Digestion...
digestive system for massage class
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| organs of the digestive system | mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine |
| accessory organs of the digestive system | tongue, teeth, salivary glands, pancreas, liver, gallblader |
| definition of digestion | breaking down of food into absorbable nutrients |
| digestive system is closely linked with which 3 others | endocrine, nervous, immune |
| tissues that make up the walls of the GI tract, from innermost to outermost | mucosal epithelial(innermost), connective (submucosa), smooth muscle (muscularis), connective tissue (serosa) |
| diffrent types of mechanical digestion | ingestion, mastication, deglution, peristalsis, mixing, segmentation,haustration, mass movement |
| salivary gland is involved in which type of digestion | chemical |
| what does the salivary gland secrete to aid chemical digestion | water, mucus, digestive enzymes (salivary amylase, lipase, antibacterials) |
| number of salivary glands | 3 pairs |
| function of salivary glands | humidify, lubricate, amalgamate |
| organs involved in chemical digestion | mouth, stomach, small intestine |
| organs involved in absorption | small intestine (90%), stomach and large intestine (split 10%) |
| chemicals found in the stomach involved in digestion | gastric juices: water, hydrochloric acid (HCI), mucus, enzymes (pepsin, gastric lipase), hormones (gastrin) |
| in the mouth food becomes ____ in the stomach it becomes ______ in the large intestine it becomes ______ | bolus, chyme, feces |
| chemicals released by the pancreas | pancreatic juices: water, mucus, digestive enzymes (amylase, lipase), minerals (sodium bicarbonate) |
| function of sodium bicarbonate in the small intestine | neutralizing gastric juices and chyme, inhibiting gastric pepsin, creating a neutral environment (restore pH balance) |
| function of amylase | breaks down starches and sugars |
| function of lipase | breaks down lipids into fatty acids and monoglycerides |
| function of hydrochloric acid (HCI) | creating a highly acidic environment in the stomach, killing pathogens, stimulate the secretion of hormones promoting bile and pancreatic juice secretion, creating a suitable environment for pepsin to function |
| function of gastric pepsin | initiating the chemical breakdown of proteins |
| functions of the digestive system | breaking down of food, releasing nutrients, promoting passage of nutrients, excretion of dietary wastes |
| 6 main classes of nutrients | proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, water |
| functions of nutrients | provide energy, promote growth, tissue repair and regeneration, various other physiological roles |
| differences is the 2 types of vitamins | liposoluble : dissolved in fat, can be stored in body (A, D, E, K) hydrosoluble: dissolved in water, unable to store (B, C) |
| minerals found in abundance in the body | calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, sodium, chloride, magnesium, iron, iodine |
| accessory organs of the small intestine | liver, gallbladder, pancreas |
| functions of liver | bile production - enables lipase to be active, emulsifies (separates)fats |
| functions of the gallbladder | stores, concentrates, contracts and expels bile with pancreatic juices |
| functions of the pancreas | produces and secretes pancreatic juices released in duodenum by pancreatic ducts, neutralizes acidity (w sodium bicarbonate), lipase to digest fats and amylase to digest sugars |
| ingestion | the act of putting food and liquid in the mouth |
| mastication | chewing and tearing food with teeth |
| deglutition | swallowing, moving food from MOUTH to esophagus |
| peristalsis | contractions of smooth muscle layers in GI TRACT propelling food and secretions towards anus |
| mixing | contractions of smooth muscle in STOMACH blending of food with gastric secretion |
| segmentation | contractions of smooth muscle in SMALL INTESTINE optimizing nutrient absorption |
| haustration | contractions of smooth muscle in COLON leading to propulsion of feces towards rectum |
| mass movement | strong muscle contractions in COLON to excrete feces |
| anatomy of the stomach | cardia (superior sphincter, entry point from esophagus), fundus (upper rounded portion, accumulates gasses), body (large central portion), pylorus (inferior funnel), pyloric sphincter (exit point to duodenum of small intestine) |
| anatomy of small intestine | duodenum (entry point from stomach), jujenum (middle section of small intestine), ileum (final and longest segment, connects to caecum of large intestine) |
| duodenum | entry point of small intestine, receives chyme from stomach and pancreatic juices and bile from liver and gallbladder at hepatopancreatic ampulla (junction of common bile duct and pancreatic duct) |
| how small intestine promotes absorption | via large surface area created by length, circular folds, villi and microvilli of mucosa membrane, continuous regeneration of mucosal cells, rich vascularization |
| anatomy of large intestine | caecum (pouch linking to ileum via ileocecal sphincter), colon (long muscle fibers that contract - ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid), rectum (final portion of large intestine, internal -smooth muscle- and external -skeletal muscle- sphinter) |
| manoeuvres to avoid for non-infective diarrhea, crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis | abdominal region and percussions of lumbar region |
