Chapter 3(Part 2) Flashcards
5 organs that provide secretion for digestion
- salivary glands
- stomach
- pancreas
- liver(via gallbladder)
- small intestine
what do secretions contain?
- water
- enzymes(which are protein facilitator of chemical reactions)
- facilitate hydrolysis
Secretions: Saliva
Salivary Glands
Secretions: Stomach
Gastric Juice
Secretion:Pancreas
Pancreatic Juice
Secretion: Gall Bladder
Bile
Secretion:Small Intestine
intestinal juice
Saliva
- moistens food for digestion
- protective role (teeth, mouth, esophagus,stomach,)
-Carb digestion
Where does protein digestion take place?
in the Stomach
-hydrochloric acid helps break down proteins
Mucus
-coats,cells, protects from acid/enzymes and disease causing bacteria
What does a lower PH mean?
stronger acid
What is an acidic environment not good for?
not good for salivary enzymes/ digestion of CHo
By the time food leaves the stomach what has happened to all 3 energy nutrients
- have all begun digestion
- very small amounts of CHo and fat are digested in mouth
Where is pancreatic juice released from and to?
-pancreatic ducts into duodenum
What are the three aptly named enzymes for the energy yielding proteins?
- pancreatic amylase
- protease
- lipase
What neutralizes chyme?
sodium bicarbonate
-makes chyme slightly alkaline
