Cards

Term
liver
Definition
produces bile, detoxifies blood from small intestine, nutrient storage/release/interconversion
Term
gall bladder
Definition
stores, concentrates and releases bile
Term
stomach body
Definition
stores food
Term
stomach antrum
Definition
mixing, mechanical digestion
Term
stomach secretions
Definition
HCl, pepsinogen(->pepsin, a protease), gastrin (hormone)
Term
pancreas
Definition
exocrine gland - lipase, protease, sugar-ase, HCO3 (offsets stomach acid)
Term
intraperitoneal
Definition
most of digestive system is suspended by a mesentery and surrounded by a visceral peritoneum
Term
retroperitoneal
Definition
aorta, IVC, UG system (intermediate mesoderm). covered on one side by parietal peritoneum. superficial to the peritoneal cavity.
Term
secondarily retroperitoneal
Definition
begin intra, end retro, fuse to body wall. duodenum, pancreas, ascending/descending colon (not transverse, sigmoid etc.)
Term
unitary smooth muscle (3)
Definition
=visceral smooth muscle. autorhythmic due to slow wave potentials, have many gap junctions for coordinated contraction of long sheets of muscle
Term
more action potentials in muscle means
Definition
stronger contractions
Term
how often smooth muscle wave potentials
Definition
3-12 per minute. stomach/ileum 3-5, duodenum ~ 12. too many potentials -> cramps!
Term
weak tonic contractions
Definition
Term
contraction at pylorus
Definition
mostly just pushes stuff back into the antrum
Term
stomach growling
Definition
peristalsis every 90 minutes with or without food
Term
vomiting
Definition
reverse peristalsis
Term
reciprocal inhibition
Definition
para/sympathetic descending autonomics - increasing parasympathetic decreases sympathetic and vice versa
Term
vagus, pelvic splanchnics
Definition
parasympathetic. 90% sensory. increase motility and secretions
Term
post-ganglionic sympathetics from pre-vertebral ganglia
Definition
decrease motility and secretions. 90% motor.
Term
descending (autonomic) control
Definition
vagus, sympathetic prevertebral ganglia
Term
T/F - descending and local systems interact with each other
Definition
true
Term
local (enteric nervous system)
Definition
intramural plexus! myenteric and submucosal. sufficient to operate the system, without autonomics!
Term
myenteric
Definition
Auerbach's plexus - motility control. complexes with submucosal for local reflexes
Term
submucosal nervous stuff
Definition
meissner's plexus, secretions control. interacts with myenteric for local reflexes
Term
GI hormones and paracrines produced by gut epithelium
Definition
hormones - broad effects - CCK, mostly from duodenum. paracrines - local effects - gastrin, mostly from antrum (activates parietal cells)
Term
cephalic phase of digestion
Definition
HCl, pepsinogen and gastrin prep stomach. controlled by vagus
Term
early gastric phase
Definition
stretch receptors in stomach -> vagovagal reflex tells stomach to relax in respond to food, to receive more food. = receptive relaxation
Term
late gastric phase
Definition
antrum feels stretch and mixing begins
Term
intestinal phase of digestion
Definition
chyme arrives in duodenum, release of CCK
Term
CCK (4)
Definition
relaxes pancreatic sphincter (of Ode-eye), increases pancreatic secretions, makes gall bladder smooth muscle relax to secrete bile, contract pyloric sphincter to slow down gastric emptying so FAT can slowly be digested
