A

circulatory system

23
Q

The process by which waste products are removed from the body; defecation and urination.

24
Q

A muscular passage in the throat between the mouth and esophagus.

25
The tubular portion of the digestive tract that leads from the pharynx to the stomach.
esophagus
26
A protein catalyst that increases the rate at which a chemical reaction occurs; the enzyme remains unchanged during these reactions
enzyme
27
Which layer of the digestive tract is in direct contact with the food that is consumed? mucosa muscularis serosa submucosa
Mucosa
28
The ENS is found in the submucosa layer. the muscularis layer. the serosa layer. Both a and b are correct. All of these are correct.
Both a and b Submucosa and muscularis
29
Dentin forms the surface of the crown of the teeth. holds the teeth to the periodontal ligaments. is found in the pulp cavity. makes up most of the structure of the teeth. is harder than enamel.
makes up most of the structure of the teeth.
30
The number of premolar deciduous teeth is 0. 2. 4. 8. 12
0
31
Which of these glands does not secrete saliva into the oral cavity? submandibular gland pancreas sublingual gland parotid gland
pancreas
32
The portion of the digestive tract in which digestion begins is the oral cavity. esophagus. stomach. duodenum. jejunum.
oral cavity
33
During swallowing the movement of food results primarily from gravity. the swallowing center in the medulla oblongata is activated. food is pushed into the oropharynx during the pharyngeal phase. the soft palate closes off the opening into the larynx.
the swallowing center in the medulla oblongata is activated.
34
The stomach has large folds in the submucosa and mucosa called rugae. has two layers of smooth muscle in the muscularis tunic. opening from the esophagus is the pyloric opening. has an area closest to the duodenum called the fundus. All of these are correct.
has large folds in the submucosa and mucosa called rugae.
35
Which of these stomach cell types is not correctly matched with its function? surface mucous cells—produce mucus parietal cells—produce hydrochloric acid chief cells—produce intrinsic factor endocrine cells—produce regulatory hormones
chief cells—produce intrinsic factor they actually produce pepsinogen
36
Why doesn’t the stomach digest itself? The stomach wall is not composed of protein, so it is not affected by proteolytic enzymes. The digestive enzymes of the stomach are not strong enough to digest the stomach wall. The lining of the stomach wall has a protective layer of epithelial cells. The stomach wall is protected by large amounts of mucus.
The stomach wall is protected by large amounts of mucus.
37
Which of these hormones stimulates stomach secretions? cholecystokinin insulin gastrin secretin
gastrin
38
Which of these structures increase the mucosal surface of the small intestine? circular folds villi microvilli length of the small intestine All of these are correct.
All of these are correct.
39
Which cells in the small intestine have digestive enzymes attached to their surfaces? mucous cells goblet cells endocrine cells absorptive cells
absorptive cells
40
The hepatic sinusoids receive blood from the hepatic artery. receive blood from the hepatic portal vein. empty into the central veins. All of these are correct.
All of these are correct.
41
Which of the following might occur if a person suffers from a severe case of hepatitis that impairs liver function? Lipid digestion is difficult. By-products of hemoglobin breakdown accumulate in the blood. Plasma proteins decrease in concentration. Toxins in the blood increase. All of these occur.
All of these occur.
42
The gallbladder produces bile. stores bile. contracts and releases bile in response to secretin. contracts and releases bile in response to sympathetic stimulation. Both b and c are correct.
stores bile.
43
The aqueous pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreatic islets. contains HCO3−. is released primarily in response to cholecystokinin. passes directly into the blood. All of these are correct.
E ??
44
Which of these is not a function of the large intestine? absorption of glucose absorption of certain vitamins absorption of water and salts production of mucus
absorption of glucose
45
Defecation can be initiated by stretch of the rectum. can occur as a result of mass movements. involves local reflexes. involves parasympathetic reflexes mediated by the spinal cord. All of these characteristics are true of defecation.
All of these characteristics are true of defecation.
46
Which of these structures produces enzymes that digest carbohydrates? salivary glands pancreas lining of the small intestine Both a and b are correct. All of these are correct.
All of these are correct.
47
Bile is an important enzyme for the digestion of lipids. is made by the gallbladder. contains breakdown products from hemoglobin. emulsifies lipids. Both c and d are correct.
Both c and d are correct.
48
Micelles are lipids surrounded by bile salts. produced by the pancreas. released into lacteals. stored in the gallbladder. reabsorbed in the colon.
lipids surrounded by bile salts.
49
If the thoracic duct were tied off, which of these classes of nutrients would not enter the blood at their normal rate? amino acids glucose lipids fructose nucleotides
lipids
50
Which of these lipoprotein molecules transports excess lipids from cells back to the liver? high-density lipoprotein (HDL) low-density lipoprotein (LDL) very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)
high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
