17
Q

What do diabetes patients need to get checked

A

Dentist
feet
Eye
General health

18
Q

Fats broken down…

A

triglyceride -> Fatty acid (3) & glycerol

19
Q

Carbs

A

Strathc -> maltose -> glucose

20
Q

protein

A

long peptide chain -> shorter peptide chain -> amino acid

21
Q

Stomach special structure and why

A

More muscle- Mechanibcal digestion
Thicker mucosa & gastric glands- Acid production

22
Q

Small intestine structure and why

A

Villi - higher surface area for absorption

23
Q

Triglyceride -> glycerol & 3 fatty acids
(enzyme)

24
Q

Sucrose -> glucose + fructose (enzyme)

25
protein-> polypeptide-> tripeptide & dipeptide
Endopeptidase
26
Lactose-> glucose + galactose
Lactase
27
Amylose-> maltose
= amylase
28
Polypeptide chain-> Tri + di peptide -> amino acids =
= exopeptidase
29
Where are enzymes found in Mouth- Stomach- Pancrease- Ileum-
M- Salivary amylase S- Peptide lipase, Pepsin P- Pancreatic lipase, trypsin, pancreatic amylase I- Exopeptidase, maltose, sucrase, lactase
30
Enzyme release from? Trypsin amylase pancreatic amylase Exopeptidase Sucrase Pepsin Lipase lactase
Small intestine Saliva + pancrease Pancrease Small intestine(remaining 5)
31
where are pepsin and trypsin produced?
pep- stomach try- pancrease
