GI Tract and Homeostasis-help transfer sources of energy (nutrients, water, electrolytes) into the body nutrients used to create energy for the body to useThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.-body does not change its absorptive capacity if you increase intake, no effect on what gets absorbed body will take the nutrients it need despite how much you put in-GI tract is mainly smooth muscle Interstitial Cells of Cajal: cells that generate slow-waves II. Anatomy-Tract mouth pharynx esophagus-Accessory Organs stomach small intestine large intestine: colon, cecum, rectum anus-Accessory Glands sublingual (under tongue) + submandibular (under jaw) salivary glands parotid salivary gland liver/gallbladder pancreasIII. Function of the Digestive System-Four Processes to Digest food and Absorb Nutrients into the Blood1. Motility2. Secretion3. Digestion4. AbsorptionIV. Wall of the GI Tube-mucosa: absorption and secretion of fluids-villa: increases surface area of mucosa; finger-like structure-submucosa: small blood vessels; connective tissue; houses vessels-muscularis externa outer longitudinal muscle: shorten length of whole tube inner circular muscle: gets food inside body to outside body-myenteric plexus: control of muscular system; nerve network-submucosal plexus: in submucosa; nerve network -serosa: pushing on other parts; lubricationV. Differences in the Gut Wall-Different tubes specialize in different tasks-stomach has extra muscle layer-colon: flat; not much reabsorptionVI. Hepatic Portal Systemhelps withmotility-liver: processes, stores, and detoxifies; modifies ingested drugsTylenol scenario: not good because stuff is stored in liverVII. Motility-Regulated process: movement and mixing off contents through muscular contractions-2 types propulsive (peristaltic)o moves food through GI tract (different parts have different rates) mixing (segmentation)o food mixed with digestive juice and helps absorptionVIII. Secretion-release of water, electrolytes, , enzymes, and mucus into the gut-Endocrine: internal (in the wall of lumen, goblet cells)-Exocrine: external glands/organs (pancreas, liver, salivary)IX. Digestion-the chemical and mechanical breakdown of ingested material into absorbable molecules (glucose)-enzymes usually do this (but gastric acids help)-digestion is NOT regulated, but secretion IS regulatedX. Absorption-movement of products (gut lumen mucosa of the gut wall into the BLOOD-NOT directly regulatedXI. Regulation Stimuli-Luminal stimuli distention of gut wall chyme osmolarity (solute concentration) chyme acidity specific digestive products in the chyme-Brain/CNS sight, thought, smell of food (Ex: t.v. commercials) may affect emotional stateXII. Stimuli + Receptors-Chemical/molecules Chemoreceptors -Pressure/stretch/brush Mechanoreceptors-Osmolarity/concentration
