PANCREATIC SECRETIONS Flashcards
HOW ARE THESE SECRETIONS ACTIVATED?
-all pancreatic secretions are activated by trypsin in the duodenum
TRYPSINOGEN
-becomes trypsin
-breaks down proteins
CHYMOTRYPSINOGEN
-becomes chymotrypsin
-breakdown of partially hydrolyzed proteins
PROCARBOXYPEPTIDASE
-becomes carboxypeptidase
-remove single amino acids from caboxyl end of oligopeptides
ELASTASE
-become elastase
-breaks down elastin
PANCREATIC LIPASE
-becomes pancreatic lipase
-breaks down lipids
NUCLEASES
-becomes nucleases
-breaks down DNA and RNA
PANCREATIC AMYLASE
-becomes pancreatic amylase
-breaks down carbohydrates
ACETYLCHOLINE
-vagus and enteric nerve, stimulate enzymes stored in ducts
SECRETIN
-stimulates release of sodium bicarbonate by liver and pancreas
ENTROPEPTIDASE
-CONVERTS TRYPSINOGEN INTO ACTIVE TRIPSON
