Term
1. What produces bile?
Definition
liver
Term
2. What is bile made up of?
Definition
water, cholesterol, lipids, conjugated bilirubin, electrolytes (HCO3-), and bile salts
Term
3. What is conjugated bilirubin a waste product of?
Definition
RBC destruction
Term
4. What do bile salts do?
Definition
emulsify (digest) fats
Term
5. Are most bile salts reabsorbed to make more bile?
Definition
yes (reabsorbed in ileum)
Term
6. What is the function of bile?
Definition
neutralize acidic chyme and emulsify fats
Term
7. Why do we want to neutralize the acidic chyme?
Definition
protect duodenum and needed for certain duodenal and pancreatic enzymes to function
Term
8. What does increasing the pH of chyme above 3.0 stop?
Definition
digestion of protein by pepsin (only works in acidic environment)
Term
9. What stimulates the release of bile from the liver to the gallbladder?
Definition
secretin
Term
10. What does the gallbladder do?
Definition
concentrates bile(removes water) and stores bile
Term
11. What is the conversion of glucose into glycogen for storage?
Definition
glycogenesis
Term
12. What is the break down of glycogen into glucose?
Definition
glycogenolysis
Term
13. What is the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources?
Definition
gluconeogenesis
Term
14. What is the production of lipids from glucose and amino acids?
Definition
lipogenesis
Term
15. What are some functions of the liver?
Definition
stores glycogen, iron, and vitamens / removes and adds nutrients to blood / produces cholesterol / removes toxins from blood / phagocytizes RBCs / converts ammonia to urea
Term
16. What organ functions in glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and lipogenesis?
Definition
the liver
Term
17. Where are pancreatic secretions released?
Definition
into duodenum
Term
18. Saliva is hypotonic, are pancreatic secretions hypo-, hyper-, or isotonic?
Definition
isotonic
Term
19. Where does the filtrate for pancreatic secretions come from?
Definition
plasma (from capillaries)
Term
20. What electrolytes are found in pancreatic secretions?
Definition
Na+, Cl-, K+, and HCO3-
Term
21. What are the organic components of pancreatic secretions?
Definition
pancreatic amylase, pancreatic lipase, proteases, and peptidases
Term
22. What are the two proteases from the pancreas?
Definition
trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen
Term
23. What is the peptidase from the pancreas?
Definition
procarboxypeptidase
Term
24. What converts trypsinogen into trypsin?
Definition
enterokinase (found in small intestine)
Term
25. What converts chymotrypsinogen into chymotrypsin?
Definition
trypsin
Term
26. What converts procarboxypeptidase into carboxypeptidase?
Definition
trypsin
Term
27. Why do the pancreatic peptidases and proteases need to be converted to trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase?
Definition
the original forms will digest the small intestine
Term
28. What can be absorbed in the stomach?
Definition
water, salts, lipid-soluble drugs, and alcohol
Term
29. Where does most absorption take place?
Definition
small intestine
Term
30. Nutrients absorbed by the capillaries in the villi will transport them in blood to _________.
Definition
liver (through hepatic portal vein)
Term
31. Where do the fats that are absorbed go?
Definition
in lacteal (lymphatic system)
Term
32. Why are fats absorbed into the lacteal?
Definition
fats too big to enter through capillary
Term
33. Absorption of ______ and _______ occurs in the ileum.
Definition
bile salts and vitamin B12
Term
34. What is absorbed in the large intestine?
Definition
water, Na+, vitamin K, vitamin B complexes
Term
35. How do the digested monosaccharides enter the epithelial cell on villi?
Definition
secondary active transport (cotransport with Na+)
Term
36. How do the monosaccharides go from epithelial cells into blood capillaries?
Definition
facilitated diffusion
Term
37. How do the digested amino acids and small peptides enter the epithelial cell on villi?
Definition
secondary active transport (cotransport with Na+)
Term
38. How do the digested amino acids go from the epithelial cells into blood capillaries?
Definition
active transport
Term
39. What happens to most tripeptides and dipeptides in the epithelial cells on villi?
Definition
broken down into amino acids
Term
40. How do the digested fatty acids and monoglycerides enter the epithelial cells on villi?
Definition
simple diffusion
Term
41. Once inside the epithelial cell, the fatty acids and monoglycerides combine to triglycerides, then what is added to them and what do they become?
Definition
protein added / now called chylomicron
Term
42. How do the chylomicrons go from the epithelial cells into lacteals?
Definition
exocytosis
Term
43. Where is almost 90% of all water taken in absorbed?
Definition
small intestine
Term
44. Where is about 10% of all water taken in absorbed?
Definition
large intestine
Term
45. What is responsible for the absorption of water?
Definition
nutrients absorbed (water follows by osmosis)
