    Hormonal Regulation01:40

    Hormonal Regulation

    Hormones regulate a significant portion of digestion through activation of the neuroendocrine system. The neuroendocrine system of digestion contains many different hormones all with multiple functions that are both, directly and indirectly, involved in digestion.
    Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells01:23

    Renewal of Intestinal Stem Cells

    The intestinal epithelial lining rapidly renews every 4 to 5 days. The renewal is facilitated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs) located at the base of the crypt– a gland located at the bottom of each villus. ISCs divide asymmetrically to form new stem cells and progenitor daughter cells. The daughter cells are called transit-amplifying (TA) cells which move upwards along the crypt and either differentiate into absorptive cells– the enterocytes or secretory cells– including the goblet,...
    Regulation of the Digestive System01:25

    Regulation of the Digestive System

    Digestive activity regulation hinges on three primary components. Activation is prompted by a multitude of mechanical and chemical indicators, primarily detected by receptors within the stomach and intestines' walls. These receptors predominantly respond to factors such as mechanical stretching of the organ walls, changes in pH and osmolarity, and the presence of digesting materials and their by-products.
    The effectors in this regulation system are glands and smooth muscles. Activation of these...

    Hormones Secreted by the Stomach

    Enteroendocrine cells, accounting for only 1% of stomach epithelial cells, play a significant role in digestion and are classified by their digestive hormone secretions.
    Each of these hormones secreted by different enteroendocrine cells plays a unique role in digestion. Here are a few examples:
    Intestinal Phase of Digestion01:29

    Intestinal Phase of Digestion

    The intestinal phase of digestion is the third and final stage of the digestive process, occurring after the cephalic and gastric phases. It begins when chyme, a partially digested mixture of food and digestive enzymes, enters the small intestine from the stomach. This phase is crucial for nutrient absorption and involves complex hormonal and enzymatic interactions.
    The arrival of the chyme in the small intestine distends the duodenum, which triggers the enterogastric reflex. This distension...
    Histology of the Small Intestine01:27

    Histology of the Small Intestine

    The small intestine exhibits a unique histological structure that significantly enhances its function in digestion and nutrient absorption. These structures include circular folds, villi, and various specialized cells that collectively facilitate the digestion of food.
    The intestinal lining features transverse folds called circular folds, each housing fingerlike projections known as intestinal villi. These villi are covered by a layer of simple columnar epithelium, also referred to as...
