- INHIBITS GASTRIC SECRETION
- STIMULATES AQUEOUS BICARBONATE SECRETION BY
PANCREAS - STIMULATES BICARBONATE RICH BILE SECRETION
BYLIVER
13CHOLECYSTOKININ
- ENDOCRINE CELLS IN DUODENAL MUCOSA
- FAT AND PROTEIN IN DUODENAL LUMEN
- INHIBITS GASTRIC EMPTYING
- INHIBITS GASTRIC SECRETION
- CAUSES GALL BLADDER CONTRACTION
- CAUSES RELAXATION OF THE SPHINCTER OF ODDI
- CONTRIBUTES TO SATIETY
14GASRTIC INHIBITORY PEPTIDE (GIP)
- STRUCTURALLY RELATED TO SECRETIN AND GLUCAGON
- INHIBITS GASTRIC ACIS SECRETION (PHARMACOLOGICAL
DOSES) - STIMULATES INSULIN RELEASE
15MOTILITY
- THE DIGESTIVE TRACT IS SURROUNDED BY LAYERS OF
SMOOTH MUSCLE - THESE MUSCLES ENABLE MIXING AND PROPULSIVE
MOVEMENT TO BE CARRIED OUT BY THE DIGESTIVE TRACT
16SECRETION
- DIGESTION REQUIRES THAT ENZYMES BE SECRETED BY
THE PANCREAS AND OTHER ORGANS - MUCOUS SECRETIONS PROTECT THE DIGESTIVE TRACT
- ACID IS SECRETED IN THE STOMACH
- THERE ARE OTHER SECRETIONS OF IMPORTANCE
17DIGESTION
- BREAKING DOWN COMPLEX FOODSTUFFS INTO ABSORBABLE
UNITS BY ENZYMES PRODUCED IN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - INVOLVES THE BREAKDOWN OF CARBOHYDRATES, PROTEINS
FATS, AND OTHER FOODS
18ABSORPTION
- ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS SUPPORT THIS ONE
- THIS IS HOW WE OBTAIN THE NECESSARY FUEL FOR OUR
CELLS
19ACCESSORY DIGESTIVE ORGANS
- SALIVARY GLANDS
- EXOCRINE PANCREAS
- BILLIARY SYSTEM (LIVER AND GALLBLADDER)
20CONTROL OF DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
External Influences
Local Influences
Receptors in Digestive Tract
Intrinsic Nerve Plexuses
Extrinsic Autonomic Nerves
GI Hormones
Smooth muscle Exocrine Gland Cells Endocrine
Gland Cells
21THE MOUTH
- INGESTION OF FOOD
- CHEWING AND SWALLOWING
- SALIVARY SECRETION
22CHEWING
- CHEWING IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE DIGESTIVE
PROCESS - FOOD IS MIXED WITH SALIVA AND BROKEN UP INTO
SMALLER PIECES - TASTE BUDS ARE STIMULATED
23SALIVARY SECRETION
- SALIVARY AMYLASE DIGESTS CARBOHYDRATE
- MOISTENING AND LUBRICATING AGENT
- ANTIBACTERIAL ACTION LYSOZYME AND RINSING
- SOLVENT FOR TASTE STIMULI
- SPEECH FACILITATION
- ORAL HYGENE
- BICARBONATE BUFFERS NEUTRALIZE ACIDS
24Swallowing
- A PROGRAMMED ALL-OR-NONE REFLEX
- CHEWING AND MOVING THE BOLUS OF FOOD BACK IS
MANLY VOLUNTARY (STRIATED MUSCLE) - PRESSURE OF BOLUS ON PHARYNX TRIGGERS INVOLUNTARY
REFLEX (SMOOTH MUSCLE) - TONGUE PREVENTS FOOD FROM MOVING BACK
- UVULA ELEVATED, SEALING NASAL PASSAGE
- LARYNX ELEVATES AND CLOSURE OF GLOTTIS
- RESPIRATION BRIEFLY INHIBITED
- PHARYNGEAL MUSCLES FORCE BOLUS BACK
- PERISTALTIC WAVES MOVE BOLUS THROUGH ESOPHAGUS
25PERISTALSIS
RINGLIKE CONTRACTION SWEEPS DOWN THE ESOPHAGUS
26THE STOMACH

27THE STOMACH
- MIXING AND STORAGE ORGAN
- HAS ITS OWN PACEMAKER SETS FREQUENCY OF RHYTHMIC
PERISTALTIC CONTRACTIONS - PERISTALSIS BECOMES STRONGER IN ANTRUM
- MOTILITY IS HIGHLY CONTROLLED
- NO ABSORPTION OF FOOD, ONLY ASPIRIN AND ALCOHOL
28FACTORS INFLUENCING GASTRIC MOTILITY
- DISTENSION OF STOMACH INCREASES
- FEEDBACK FROM THE SMALL INTESTINE DECREASES
- CONTROL FROM CNS
- GASTRIN INCREASES

32FACTORS CONTROLLING STOMAC EMPTYING
- GASTRIC MOTILITY
- ENTEROGASTRIC REFLEX VIA INTRINSIC AND AUTONOMIC

38THE GASTRIC MUCOSAL BARRIER
- PROTECTS THE CELLS FROM CONTENTS OF STOMACH
- LUMINAL MEMBRANES OF CELLS ARE IMPERMEABLE TO
PROTONS - CELLS ARE TIGHTLY ADJOINED
- RAPID TURNOVER
- IF BROKEN, PEPTIC ULCER MAY RESULT POSITIVE
FEEDBACK INVOLVING HISTAMINE
39GASTRIN SECRETION INHIBITION
- ACID IN ANTRUM
- REMOVAL OF PROTEIN AS STOMACH EMPTIES
