    Study Notes

    Digestion Overview

    • Digestion involves 4 basic processes: digestion, absorption, motility, and secretion
    • Involves the digestive tract (mouth to anus) and accessory organs (e.g., teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas)

    Gastric Motility and Secretion

    • Slowed down by CCK (released due to presence of fatty acids and amino acids) and enterogastric reflex (triggered by amino acids/peptides, acid, duodenal stretch, and hypertonicity)
    • Gastric secretion is regulated by:
      • Gastrin: stimulates acid and gastric enzyme secretion
      • Secretin: released due to acid, stimulates alkaline fluid secretion and reduces gastric secretion
      • CCK: released due to amino acids and fatty acids, stimulates pancreatic enzyme secretion, gallbladder contraction, and reduces gastric motility and secretion

    Hormone Summary

    • Gastrin: stimulates acid and gastric enzyme secretion
    • Secretin: stimulates alkaline fluid secretion and reduces gastric secretion
    • CCK: stimulates pancreatic enzyme secretion, gallbladder contraction, and reduces gastric motility and secretion

    Large Intestine Motility

    • Haustral contractions: slow and weak, allowing mixing and absorption of salts and water
    • Mass movements: powerful waves of contractions triggered by food in the stomach, moving fecal mass to the rectum
    • Rectal (defecation) reflex: stimulated by feces in the rectum, involving the sacral segment of the spinal cord and smooth muscle contractions

    Micelle Formation

    • Micelle: formed by bile salts and phospholipids, with a hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic exterior
    • Emulsification of lipid globules, lipase, and fatty acids + monoglycerides
    • Micelle diffuse into enterocyte, where fatty acids + monoglycerides are absorbed

    Gastric Motility/Secretion Regulatory Phases

    • Cephalic phase: prepares stomach for food, triggered by thought, sight, smell, and taste of food, stimulating enzymes and acid secretion
    • Gastric phase: food buffers pH, which slowly decreases, reaching 3 when the stomach is nearly empty, shutting down acid and enzyme secretion
    • Intestinal phase: regulates rate of chyme entry into duodenum, controlling acid neutralization, tonicity, and digestion and absorption in the small intestine
