Break down lipids
Emulsification by bile and lipases
organ with upper skeletal muscle, lower smooth muscle
Esophagus
Location of one sphincter in early digestive process
between esophagus and stomach
main function is acid digestion of proteins
Stomach
secrete HCl
parietal cells
secrete pepsinogen
chief cells
What cells are located in mucosa of stomach?
Parietal and chief cells
Pepsinogen function and source
Chief cells secrete pepsinogen which are activated to become pepsin and hydrolyze proteins
controls movement of chime from stomach to small intestine
Pyloric sphincter
mixture of gastric juice and food
chyme
main function is terminal digestion and absorption
Small intestine
3 parts of small intestine
duodenum, jejunum, then ileum
active digestion occurs at this part (in small intestine)
Duodenum
food absorption into bloodstream at this part (small intestine)
Jejunum and ileum
consists of bicarbonate, amylases, proteases, and lipases
Pancreatic juice
emulsifies fat
comes from the liver and may be stored in gall bladder
Bile
cytoplasmic projections of villi
Microvilli
responsible for final disaccharide digestion

blood capillaries with active transport
Food in bloodstream is first taken to ________
liver
free fatty acids and monoglycerides convert into this (in epithelial cells)
Triglycerides
Where are triglycerides made
epithelial cells
triglycerides combined with proteins
Chylomicrons
these pass into lymphatic capillaries (enter bloodstream at neck veins)
Chylomicrons

fat droplets into glycerol, fatty acids, and glycerides
Pepsin is located in the
stomach
Dipeptidases, carboxypeptidase, and aminopeptidase are located in the
brush border
Nucleotidases are located in the
brush border

Digestive function of large intestine
Only 4% of all absorption
Main absorptions of large intestine
sodium, vitamin K, and water
fermentation chamber or storage in some animals
First part of large intestine
Cecum
All vertebrates except _______ have a cloaca
eutherian mammals
Cause feces to pass into rectum

Termites digest cellulose with
Protozoan aid
Rodents and lagomorphs digest cellulose with
Aid of bacteria in their cecum
