| Salivary Glands Role in Digestion |
|
Definition
| Saliva moistens food and salivary amylase begins carhbohydrate breakdown |
|
|
Term
| Pancreas' Role in Digestion |
|
Definition
| Secretes enzymes through ducts in the duodenum that break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats and neautralizes stomach acid |
|
|
Term
| Liver and Gallbladder's Role in Digestion |
|
Definition
| Liver creates bile to be stored in the gallbladder for later secretion into the duodenum. Bile emulsifies fat |
|
|
Term
| Explain the Role of Enzymes in Digestion |
|
Definition
| Enzymes are proteins that facilitate the chemical break down of molecules - in digestion this is known as hydrolysis |
|

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Nutrients need a specific carrier to tranport them from one side of the cell membrane to the other |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Nutrients must move against a concentration gradient (they require energy to be absorbed) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Food entering the stomach stimulates cells to release gastrin and gastrin stimulates the stomach glands to secrete HCL |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The presence of acidic chyme stimulates the cells of the duodenum to release secretin, which stimulates the pancreas to release neutralizing enzymes |
|
|
Term
| Cholecystokinin (CCK) (2 roles) |
|
Definition
Fat in the intestine stimulates the release of the hormone CCK, which travels to the gallbladder and tells it to release bile for emulsification
When fat triggers it's release it slows down GI tract mobility |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An emulsifier that prepares fat and oil for digestion; created by the liver and stored in the gallbladder |

Definition

|
|
Term
| Explain how carbohydrates are digested in the GI Tract |
|
Definition
Salivary amylase begins to break down polysaccharides and releases maltose
Digestion stops in the stomach as salivary amylase is neutralized by stomach acid
Pancreatic amylase breaks down food in the small intestine to glucose and maltose chains
Maltase breaks maltose into 2 glucose molecules, Sucrase breaks sucrose into 1 glucose and 1 fructose and Lactase breaks lactose into 1 glucose and 1 galactos
In the large intestine only fiber remains |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Normally the intestinal cells produce enough of the enzyme lactase to ensure that the disaccharide lactose is digested and absorbed efficiently
When more lactose is consumed than the available lactase can handle, lactose molecules remain in the intestine undigested |

|
Term
| The Role of Glucose in the Body |
|
Definition
Glucose is used as energy for every cell in the body, especially red blood cells, the nervous system, and the brain.
Unused Glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver. When blood sugar falls, the liver hydrolizes glycogen chains and releases glucose into the blood stream. |
|
|
Term
| What hormones regulate glucose and what are their roles? |
|
Definition
Insulin - puts glucose into cells
Glucagon - brings glucose out of storage when necessary |
