23
Q

enzyme that is activated by stomach acid and digests fat after food is swallowed

A

Lingual Lipase

24
Q

binds and lubricates a mass of food and aids in swallowing

A

Mucus

25
Q

enzyme that kills bacteria

A

Lysozome

26
Q

Binding of food by saliva , tthat can be easily swallowed

A

Bolus

27
Q

Muscular funnel connecting oral cavity to esophagus and nasal cavity to larynx

A

pharynx

28
Q

Esophagus contains this kind of tissue

A

Nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium

29
Q

Food storage organ that holds up to 4L when extremely full

A

Stomach

30
Q

What happens to food in stomach?

A

Mechanically breaks up food, liquefies it, and begins chemical digestion of protein and fat

31
Q

soupy or pasty mixture of semi-digested food in the stomach

A

Chyme

32
Q

Most digestion occurs after the chyme passes ?

A

From stomach to small intestine

33
Q

Too much water in colon w/ fecal matter

A

Diarrhea

34
Q

Blood drained from stomach and intestines enters?

A

Hepatic Portal Circulation

35
Q

Once blood from stomach enters hepatic portal circulation

A

material is processed by liver, then passed to the heart, then enters the general circulation.

36
Q

Cells of the stomach include

A

mucosa, regenerative (stem), parietal, chief, enteroendocrine cells

37
Q

These cells secrete HCl , intrinsic factor, hunger hormone & ghrelin

A

Parietal Cells

38
Q

These cells are the most numerous & Secrete gastric lipase and pepsinogen

A

Chief Cells

39
Q

What activates pepsin & Lingual Lipase?

A

HCl

40
Q

The only digestive enzyme in the stomach

A

Pepsin (inactive)

41
Q

Most digestive enzymes are made in

A

the pancreas

42
Q

What is needed to absorb vitamin b12?

A

Intrinsic factor

43
Q

What is needed to produce hemoglobin?

A

b12

44
Q

Gastric Juice is a mix of

A

water, hydrochloric acid, and pepsin

45
Q

How much gastric juice produced by the glands daily?

A

2-3L

46
Q

Gastric Juice has a high concentration of this, which makes it highly acidic?

A

Hydrochloric Acid

47
Q

digestive enzymes secreted as inactive proteins

A

zymogens

48
Q

Pepsinogen (inactive protein) once active becomes

A

pepsin

49
Q

This protein digest big proteins (dietary proteins) into (shorter peptides) smaller pieces

A

pepsin

50
Q

Most digestion and nearly all absorption occur after the chyme ?

A

passes into small intestine (mainly the jejunum)

51
Q

How is stomach protected from the harsh acidic and enzymatic environment it creates??

A

Mucous coat, tight junctions, epithelial cell replacement

52
Q

What neutralizes in duodenum

A

Bicarbonate

53
Q

Where does small intestine receive chyme?

A

From stomach and secretions from liver and pancreas; which mix in duodenum, which turns into jejunum where digestion and absorption take place

54
Q

organ made up of hepatocytes that secrete bile

A

liver

55
Q

Organ that STORES bile

A

GallBladder
