Digestive Review AP2

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Functions of Digestive Sys   Digests food and absorbs products  
🗑
6 activities of system   Ingestion, mechanical digestion, propulsion, chemical digestion, absorption, defecation  
🗑
2 types of movement and definitions   peristalsis (pushes food) and segmentation (alternating bands of contraction that MIX food)  
🗑
Functions of salivary glands   cleanse the mouth, moisten/dissolve food, aid in formation of bolus, start chem digestion  
🗑
Number of teeth (deciduous and perm)   20 and 32  
🗑
3 types of salivary glands   parotid, sublignual, submandibular  
🗑
layers of muscle in stomach   longitudinal, circular, oblique  
🗑
Types of secretory cells in stomach   mucous, parietal, chief  
🗑
Function of mucous cells   secrete mucus  
🗑
function of parietal cells   secrete HCl and intrinsic factor (necessary to absorb B12)  
🗑
function of chief cells   secretes pepsinogen  
🗑
Phases of gastric secretion   cephalic, gastric, intestinal  
🗑
Cephalic Phase (excitatory/inhibitory events)   excit: sight/thought of food stimulates smell and taste receptors inhib: loss of appetitie, depression, decrease in PNS  
🗑
Purpose of cephalic phase   prepare stomach for digestion  
🗑
Gastric Phase (excitatory/inhibitory events)   excit: stretching stomach, activate chemoreceptors (inc pH, peptides) inhib: pH<2 or emotional upset that overrides PNS  
🗑
Chemicals released during Gastric Phase   Gastrin (from parietal cells), ACh (for production of more gastric juice), Histamine  
🗑
Intestinal Phase (excitatory/inhibitory events)   excit: low pH inhib: fatty, acidic, hypertonic chyme and stretching  
🗑
Define Plicae Circularis   circular folds that move food through sm. intesting in a corkscrew manner with villi  
🗑
Function of segmentation   brings food in to contact with wall of small intestine  
🗑
Function of villi   increase surface area of capillary beds  
🗑
Function of Lg. intestine   absorb H20 and water-soluble vitamins -NOT vital for life  
🗑
Define teniae coli   bands of longitudinal muscle  
🗑
Define Vermiform appendix   structure off of cecum with a small immune role  
🗑
Order of Chemical digestion for Carbs   Startsin mouth with salivary amylase, moves to stomach where amylase deactivates, moves to pancreatic amylase, transported into cap bed of sm. intestine, then to liver via hepatic portal system  
🗑
Pepsin   cleaves bonds of amino acids and digests proteins in stomach  
🗑
3 substances produced by sm. int for protein digestion   Trypsin, Chymotripsin, Carboxypeptidase (splits at carboxy end)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
