digestion Flashcards
hydrolyses polysaccharides into oligosaccharides
salivary amylase
breaks down lipids, mostly activated in acidic environment
lingual lipase
coats the bolus to facilitate swallowing
mucus
kills bacteria on food
lysozyme
made by parietal cells and activates lipase and pepsinogen
HCl
made by chief cells and breaks down protein into peptides (inactive form of pepsin)
pepsinogen
digestive hormone that stimulates HCl production
gastrin
made by chief cells and breaks down lipids in the stomach
gastric lipase
hormone that stimulates the liver and pancreas
secretin
hormone that stimulates the gallbladder and the pancreas
CCK
pancreatic amylase
breaks down carbs
pancreatic lipase
breaks down lipids
pancreatic trypsin
breaks down proteins
pancreatic chymotrypsin
breaks down proteins
pancreatic carboxypeptidase A and B
breaks down proteins
pancreatic peptidase
breaks down proteins
pancreatic colipase
breaks down lipids
pancreatic phospholipase
breaks down lipids
neutralizes the acidic HCl in chyme to make it around pH of 7
sodium bicarbinate
made in the liver, stored in gallbladder and helps digestion
bile (bile salt and lecithin)
cholesterol esterase
breaks down lipids
sucrase
breaks down sucrose
maltase
breaks down maltose
sucrose is made of…
glucose and fructose
maltose is made of…
glucose and glucose
lactose is made of…
glucose and galactose
nutrients that our body needs lots of (carbs, fats, proteins, water)
macronutrients
nutrients that our body needs in small amounts (vitamins, minerals)
micronutrients
the simplest form of carbs, made of one molecule
monosaccaride
2 molecules bonded together, carb
disaccaride
3-9 molecules bonded together, carb
oligosaccaride
