New cards

villi and microvilli absorb water soluble digestive nutrients into…

blood

2
New cards

villi and microvilli absorb lipids into …

lacteals as chylomicrons and vitamin B12

3
New cards

what gets absorbed into blood by the villi and microvilli

water soluble digestive nutrients

4
New cards

what is the route blood carrying nutrients take and what is allowed to happen through this process

small intestine

through hepatic portal duct

to liver

deamination of liver enzymes

5
New cards

what are the three liver enzymes that are deaminated

ammonia into urea

metabolized consumed toxins

store glucose as glycogen

6
New cards

the variform appendix projects from…

cecum

7
New cards

located at junction of large and small appendix

cecum

8
New cards

waste form small intestine is exposed to BLANK BLANK in colon

bacterial fermentation

9
New cards

hormones in digestion: induces hunger

ghrelin

10
New cards

hormones in digestion: sensation of satiety

leptin

11
New cards

hormones in digestion: induces cellular uptake of glucose

more glucose in cell = lower blood glucose level

insulin

12
New cards

hormones in digestion: stimulates breakdown of stored glycogen

glucagon

13
New cards

hormones in digestion: stimulates liver cells to convert hepatic glycogen stores into glucose and release glucose into blood

glucagon

14
New cards

describe what glucagon does

stimulates liver cells to convert hepatic glycogen stores into glucose and release glucose into blood

15
New cards

enzymes in digestion: digestion of protein

pepsin

16
New cards

pepsin is activated by

hypochloric acid

17
New cards

contains chemicals that aid in digestion but is NOT an enzyme

bile

18
New cards

what makes bile

liver

19
New cards

what stores bile

gallbladder

20
New cards

where is bile released

small intestine

21
New cards

what does bile do

emulsify fat

22
New cards

what emulsifies fat

bile

23
New cards

hormones in digestion: raises blood glucose levels

glucagon

24
New cards

hormones in digestion: found in alpha cells of pancreas

glucagon

25
New cards

hormones in digestion: essential for maintaining fuel balance

glucagon

26
New cards

hormones in digestion: active especially with males during exercize

glucagon

27
New cards

hormones in digestion:lower blood sugar levels

insulin

28
New cards

hormones in digestion: promotes synthesis of fats in adipose tissue

insulin

29
New cards

hormones in digestion: stimulate liver and muscle cells to store glucose as glycogen

insulin

30
New cards

hormones in digestion: found in S cells of duodenum

secretin

31
New cards

regulates pH in duodenum

secretin

32
New cards

how does secretin regulate ph in duodenum

inhibit gastric acid secretion

stimulating bicarbonate production

33
New cards

what neutralizes acid in chyme

bicarbonate

34
New cards

where does bicarbonate come from

pancreas

35
New cards

hormones in digestion: found in I cells in mucus lining of duodenum and jejunum

cholecystokinin

36
New cards

cholecystokinin aids in

digesting fats and proteins

stimulating gallbladder to release bile

37
New cards

hormones in digestion: gastrin is found in

G cells of stomach lining

38
New cards

hormones in digestion: stimulate gastric glands to secrete pepsinogen and HCL

gastrin

39
New cards

hormones in digestion: gastrin stimulates the release of

pepsinogen

HCL

40
New cards

what is the precursor for pepsin

pepsinogen

41
New cards

hormones in digestion: aids in protein digestion, released when eating high protein

HCL

42
New cards

accessory organs: largest internal organ

liver

43
New cards

accessory organs: crucial for metabolism of carbs and proteins

liver

44
New cards

accessory organs: produces bile which is essential for lipid breakdown

liver

45
New cards

accessory organs: produces juices that contain enzymes that neutralize acidic chyme

pancreas
