16
Q

Endopeptidases and exopeptidases.

A

Hydrolyse peptide bonds, within protein molecule. ENDOPEPTIDASES.
Hydrolyse peptide bonds at end protein molecule. EXOPEPTIDASES

17
Q

Fats are digested how?

A

First emulsified by bile salts into smaller globules before being broken down into fatty acids and glycerol by lipase.

18
Q

Mucus purpose.

A

Protects gut wall and lubricates food passing through gut.

19
Q

Glucose and amino acid absorbtion.

A

Diffusion and active transport into capillaries, and then travel via hepatic portal vein to liver.

20
Q

Fatty acids and glycerols

A

absorbed by lacteals move through lymph and reconnect to blood at thoracic duct.

21
Q

Amino acids absorbed for protein synthesis and…

A

Excess cannot be stored so amino group is removed and converted to urea and the dean instead group is converted to carbs and stored.

22
Q

Lipids are used for what? Excess?

A

Membranes, hormones, excess stores as fat.

23
Q

Glucose absorbtion.

A

Absorbed onto epithelial cells by fd>through specific contransporter protein along with sodium ion> sodium Ions actively pumped out into blood> lowers conc of sodium ion in cells> so more sodium Iona and glucose enters cell increasing concentration> glucose diffuses out of blood down conc gradient.

24
Q

How are amino acids absorbed?

A

Same way as glucose with different contransporter protein.

25
Q

Fatty acid and glycerol absorbtion.

A

Lipid soluble so absorb I to epithelial cells though bilayer> diffuse into lacteal> lacteal joins to form blood at thoracic duct>

26
Q

Bile also contains?

A

Sodium hydrogen carbonate which neutralises stomach acid to produce ph7

27
Q

Crypts of lieberkuhn.

A

Secrete intestinal juice which protect mucosa of duodenum and from effects of Stomach acid.

28
Q

1st and second sphincter.

A

Cardiac and pyloric.

29
Q

Hcl does what?

A

Kill bacteria
Activate pepsinogen
Provide optimum ph of 2

30
Q

Mucus functions?

A

Protects wall of stomach preventing autolysis.

31
Q

Pepsin.

A

Secreted in inactive form pepsinogen.

ENDOPEPTIDASE hydrolysing polypeptides.

32
Q

Burners glands.

A

Secrete alkaline fluid and mucus. Neutralise acid stomach contents.

33
Q

Rennin.

A

Activated by acid.
Coagulates soluble caseinogen into insoluble casein.
Milk curdles and stays in stomach for longer for more digestion.

34
Q

Draw diagram of gastric pit

A

Goblet cell secreting mucus.
Zymogen cell secreting pepsinogen and rennin.
Oxytocin cell secreting Hcl.

35
Q

Cancer cause.

A

Progressive in controlled cell division
