Q

saliva contains

A

mucus (a mixture of water, salts, and slippery carbohydrate- protein complex) which protects the soft lining of the mouth and lubricates food

Q

Heimlich maneuver

A

forceful elevation of the diaphragm

19
Q

gastric juice

A

made up of a protein-digesting enzyme (pepsinogen), mucus (protects stomach from acid and pepsin), and strong acid

20
Q

HCl

A

converts pepsonpgen in to pepsin

20
Q

gastric clands have three types of cells

A
  • secrete different component of gastric juice
  • mucous cells: secrete mucusàlubricant and protection - parietal cell: secrete hydrogen and chloride ions
  • chief cell: secrete pepsinogen
20
Q

chyme

A

what’s left after digestion in stomach

21
Q

bile

22
duodenum
dvylikapirštė žarna
23
gallbladder
tulžies pūslė
24
pancreatic juice
produced from pancreas a mixture of digestive enzymes alkaline solution which can neutralize the acidic chyme
25
bile
made in the liver and is stored in the gallbladder contains bile salts which break fats into small droplets
26
carbohydrates
maltose -> maltaze/sucrase
27
proteins
trypsin
28
DNA and RNA
nucleases
29
Fat globules
bile salts -> lipase
30
villi
made in the liver and is stored in the gallbladder contains bile salts which break fats into small droplets
31
the absorbed amino acids and sugars directly go to the blood vessel
the absorbed fatty acids and glycerol become fats which bind to lipoprotein, are delivered to lymph vessel, and then are transported to blood vessel later
32
blood from digestive tract drains into
hepatic portal vein and then into the liver
33
excess glucose ->
glycogen
34
cecum
large intestine has a pouch appendix
35
water absorption
90% out of 2L of water and 7L of digestive juice is absorbed in the small intestine. The remaining 10% of water is absorbed in the large intestine
36
colon
storoji žarna
37
rectum
akloji žarna
38
compartmentsthathouse cellulose-digesting microbes
- koalas: cecum - rabbits and rodents: cecum and large intestine - ruminants: cattle, sheep, deer- 4 stomach
39
essential fatty acids
Methionine, Valine (Histidine), Threonine, Phenylalanine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Tryptophan, Lysine
40
fat soluble vitamins
DEKA
41

B 1 2 3 5 6 7 9 12 C
42
hormone leptin
produced by adipose cells and suppress appetite
