polypeptide/protein = polymer
regulation of digestion: endocrine
triglyceride (lipid) = polymer
stomach
accessory organs: ​the pancreas
small intestine
nutrient absorption and processing
glucose = monomer
lipogenesis requires
​essential fatty acids
IBS
one glucose (6C) broken down
2 pyruvates produced (3C each)
cephalic phase: vagus nerve stimulates gastric secretions in anticipation of eating.
enzymatic digestion of polymers
digestion starts with saliva and mastication
regulation of digestion: neural
absorbtion of nutrients
the goal of cellular respiration is to produce ATP
Digestive System
​parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems
thought, sight, smell, of food; distension of stomach, chemoreceptors, pH leads to release of secretions to prep stomach for food
sympathetic shuts off digestion...parasympathetic activates it
urea
digestive "juices"
swallowing
glycogenolysis = liberation of glucose from a polysaccharide (glycogen)
gluconeogenesis = production of glucose from non-glucose sources like amino acids and fats
review question:
what is the enteric nervous system?
what's Peristalsis
​CCK = cholecystokinin
​hormone secreted by the small intestinal that stimulates the release of bile by the gall bladder/liver and the release of pancreatic juices by pancreas.
amino acids = monomers
gastric phase:
​food stretching the stomach stimulates acid and enzyme secrretions
Hydrogen's electron completes a series of redox rx. energy from these reactions
is used to generate ATP.
last reaction is H + O to form water
Welcome to Dr. Kate Kraus Brilakis' Learning Portal
lactose intolerance
starch = polysaccharide = polymer
sphincters
step 3:
​electron ​ transport chain
two main functions:
blood sugar regulation: acts as
an endocrine gland by producing
insulin/glucagon hormones
digestion: acts as an exocrine gland producing enzymes for digestion
review question:
nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream in the ____ intestine.
2 pyruvates (3C each)
​broken down
6CO2 produced
H carried to next step
energy released from breaking the bonds between the atoms that make up glucose is transferred to the bonds that
​convert ADP to ATP
cellular respiration
catabolizes glucose and anabolizes ATP
protein digestion
​releases amino acids including 7 essential aa. All 20 amino acids are used to synthesize new proteins.
​when aas are catabolized, urea is released.
deamination
review question:
explain how your body makes sure that the material absorbed by your small intestine into your intestinal capillaries doesn't send toxins and pathogens into circulation.
accessory organs:
the liver
large intestine
review question:
​What are the four functions of the digestive system?
monomer
review question:
​why is the histology of the esophagus different from that of the small intestine?
gluten intolerance/
​celiac disease
Glucose for cellular respiration comes from sugars and starches you eat AND can be made from other sources when glucose is not available.
review question:
if you smell an amazing bakery, why does your mouth water and stomach start secreting juices?
intestinal phase:
gastric activity inhibited as duodenum processes chyme.
review question:
what is peristalsis?
polymer
monomers are used to build polymers...
polymers are broken down into monomers
lipid metabolism
​Secretin
hormone that stimulates the ​pancreas and bile ducts to release bicarbonates to neutralize the HCl
step 2:
​kerb cycle
review question:
your pancreas is both an endocrine and exocrine gland. how?
review question:
how does the endocrine system control digestion?
esophagus
protein synthesis requires
​essential amino acids
stomach action
top to bottom...
diverticulitis
gut/brain connection
movement of monomers into circulation
gastrin:
hormone produced by the stomach which stimulates the secretion of gastric acid (HCl)
100 million neurons!
review question:
what is the purpose of gastric "juices"?
review question:
​the membrane which covers the viscera (guts) are called ___ while the membranes that line the peritoneal cavity are called ___.
review question:
what role does the pyloric sphincter play in digestion?
The sphincter of Oddi is a muscular valve that controls the
secretions from the bile duct and pancreatic duct into small intestine. This sphincter opens when food is present.
step 1:
​glycolysis
vitamins
intestinal secretions contain
antimicrobials that can regulate the composition of our intestinal flora.
phases of digestion
review question:
sphincters control the movement of materials from one area to the next.
why would this be necessary?
Digestive System
Histology
review question:
what is the link between your parasympathetic nervous system and pooping...ok, its officially called defecation.
crohn's disease
Digestive System
Membranes
glycerol and fatty acids = monomers
gut microbiome imbalance
review question:
​what role does saliva play in digestion?
stomach ulcers
digestive system pathology
there are 13 recognized vitamins defined as an organic compound required but not synthesized by an organism
GIP = gastric inhibitory polypeptide
hormone secreted by intestine that stops the secretion of stomach HCl.
hepatocytes = liver cells
Over the lips through the gums look out stomach here it comes...
the vagus nerve: cranial nerve X
lipids and cholesterol
