25. Which gland secretes lingual lipase?
Definition
parotid gland
Term
26. Does the salivary amylase and lingual lipase continue to work in the stomach?

Term
27. What are 2 antibacterials found in saliva?
Definition
antibody IgA and lysozyme
Term
28. Does the parasympathetic nervous system make your saliva more aqueous or more viscous?

more aqueous (enzymes)
Term
29. Does the sympathetic nervous system make your saliva more aqueous or more viscous?

more viscous (mucous)
Term
30. What inhibits the release of saliva?
Definition
dehydration and sleep
Term
31. What does the parietal cells get from the blood that they convert into H+ and HCO3-?
Definition
CO2
Term
32. How do the parietal cells transport H+ into the lumen?
Definition
by the proton pump (H+/K+ pump)
Term
33. What is Prilosec (what does it inhibit)?
Definition
inhibits proton pump (less H+ in stomach - less acid)
Term
34. The gastric acid in the stomach converts _____ into ______ when the pH is below 3.0.
