    Study Notes

    Digestive System Overview

    • Goblet cells are not present in gastric glands, which primarily have parietal and chief cells.
    • Digestive enzymes can digest each other, allowing amino acids to be absorbed and reused efficiently.

    Gastric and Intestinal Phases

    • The enterogastric reflex regulates the intestinal phase of gastric activity, inhibiting gastric motility when chyme is present in the small intestine.
    • The stomach secretes gastrin when its internal pH rises, stimulating gastric acid production.

    Nutrient Absorption

    • Blood capillaries in the villus absorb nutrients, but cholesterol is absorbed by lymphatic vessels called lacteals.
    • Triglycerides are primarily taken up by lacteals in the small intestine for lipid absorption.
    • Solvent drag aids in glucose absorption alongside active transport.

    Digestive Enzymes and Hormones

    • Enterokinase does not digest nutrients; it activates digestive enzymes.
    • Pancreatic amylase cannot reach the small intestine via the cystic duct; it travels through the main pancreatic duct.
    • Secretin, produced in the small intestine, assists in regulating gastric secretion in response to acidic chyme.

    Anatomy of the Digestive Tract

    • The layers of the digestive tract from lumen to the external surface are: lamina propria, muscularis mucosae, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa.
    • The submucosa contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, a nerve plexus, and may include glands for lubrication.
    • The liver has a unique structure with lobules composed of hepatocytes, sinusoids, and central veins for blood filtration.

    Digestion Processes

    • Pepsin digests proteins into peptides, functioning best in acidic conditions.
    • The small intestine is primarily responsible for water absorption and nutrient digestion.
    • Bile salts, found in bile, have a crucial role in lipid emulsification.

    Unique Features and Reflexes

    • The swallowing center located in the brainstem coordinates the process of deglutition (swallowing).
    • The gastroileal reflex relaxes the ileocecal valve when the stomach is full, allowing material passage to the large intestine.

    Teeth and Oral Function

    • The dental formula 2-1-2-3 indicates the number of each type of tooth, with "1" standing for the canine.
    • Deciduous teeth are the first to appear in infants, followed by permanent teeth later in life.

    Various Digestive Actions

    • Mass movements in the colon propel food residue several times a day, indicating the efficiency of this segment in waste elimination.
    • The presence of gap junctions in smooth muscle allows coordinated contraction in hollow organs.

    General Functions

    • The primary physiological function of the large intestine is to absorb water and eliminate feces.
    • The liver plays a critical role in bile secretion under the influence of hormones like secretin, facilitating fat digestion in the small intestine.

    Myths and Facts

    • The small intestine in a living person is longer than in a cadaver due to muscle tone, countering the misconception of postmortem shrinkage.
    • Despite being well-protected by mucus, the stomach's epithelial cells have a short lifespan of three to six days due to constant wear from digestive processes.
