  • Gastrin

    Gastrin is a hormone produced by G cells in the stomach that stimulates gastric acid secretion and supports stomach movement.

  • Glycogen storage locations

    Glycogen is stored mainly in the liver and skeletal muscles; liver glycogen maintains blood sugar, muscle glycogen fuels muscle contraction.

  • Energy sources during starvation

    During prolonged fasting, the body shifts from glycogen use to fat breakdown, ketone production, and some protein breakdown.

  • Fat-soluble vitamins and their functions

    Vitamins A (vision), D (calcium absorption), E (antioxidant), and K (clotting) are fat-soluble and support various body functions.

  • Layers of the alimentary canal

    From lumen outward: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, and serosa (or adventitia).

  • Regions of the stomach

    Stomach regions include cardia, fundus, body, and pyloric region.

  • Mechanical vs chemical digestion

    Mechanical digestion physically breaks food (chewing, churning); chemical digestion uses enzymes to split molecules.

  • Functions of the small intestine

    The small intestine digests and absorbs nutrients; it is the main site for nutrient absorption.

  • Tooth structure components

    Key parts: enamel (hard crown covering), dentin (calcified substance), pulp (nerves and vessels), cementum (root covering).

  • Blood supply to digestive organs

    Celiac trunk supplies foregut; superior mesenteric artery supplies most small intestine and proximal large intestine; inferior mesenteric artery supplies distal colon.

  • Gastric pit cell types and functions

    Parietal cells: HCl and intrinsic factor; chief cells: pepsinogen and gastric lipase; G cells: gastrin; mucous cells: protective mucus.

  • Portal triad components

    The portal triad includes a branch of the hepatic portal vein, a branch of the hepatic artery, and a bile ductule.

  • Lacteals in the small intestine

    Lacteals are lymph capillaries in villi that absorb dietary long-chain fats as chylomicrons.

  • Functions of accessory digestive organs

    Liver: bile production and nutrient processing; gallbladder: stores and releases bile; pancreas: secretes enzymes, bicarbonate, insulin, and glucagon.

  • Kupffer cells

    Kupffer cells are liver macrophages that remove bacteria, debris, and old blood cells from blood.

  • Bile composition and function

    Bile contains water, bile salts, phospholipids, cholesterol, electrolytes, and bilirubin; it emulsifies fats to aid absorption.

  • Special features of duodenum

    The duodenum receives chyme, bile, and pancreatic juice; Brunner glands secrete alkaline mucus to protect it.

  • Gluconeogenesis

    Formation of new glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors like lactate, glycerol, and amino acids, mainly in liver and kidneys.

  • Basal metabolic rate (BMR)

    BMR is the minimum energy needed to support vital functions at rest; influenced by muscle mass, body size, age, and thyroid hormones.

  • Heat stroke characteristics

    Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition with core temperature ≥104°F (40°C) and central nervous system impairment.

  • Types of heat transfer

    Heat transfer occurs via radiation (waves), conduction (contact), convection (moving air/water), and evaporation (sweat vaporization).

  • Lipoproteins: VLDL, LDL, HDL

    VLDL transports triglycerides; LDL delivers cholesterol to cells; HDL carries cholesterol back to liver.

  • Teeth types and functions

    Permanent teeth: 8 incisors (cut), 4 canines (tear), 8 premolars (crush), 12 molars (grind); formula per quadrant: 2-1-2-3.

  • Digestive enzymes and substrates

    Amylases digest starch; pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin digest proteins; lipases digest fats; maltase, sucrase, lactase digest disaccharides.

  • Pyloric sphincter function

    The pyloric sphincter regulates the release of stomach chyme into the duodenum in controlled amounts.

  • Phases of swallowing

    Buccal phase: voluntary bolus movement; pharyngeal phase: involuntary airway protection; esophageal phase: involuntary peristalsis to stomach.

  • Greater and lesser omentum

    Greater omentum: fatty fold from stomach over intestines; lesser omentum: connects liver to stomach and duodenum; both support viscera and carry vessels.

  • Mineral deficiency effects

    Iron: anemia; calcium: weak bones; potassium: weakness, arrhythmia; sodium: confusion/seizures; iodine: goiter; magnesium: neuromuscular issues; zinc: poor healing.

  • Functions of the liver

    The liver synthesizes bile, albumin, clotting proteins; metabolizes nutrients; processes bilirubin; detoxifies substances.

  • Capillary filtration pressures

    Hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid out of capillaries; plasma colloid osmotic pressure pulls fluid in, mainly due to albumin.
