test q

A

enteropeptidase (initial enzyme that turns on whole cascade of pancreatic digestive enzyme release)

trypsin

30
Q

test q

A

trypsin

trypsin is a huge activator!!!!

31

A

elastin proteins

33
Q

Which hormone combines with trypsin and is produced inside the pancreas? This hormone prevents self-digestion prior to secretion

A

trypsin inhibitor

34
Q

Ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease digest _____________

A

nucleic acids

35
Q

Pancreatic juice secretion is high in bicarbonate, which ________ pH

A

increases (becomes more alkaline)

36
Q

Acidic chyme arriving in the SI stimulates release of _________, which stimulates increased bicarbonate release in pancreatic juice

A

secretin

37
Q

FAs and sugar in chyme causes increased insulin release with what hormone?

A

gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP)

38
Q

Fats and proteins cause release of ____, which inhibits gastric emptying. This hormone increases gastric acid secretion and digestive enzymes release into pancreatic juice, which drives contraction of gallbladder

A

39
Q

what is pancreatitis? What are the causes?

A

inflammation of the pancreas
-caused by gallstones, mumps, corticosteroids, trauma

40
Q

What is acute pancreatitis most commonly associated with?

A

heavy alcohol intake or biliary tract obstruction (severity depends on activation level of trypsinogen and other proteolytic enzymes- if they are activated, the patient starts to digest themselves and this can be fatal)

43
Q

A

brush border

57
Q

What happens in the digestive system when a lactose intolerant person consumes dairy?

A

undigested lactose retains fluid in feces and will result in bacterial fermentation and produce gas
