-Goblet cells: mucous
-Paneth Cells: secrete lysozomel capable of phagocytosis
|
segmentations
|
SI
-localized mixing contractions ---chyme
-mixes chyme with digestive juices
-brings food into contact with mucosa for absorption
-does not propel contents along GI tract
|
migrating motility complexes
|
-type of persistalsis
-starts at lower portion of stomach, pushes chyme forward a short stretch before dying out

|
CCL
|
stimulated by partial digested proteins, trigly, fatty acids in SI
-stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes and release of the bile induces satiety

|
Phases of Digestion (4)
|
interdigestive
cephalic
gastric
intestinal
|
Interdigestive
|
-tract is quiet
-low pH in stomach inhibits gastrin secretion and stimulates somatostatin secretion
-somatostain inhibits gastrin, secretin, CCK and HCl secretion
|
Cephalic
|
Initial influence=neural (ANS)
-senses thought actives cerebral cortex, hypothal, medulla
-Parasym impulse to GI tract via vagus nerve: secretion of pepsinogen, Hcl into chyme, gastrin into blood, increased stomach motitlty
-if increase Sns: inhibit GI activity
|
Gastric
|
intial influence=sensory receptors in stomach: stretch receptors stimulated when sotmach walls are distended
-chemoreceptors stim when pH rises
-PNS and ENS: increase peristalsis, gastric juice production, secretion of gastrin
-increase HCl secretion
|
gastrin secretion inhibited when
|
pH, 2.0
stimulated when pH rises
|
intestinal phase
|
initial influence:activation of receptors in small intestine: inhibt effect on stomach secretory and motility
-slows exist of chyme to prevent verload in duodenum
-secretion of secretin and CCK
|
reg of gastric empyting
|
reg by nervous system and endocrine system
stimulation of empyting: distension of stomach, partially digestion proteins, alcohol, caffience (increased gastrin secretion and PNS )
