There are two different sphincters at the end of the large intestines known as the
anal sphincter which controls expulsions of fecal matter from the body. The two
sphincters are called: - ANSWER-internal and external sphincters (they control the
elimination process); external is controlled heavily which leads to the final
elimination in the body
Pancreatic juices: - ANSWER-contain bicarb that neutralizes the acid from the
stomach and help to protect the small intestine
A problem that can be found in the GI tract where weak spots in the colon that
result in the formation of small pouches: - ANSWER-diverticulosis
A problem that can be found in the GI tract where a burning sensation happens in
the esophagus: - ANSWER-heart burn
,A problem that can be found in the GI tract where a burning sensation in the
stomach or small intestine following a meal is known as: - ANSWER-an ulcer
A problem that can be found in the GI tract where the disease is not well
understood but causes bloating and abdominal pain: - ANSWER-irritable bowel
syndrome
A problem that can be found in the GI tract where hard stools related to a slow
fiber diet is known as: - ANSWER-constipation
Heartburn: - ANSWER-it is a burning sensation of stomach acid coming back
through the esophagus
If a person experiences heartburn several times a week the they are diagnosed with:
- ANSWER-GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux)
What is the primary cause of GERD: - ANSWER-it is related to the esophageal
sphincter where instead of closing and not allowing the stomach contents to back
up into the esophagus, the sphincter is weak and relaxed
Heartburn is also known as: - ANSWER-acid reflux
How to treat GERD: - ANSWER-you eat smaller meals that are low in fat,
chewing foods well, avoid overeating, and limiting intake of coffee, tea, alcohol,
and certain spices...lastly you want to wait two hours before lying down and going
to sleep
Constipation: - ANSWER-is a result of dry hard fecal stools calcium and iron are
medications known to cause it When talking about digestion, we're talking about: -
, ANSWER-the process of transforming food into basic nutrients and those nutrients
can then be absorbed across the wall of the Go tract into the bloodstream
There are six nutrients. What are they and what do they do: - ANSWER-they are
vitamins, minerals, carbs, protein, fats, and water; its role is to fuel cell growth,
aide in immune response by fighting of infections, and they are an energy source to
our muscles and brain in order to perform daily functions
The innermost layer of the GI tract: - ANSWER-the intestinal wall/mucosa made
up of different absorptive cells and glands
Layers of the GI tract and job: - ANSWER-other layers are comprised of circular
and longitudinal muscles
---the longitudinal muscles job is to mix the food and move it along the GI tract
---circular bands act as valves to control the flow of the food particles throughout
the tract
What are the organs apart of the digestive process and the role they play: -
ANSWER-the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas' its role is to aide in
chemical and mechanical processes of digestion, absorption, and elimination
Mechanical process of digestion is known as the physical process: - ANSWER-
includes the teeth and tongue known as chewing; it also includes peristalsis
Peristalsis: - ANSWER-are muscular contractions that help to move the food
mixture along the GI tract for digestion and absorption to occur
The chemical process of digestion: - ANSWER-is used to secrete different
enzymes to help breakdown the food into smaller amounts in order for the
digestion and absorption to occur
