Okay, here is the converted text from the images you sent, formatted in Markdown. I have done my best to preserve the original content, formatting and handwriting style feel. I have also attempted to interpret unclear sections. ## Page 1 **GLOSSARY** * **Absorption** - digestive process that occurs when small molecules, vitamins, & minerals pass through the walls of small & large intestine & into the bloodstream. * **Amylase** - enzyme aids digestion of starch * **Anus** - last section of GI track, rid of waste * **Chime** - mixture of food with saliva, salivary enzymes & gastric secretions * **Digestion** - digestive process occurs when digestive enzymes e secretions mixed with ingested food & when proteins, fats & sugars are broken down into smaller molecule * **Dyspepsia** - aka indigestion, upper abdominal discomfort * **Elimination** - digestive process when waste product evacuated from the body * **Ingestion** - phase of digestive process when food is taken into GI track via mouth & esophagus. * **Intrinsic factor** - gastric secretion that contains with vit 12 so that vitamin can be restored. * **Lipase** - enzyme aids digestion of fat * **Microbiome** - collective genome of all microbes in a microbiota * **Microbiota** - the complement of microbes in a given environment * **Trypsin** - enzyme aids in digestion of protein **ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGIC OVERVIEW** * GI track pathway = 7 to 7.9km (23-24 ft) * Esophagus = 25 um (to inches) in * Diaphragmatic hiatus - opening at diaphragm * Stomach = 1500 ml capacity (approximately) A diagram of the stomach is included. The diagram labels the **Cardio**, **Fundus**, **Body**, and **Pylorus**. The **Cardio** term is connected to a "V". * Small intestine - largest segment 2/3 length, 70 m, absorption * duodenum - proximal * jejunum - middle * ideum - distal * Large intestine * ascending transverse descending ? * Anus, rectum & sigmoid colm * five large veins: superior intestine, inferior intestine, gastric, splenic, cystic veins vena protae enters the liver then terminate in inferior vena cava in inferior vena cava blood flow to the GI track is abret 20% of the total CO & significantly after eating. Major functions of the GI track that are included below: * breakdown of frod particles into mollecular form of digestion * Absorption into the bloodstream of small nutrient molecules produced by digestion * Elimination of undigested unabsorbed foodstaffs & other waste products. **Gastric Function** * 2-4 L\\d = pH, derives from HCI * function breakdown freed into more absorbable components. * aids in destruction of bacteria * Absence of intrinsic factor - pernicima anemia * Hormones, deuroregulators, and local regulation control that rate of gastric secretions **Small Intestine Function** * duodenal secretions are from the PANCREAS, LIVER & GALUBI-ADDER * pancreatic secretions have ALKALINE pH due to high concentration of bicarbonate * Bile secreted by the liver and stored in gallbladder: emulsifying ingested fats * sphincter of oddi -controls flow of bile * Intestinal secretions ( 1 L/d of pancreatic juice, 0.5L/d of bile, & 3L/d of glands of small intestines * 2 types of contractions * Segmentation contraction - produce mixing waves that move intestinal contents back and forth in a churning motion * Intestinal (contraction) peristalsis-propels contents of SIVECO ## Page 2 A diagram of the back and front of the stomach. The posterior diagram labels **pancreatitis** and **perforated durdenal ulcer**. Underneath, another section of the stomach is drawn and labelled as **“Assessment of the GI system #2”** Number 1 nursing consideration for pt. undergoing colonoscopy: 1.

Antacids. * H2 Blocker * -proton pump Inhibitor’s * NEV * Berching Heartburn * Abd. pain & discomfort * Feeling full easily * easily bloated **Intestinal gas** * Brating, distension, or feeling "full of gas" with excessive flatulence as a symptom of food intolerance or gallbladder disease **Nausea & Vomitting** * Names a vague, uncomfortable sensation of sickness or "queasiness" that may or may not followed by vomitting. **Change in bowel habits and stool characteristics** *May Signal Colonic dysfunction or disease Constipation Diarrhea Past health, family and social history Oral care oral cavity lips gums VECO ## Page 3 * Les cortos disaccharriades (sucrose, matiiuse, galactose), mmosaccharides (glucose, fructose); Glucose-major carbs (food) * proteins - source of Energy after they're broken down is chyme stays sil 7-ihr * Vill- fingers like produces digestive enzymes & absorbs nutrients * Absorption- major function; begins in jejunum thru active transport & diffusion. * nutrients - absorbed in quodenum * jejunum fats, proteins, carbs, Na, Cl * ileum - Vit B12; bile * Colmic Functim * gut microbes (bacteria): major component of contents of 61 (large intestine) * 2 types of colonic secretions; electrolyte solutio & mucus **waste products of bigestim** * Fecal matter : 75% fluid; 25% Solid material * 61 has 150 ml of gases * Elimination of stool begins with distention of rectum. **Gut microbiome** * protect against pathogens, regulatory influences in innate and adaptive immune responses, and inflammation * colonization of 61 tract begins shortly after birth. **ASSESSMENT OF GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM** **Age Related changes in Gastrointestinal system.** **Structural changes** * ***Oral Cavity and pharynx*** * Injury / loss/decay of teeth. * Atrophy of taste buds * saliva production * reduced Ptyalin & amylase in saliv * **Implication** * Difficulty chewing & swallow Structural Changes * ***Esophagus*** * motility & emptying * weakened gag reflex * resting pressure of lower esophageal sphincter. * ***Implication*** * Reflux & heartburn Structural Changes * **Stomach** * Degeneration & atrophy of gastric mucosal surfaces with production of ta * secretions of gastric acids * gastric motility and emptying * ***Implication*** * Food intolerance, malabsorption, & vit.
