Digestive System Biology Flashcards
(28 cards)
What does the pancreas produce
chemicals called digestive enzymes
what does the pancreas break down
proteins, carbohydrates and lipids
where is bile stored
gall bladder
where is bile made
small intestine
what happens in the sailvary gland
amalyase is made
where can you find amalyse
in your saliva
what does bile do
neutralises acids and emulsifys lipids (breaks them down)
what happens in the mouth
food is broken down and saliva is added
what does amalyse break down
strach into glucose
what happens in the oesaphagus
food goes down and into stomach
what happens in the stomach
it churns the food and hydrochlauric acid is added
what happens in the pancreas
bile is stored
what happens in the large intestine
anything remaining enters the large intestine where water is absorbed
what happens in the rectum
feces is stored
what happens in the small intestine
digested food is abosrobed into the bloodstream
what is proteins broken down into in the small intestine
amino acids
how is proteins broken down into amino acids
by the enzyme protease
how is carbohydrates broekn down into glucose
by the enzyme carbohydrase
how is lipids broken down into 3 fatty acids
by the enzyme lypase
what is another word for the large intestine
colon
where is lipase made
in the pancreas
where does lipase work
small intestine
what does lipase do
break down lipids into 3 fatty acids and glycerol
what does protease do
breaks down proteins into 3 amino acids
