Question | Answer |
The large serous membrane that lines the abdominopelvic cavity and covers the organs | Peritoneum |
Fact: The digestive tract has a wall composed of a mucous membrane, a submucosa, smooth muscle (muscularis externa) and a serous membrane (serosa). | Fact card |
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 |
Stimulates the release of enzymes from the pancreas and causes the gallbladder to release bile | Cholecystokinin |
Hormone released between meals on an empty stomach and stimulates hunger. | Ghrelin |
Activation of the hypothalamic center located in the __________________stimulates hunger | hypothalamus |
