Question
Answer
The large serous membrane that lines the abdominopelvic cavity and covers the organs   Peritoneum

🗑
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  
🗑
