  • churning and enzyme action convert food to a nutrient rich broth called acid chime
Term

 

Secretion

Definition

  • Parietal cells secrete HCL, which kills bacteria, denatures proteins and converts pepsinogen to pepsin
Term

 

Mucin

Definition
  • protects the stomach lining
Term

 

Gastrin

Definition
  • a hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric juice
Term

 

Small Intestine

Definition
  • major organ of digestion and absorption
Term

 

Carbohydrate

Digestion

Definition
  • began in the mouth with salivary amylase
  • begins again in the duodenum with pancreatic amalyse (completes digestion of carbs)
Term

 

Protein

Digestion

Definition
  • Began in the stomach with pepsin
  • Begins again in the duodenum with trypsin and chymotrypsin
Term

 

Fat

Digestion

Definition
  • occurs only in the small intestine
  • must first be emulsified by bile salts produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder
  • Pancreatic lipase then breaks down fat into glyceroal and fatty acids
Term

 

Absorption

of Nutrients

Definition
  • nutrients are absorbed by diffusion or active transportn into the capillaries or lacteal
  • these converge into the hepatic portal system, which leads directly to the liver
Term

 

Gastrin

Definition
  • from the stomach is released in response to the presence of food
  • it stimulates the release of gastric juices (HCL and pepsin)
Term

 

Secretin

Definition
  • from the duodenum is released in response to acid chyme from the stomach
  • it stimulates the release of bicarbonate buffer to neutralize acid
Term

 

Cholecystokinin

Definition
  • from the duodenum is released in response to chyme in the stomach
  • it stimulates the gallbladder to release bile and the pacrease to release pacreatic enzymes
Term

 

Gastric

Inhibitory Peptide

Definition
  • from the duodenum is released in response to fat in the chyme
  • inhibits peristalsis and slows digestion
