Elderly male patient has stomach cancer and had a feeding tube into…

- - - - Liver: Main job is to filter blood coming from the digestive tract and secrete bile
        
        Esophagus: the passageway connecting the mouth and the stomach. made of skeletal muscle that leads into smooth muscle
        
        Gallbladder: Stores concentrated bile
        
        Stomach: bag-like organ that can hold up to two liters of food and is made of a fundus. body and antrum
        
        Spleen filters blood and is also apart of the immune system
        
        Pancreas: endocrine: endocrine secretions come from clusters of cells called islet cells and include the hormones insulin and glucagon. Exocrine: secretions include digestive enzymes and watery solutions of sodium bicarbonate

  - - - Absorption: converting food into molecules small enough to be absorbed by epithelial cells in the intestinal villi. Absorption of carbs and proteins occurs in the jejunum
        
        peristalsis: wave moments of nutrients and waste. This occurs throughout the intestines. This shifts back and forth mixing with digestive enzymes and fluids
  - - - HCL: from parietal cells, used for the digestion of proteins and fats. Used for the absorption of lipid-soluble substances such as alcohol and aspirin. Used for motility: peristaltic mixing and propulsion
        
        pepsinogen: stomach secretion form chief cells used for protein and fat digestion. Absorption of lipid-soluble substances such as alcohol and aspirin. Mobility: peristalsis mixing and propulsion
        
        Gastrin: from G cells, stimulus is peptides and amino acids, neural reflex. Primary target: ECL cells and parietal cells. Primary Effect: stimulates gastric acid secretion and mucosal growth
        
        bile from the liver and stored in the gallbladder. digestion of polypeptides, carbohydrates, fats and nucleic acids. Absorption of amino acids and small peptides. monosaccharides, fatty acids, monoglycerides, cholesterol, nitrogenous bases, water, ions, minerals and vitamins
        
        pancreatic juices: contain enzymes that help to digest food in the small intestine
      - mucus cells: secrete mucus. It is used to moisten food and to keep oral membranes moist since they are in direct contact with the external air/environment
        
        chief cells: cells in the stomach that release pepsinogen and chymosin (digestive enzymes)
        
        parietal cells: produce gastric acid in response to histamine, Ach, and gastrin
        
        G cells responsible for secretion of gastrin. Found in pyloric antrum and can be found in the duodenum and pancreas.
        
        bile duct: where common hepatic duct and cystic duct join. Its role is to transport bile from the gallbladder and empty into the upper portion of the small intestine
        
        pancreatic duct: supplies pancreatic juices from exocrine pancreas
        
        basic nutrients need by the human body: fats, proteins, water, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals, minerals
        
        there substances are essential for growth, development, maintenance, repair, and reproduction
        
        the digestion of nutrients makes it possible for cells to make chemical energy from the food.
        
        the food we eat has chemical energy and this energy (ATP) is critical for daily life and development .
- - - - what factors are upstream issues that should be considered for this patient: the use of a feeding tube can also be associated with diarrhea, abdominal bloating, aspirations, nausea and metabolic problems.This can also potentially cause infection to the abdomen as well as displacements or obstructions. There can be complications when administering medications if administrators via jejunostomy tube.
