–Answer

  • Digestive System
  • –Answer disassembly line breaking down nutrients into smaller com- ponents to be distributed to the tissues aka –Answer organ system that processes food, extracts nutrients, and eliminates residue

  • Gastroenterology
  • –Answer the study of the digestive tract and the diagnosis and treat- ment of its disorders

  • Digestion
  • –Answer refers to the process of swallowing food and requires the coordination of 22 muscles and cranial nerves V, VII, IX, and XII

  • Stages of Digestion
  • –Answer > Ingestion = selective intake of food > Secretion = the introduction of enzymes and other glandular products > Motility = the movement of food and mixing it with secretions > Digestion = mechanical and chemical breakdown of food into a form usable by the body > Absorption = uptake of nutrient molecules into the epithelial cells of the digestive tract and then into the blood and lymph (90% done by small intestines) > Compaction = absorbing water and consolidating the indigestible residue into feces Defecation –Answer 1 / 3

elimination of feces

  • Types of Digestion
  • –Answer > mechanical = physical breakdown of food into smaller particles (ex –Answer grinding of the teeth, churning of stomach/small intestines, exposes more food to surface to digestive enzymes) > chemical digestion = a series of hydrolysis (bind water to molecules for binding based on our needs to support digestion) reactions that breaks dietary macromol- ecules into their monomers; residues (ex –Answer digestive enzymes produced by salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine)

  • Types of Motility
  • –Answer > Peristalsis = consists of the contraction and relaxation of the longitudinal muscularis layer of the GI tract to push contents forward.> Mixing waves = a specialized type of peristaltic movement that mixes food with digestive enzymes in the stomach.> Segmentation = consists of the contraction and relaxation of the circular muscu- laris layer of the GI tract to separate the contents of the GI tract in order to maximize absorption.> Haustral churning = slow segmenting movements in the large intestine to aid in absorption and compaction of feces.

> Mass movement = a unique type f motility only found in the large intestine that provides large peristaltic contractions to rapidly drive contents into the rectum.

  • Chemical Digestion
  • –Answer > Polysaccharides into monosaccharides > Proteins into amino acids > Fats into monoglycerides and fatty acids > Nucleic acids into nucleotides 2 / 3

(ex; direct absorption and do not need to be further digested –Answer Vitamins, amino acids, minerals, cholesterol, and water)

  • Digestive Subdivisions
  • –Answer > digestive tract (alimentary canal) = muscular tube open to environment at both ends from mouth to anus (Mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine; GI tract = stomach and intestines taking different shape for the function of storage for absorption) > accessory organs = Teeth, tongue (guide food), salivary glands, liver (largest; clears out toxins), gallbladder (digesting fat and stores bile as it's made by the liver), and pancreas (produces enzymes)

  • Liver
  • –Answer Functions –Answer > Carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism > Processing of drugs and hormones > Bilirubin excretion > Bile salt synthesis > Storage of triglycerides > Phagocytosis > Vitamin D activation > Synthesis of clotting factors

  • Digestive Tract Wall
  • –Answer Layers –Answer > Mucosa = lines lumen; epithelium (sim- ple columnar-more secretion for acid/enzymes + stratified squamous from mouth-esophagus and lower anal canal since not completely digested), lamina propria (loose connective tissue), muscularis mucosal (thin layer of smooth muscle; tenses = grooves enhancing surface area for contact with food towards nutrient absorption)
