42
Q

entire portion of the tooth covered with enamel

A

anatomical crown

43
Q

number of deciduous teeth

A

20

44
Q

number of permanent teeth

A

32

45
Q

dental formula for permanent teeth

A

2,1,2,3/2,1,2,3 x2

46
Q

which teeth are wisdom teeth

A

third molars

47
Q

produce mucus found in the submucosa of the small intestine

A

duodenal glands

48
Q

produce product containing amylase that begins starch breakdown in the mouth

A

salivary glands

49
Q

produce many enzymes and an alkaline fluid that is secreted in to the duodenum

A

pancreas

50
Q

produce bile that is secreted into the duodenum via the bile duct

A

liver

51
Q

produces HCl and pepsinogen

A

gastric glands

52
Q

found in the mucosa of the small instestine, produces intestinal juice

A

intestinal crypts

53
Q

which of the salivary glands produces a secretin that is mainly serous

A

parotid gland

54
Q

what is the role of the gallbladder

A

stores bile

55
Q

where would you expect to find the stellate macrophages of the liver and what do they do

A

sinusoid walls; they remove debris from the blood

56
Q

what secretory cells of the pancreas serve digestive processes

A

acinar cells

57
Q

what are the subuint and substrate of amylase

A

subuint: maltose substrate: starch

58
Q

what is the effect of freezing and boiling on enzyme activity

A

freezing=no effect

boiling=stops enzymes from working

59
Q

at what pH is amylase most active and why

A

7 which is the same pH as the mouth

60
Q

what is the significance of using 37 C incubation temperature to test enzyme activity

A

it is the body temp which is ideal for enzymes

61
Q

what is the usual substrate for peptidase

A

peptides and proteins

62
Q

how does bacteria aid in digestion

A

bacteria digests things we cannot digest(breaks down cellulose)

63
Q

what was the effect of boiling pepsin

A

denatured and inactivated it(no activity in #1)

64
Q

what is the optimal pH of pepsin

A

2 because that is the pH of the gastric juices which is when pepsin is most active
