Term
What is the challenge of the digestive system? The solution?
Definition
problem- cells need nourishment in the form of simple molecules, but food we eat is more complex... need to break down

Definition
D
Term
How does swallowing reflex work?
Definition
soft palate moves up to cover nasal passage, epiglottis moves down to cover glottis and windpipe

Term
Which layer of the GI tract contains areolar connective tissue, contains blood vessels and lymphatic ducts, nerves
Definition
submucosa
Term
Which layer of the GI tract contains circular and longitudinal layers?
Definition
muscularis
Term
peristalsis
Definition
movement of food through GI tract due to rhythmic contraction of muscles

A. contains glands outside and inside
B. have circular and longitudinal muscles
C. contains blood vessels
D. myenteric plexus determines if glands release enzymes into lumen
E. held in place by a mesentary
Definition
D. myenteric determines if muscles contract, submucosal determines if glands release enzymes

Definition
B. the bolus moves actively through peristalsis
Term
hiatus
Definition
when food passes through, it is in the abdominal cavity
Term
rugae
Definition
folds of stomach
Term
sphincter
Definition
ring of muscle, normally closed

B. pepsinogen becomes active pepsin in the stomach
C. goblet cells pepsinogen
D. chief cells secrete HCl
E. parietal cells secrete mucus
Definition
B.
it makes 2L of secretions, goblet cells secrete mucus, parietal cells secrete HCl, chief cells secrete pepsinogen
Term
