DIGESTIVE SYSTEMDIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Through stomach

Overall Digestive ProcessOverall Digestive Process

IngestionMovementDigestion (mechanical & chemical)Absorption (into blood/lymph vessels)Elimination = Defecation

GI OrganizationGI Organization

Digestive tract = canal Gastrointestinal tractAlimentary canalAccessory Structures – outside of the tract

Microstructure - generalMicrostructure - general

Mucosa– Mucous membrane– May have villi and microvilli

Submucosa– Very vascular

MuscularisSerosa = Visceral Peritoneum

Folds of PeritoneumFolds of Peritoneum

Binds organs together, anchors them, suspends vessels

HiatusSphinctersFunction

– Peristalsis– Heartburn is actually esophageal “burn”

Stomach (gastric)Stomach (gastric)

Anatomy– Cardia– Fundus– Body– Pylorus and Pyloric Sphincter– Greater Curvature– Lesser Curvature

Digestion in StomachDigestion in Stomach

Stores foodChymeMotility, Mixing & EmptyingPeristalsisTo Pyloric Sphincter, to DuodenumPacemaker cells make smooth muscle

contract about 3x/minute when food present

Controls of Stomach MotilityControls of Stomach Motility

2-6 hours to emptyControls include volume & distentionGASTRIN

– Hormone released by pyloric cells in response to distention. Stimulates gastric motility.

– Caffeine stimulates gastrin release

Controls of Stomach MotilityControls of Stomach Motility

ENTEROGASTRIC REFLEX– As duodenum distends, it inhibits gastric

motility

SECRETINCHOLECYSTOKININGASTRIC INIHIBITORY PEPTIDE

Gastric SecretionGastric Secretion

“Juice”Zymogenic Cells make PepsinogenParietal Cells make HCl

– Alkaline blood following a meal

Mucus Cells make protective mucus
