Question 23

gastric glands secretions

Answer 23

⬛ mucus neck cells - mucus

Question 24

what protect stomach from HCl

Answer 24

mucus and bicarbonate secreted by gastric glands

Question 25

rennin? secreted by? function?

Answer 25

proteolytic enzyme gastric juice digestion of milk proteins in infants

Question 26

enterokinase fxn

trypsinogen to trypsin (activate other enzyme)

Question 27

bolus? chyme?

Answer 27

masticated food + saliva = bolus bolis in stomach + gastric enzymes + churning movement of muscles = chyme

Answer 32

gastric juice - acidic pancreatic juice - alkaline

Question 33

absorption types

Answer 33

⬛simple diffusion - no energy glucose, AA, Cl- ⬛facilitated transport - no energy BUT carrier proteins needed glucose AA ⬛active transport - energy required glucose AA Na+

Question 34

materials absorbed in mouth, stomach, SI and LI

Answer 34

mouth - some drugs stomach - water alcohol simple sugar SI - max LI - water minerals drugs

Question 35

jaundice? reason?

Answer 35

yellow appearance of eyes skin defect in liver - deposition of bilerubin
