Mouth
Starts breakdown of starch
Sublingual lipase
Mouth
Starts breakdown of fat
More prevalent in infants
Gastric glands
Give rise to parietal cells ( oxyntic cells) chief cells (peptic cells)
Chief/peptic cells
Produce pepsinogen
Later converted to pepsin by hcl
Parietal/oxyntic cells
HCL which converts pepsinogen to pepsin
Intrinsic factor for B12 absorption in terminal ileum
Mucous neck cells aka cardiac gastric cells
Make mucous
Pyloric glands
Give rise to gastric cells which produce gastrin( increase gastric secretions & motlity) and mucous
Brunner’s glands
Mucous secreting glands in duodenum
Bicarbonate rich alkaline
Buffers chyme
Secretin
Bicarbonate-buffers acid chyme from stomach
Water- cause release of pancreatic enzymes
Lactase
Lactose into glucose and galactose
Sucrase
