Document Summary
Block 2 - lecture 2 - general gi anatomy (emphasis on. List principal organs of gi tract and list their functions. Comment on the physiological purpose of bicarbonate in pancreatic juice. Define zymogen and importance of zymogen production to the general process of digestion and pancreatic function. List the primary functions of the principal enzymes in pancreatic juice. Compare and contrast the distinguishing features of exocrine and endocrine glands. Draw a schematic representation of the pancreatic acinar epithelium. Indicate the several transport processes involved in the production of an isosmotic salt/water secretion. Discuss the influence each has on the secretory process. Draw a schematic of the pancreatic ductal epithelium. Indicate the various transport processes involved in the secretion of na+ and bicarbonate-rich fluid. Describe the influence each has on the secretory process. Endocrine --> secrete to the bloodstream: path traveled by food - digestion/absorption/excretion: a.
