
Enzymes in pancreas Amylase/Lipase->fats to glycerol/Tripsin & Chymotripsin->proteins to peptides/Carboxypeptidase->peptides to amino acids/Nucleases->nucleic acids into nucelotides
Enzymes in small intestine Maltase, Sucrase, Lactase all ->disaccharides to monosaccharides
Gastrin Hormone in stomach, promotes gastric juice secretion & increases gastric motility
Secretin Hormone in duodenum, promotes secretion of pancreatic juices rich in bicarbonate
Cholecystokinin (CCK) Hormone in small intestine, promotes pancreatic juice, stimulates gallbladder to release bile, satiety feeling
Duodenum Receives bile from liver and gallbladder, chyme from stomach & pancreatic enzymes.
Hepatic Portal Vein From intestines to liver, allows amino acids, monosaccharides and glucose to liver.
Liver function Secretion->proteins and bile/Storage/Detoxification of blood
Insulin Hormone in pancreas that stimulates adipocytes to admit glucose and store fat.
Leptin In adipocites suppresses appetite and increases metabolic rate after eating, acts on target cells in the hypothalamus.
Neuropeptide Y Neurotransmitter in hypothalamus enhances appetite.
Ghrelin Hormone in stomach enhances appetite by stimulating the release of Neuropeptide Y.
Water Soluble Vitamins B & C (beach coast)
Fat Soluble Vitamins All except B & C
Phases of Gastric Secretion Cephalic, Gastric and Intestinal
Cephalic phase Taste, smell, food in mouth, thoughts of food sends impulses to the medulla. Parasympathetic neurons via vagus nerve stimulate secretion of HCL, Pepsinogen & Gastrin in stomach. Gastrin travels thru bloodstream & stimulates gastric secretion.
Gastric phase distention activates parasympathetic reflex via medulla, gatric glands release gastrin resulting in continued secretion of HCL & Pepsinogen.
Intestinal phase Lipids and hydrogen ions inhibit gastric secretion by causing impulses to the medulla that decrease stimulation of gastric glands, reflexes inhibit gastric secretion, cause the release of secretin, gastric inhibitory peptide and CCK.
Glycolysis In cytosol. Input=Glucose->2 Pyruvate+2ATP+2NADH. Anaerobic=fermentation, ethanol, lactase & lactic acid. Aerobic=Cellular respiration
Citric Acid Cycle In mitochondria. Input=Acetyl CoA. Outputs=2ATP+6NADH+4CO2+2FADH2
ETC 32 ATP + H2O (Total = 36 ATP)
NAD & FAD Hydrogen transporters and acceptors
Monosacharides (carbs) Absorbed by facilitated diffusion and active transport.
Amino Acids (Proteins) Absorbed by active transport.
Fatty Acids and Glycerol (lipids) Absorbed by facilitated diffusion of glycerol and diffusion of fatty acids into cells
Glucogenesis Formation of glucose from any product of glycolysis
Beta Oxidation Chemical process that breaks fatty acids down into molecules of acetyl which bind coenzyme A, entering the citric acid cycle.
Deamination A process in the liver that removes the nitrogen groups (NH2) from the amino acids.
Calcium Mineral/Functions:teeth and bones, neurotransmitter release, muscle contraction, blood coagulation
Sodium Mineral/Functions:helps maintain osmotic pressure of extracellular fluids, regulates water movement, nerve impulse conduction, regulates pH and transport of substances across cell membranes.
Iron Element/Function:part of hemoglobin molecule, catalyzes formation of vitamin A; incorporated into a number of enzymes.
Iodine Element/Function:Essential component for synthesis of thyroid hormones
Anorexia Self imposed starvation. Person develops low blood pressure, slowed or irregular heartbeat, constipation, hair becomes brittle, skin dries out and constant chilliness.
Bulimia Normal weight person that eats anything in large amounts and then gets rid of extra calories by vomiting, taking laxatives or exercising frantically.
Gluconeogenesis The liver may convert non carbs such as amino acids from proteins or glycerol from fats, into glucose.
Glycogenolysis Breakdown of glycogen to glucose
Glycogenesis Synthesis of glycogen by polymerizing glucose
Plasma proteins Albumin, fibrinogen, angiotensinogen
Liver metabolizes carbs, lipids and proteins/stores glycogen, Vit A,D & B12, Iron & blood. makes lipoproteins(LDL & HDL), & cholesterol.
