Q

Essential amino acids

A

Animals can make about half of the 20 needed amino acids
Protiens in animals provide all amino acids - complete protiens
Most plants don’t have all amino acids - incomplete

Q

Gizzard

A

After stomach, used to grind food

20
Q

Shark’s plan that helps increase surface area

A

Spiral valve

21
Q

Organs attached to small intestine

A

Liver, pancreas, gallbladder

22
Q

Liver

A

Makes bile, emulsifiers help digestion and absorption of fats

23
Q

Pancreas

A

Produces protease trypsin and chymotripsin
Solution neutralizes acidic chyme

24
Q

Gallbladder

A

Stores bile

25
Q

Human digestive track

A

Mouth (with salivary glands), pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus

26
Q

Chewed up ball of food

A

Bolus

27
Q

Salivary amylase

A

In saliva (unsurprisingly), breaks down glucose

28
Q

Stomach lining cells

A

Mucous cells
Chief cells - secretes pepsinogen (inactive pepsin)
Parietal cells - release gastric juices (hydrocloric acid)

29
Q

Microvili are on the ______ cells

A

Epithelial cells

30
Q

Something at the start of the large intestine that helps ferment plant material

A

Cecum

31
Q

Chemical digestion: Carbohydrates

A

Salivary amylase (mouth)

Pancreatic amylase (small intestine)

32
Q

Chemical digestion: protien

A

Pepsin (stomach)

Pancreatic trypsin and chymotripsin
Some enzymes from epithelium
(Small intestine)

33
Q

Chemical digestion: Fat

A

Pancreatic Lipase

34
Q

Main hormones in hormonal control of digestion

A

Gastrin
Secretin
CCK

35
Q

Hormonal control: food enters stomach

A

Stomach expands and simulates gastrin, gastrin simulates gastric juices excretion

36
Q

Hormonal control: Food enters small intestine

A

Duodenum responds to amino acids and fatty acids and realses CKK and Secretin. CCK stimulates pancreas for enzymes and gallbladder for bile. Secretin stimulates bicarbonate to neutralize chyme.

37
Q

Hormonal control: Fatty foods enters small intestine

A

Inhibits CCK and secretin to slow down stomach

38
Q

Teeth, front to back

A

Incisors, canines, premolars, molars

39
Q

Carnivore vs herbivore digestion system differences

A

Carnivores have a larger stomach
Herbivores have a larger cecum

40
Q

What digests Cellulose?

A

Microorganisms, not enzymes!

41
Q

Coprophagy

A

Eating own excrements

42
Q

Ruminants

A

Herbivores like cow that re-chew food

43
Q

Cow for chamber order

A

Rumen (Cellulose digestion)
Reticulum
Omasum
Abomasum (acidic stomach)

44
Q

First part of the small intestine

A

Duodenum

45
Q

Alimentary canals. Earth worms vs. Grasshopper vs. Birds

A

Earthworms: Crop and gizzard but no stomach

Grasshopper: Crop and gastric cecae but no gizzard or stomach

Bird: Crop, stomach and gizzard

46
Q

How does stomach acid digest?

A

Denatures protiens, making Peptide bonds more avaliable to breakq
