What are the four layers of the GI tract |
1) Mucosa 2) Submucosa 3) Muscularis Externa - smooth muscle 4) Serosa - visceral peritonium |
|
What enzyme is found in saliva and what does it chemically digest |
- Salivary amylase - Chemically digests carbohydrates |
|
What are the glands that make gastric juice |
Gastric Glands: - mucous - parietal - chief - enteroendocrine |
|
What do mucous cells secrete |
Thick alkaline HCO -3 |
|
What do parietal cells secrete |
HCL and Intrisic factor |
|
What do chief cells secrete |
Pepsinogen and gastric lipase |
|
What do enteroendocrine cells secrete |
hormones |
|
What is the significance of the muscous + bicarb layer in the stomach |
The mucous layer has thick mucous and lots of bicarbonate that nuetralizes the acid and protects the lining of the stomach from the acid juices |
|
What enzymes are secreted by the small intestine |
Enterokinase - actives trypsin in pancrease |
|
What hormones are secreted by the small intestine |
Intestinal hormones: - CCK or cholecystokinin - Secretin |
|
What is found on top of the villi in the small intestine |
- blood vessels and lacteal - Brush border enzymes: - Peptidases (proteins) - disaccharidases (carbs) - nucleosidases(nucleic acids) |
|
What is the difference between the acinarcells and the duct cells of the pancreas?
|
Acinarcellssecrete enzymes into duodenum to aid in chemical digestion
Ductcellssecretes bicarbonate (HCO3-)into duodeum toaid in neutralizing acidic chyme |

|
What type of cells make up the liver?
Whatdo those cells produce? |
hepatocytes
- makes bile |

|
|
What makes up the portal triad?
|
Arteriole(Hepatic artery branch)
Venule(Hepatic portal vein branch) Bileduct (transports bile) |
|
