what undergoes digestion
carbs
proteins
fats
what does NOT undergo digestion
water
minerals
vitamins
amylase digests
carbs
protease digests
proteins
lipase digests
fats
STOMACH
gastric glands produce
gastric juice
STOMACH
gastric juice contains
pepsinogen
hydrochloric acid
intrinsic factor
STOMACH
pepsinogen
needs to be activate by protease
converts proteins to polypeptides and peptides
STOMACH
hydrochloric acid
functions:
1. activates pepsinogen into pepsin
- provides acidic medium for action of pepsin
- kills bacteria in stomach
- breaks down fat molecules into smaller molecules
STOMACH
3 types of cells in gastric glands are
cheif cells
parietal cells
G cells
STOMACH
cheif cells produce
pepsinogen
STOMACH
parietal cells produce
hydrochloric acid
intrinsic factor
STOMACH
chief cells
secrete gastrin: growth of gastric glands
production of gastric juice
PANCREAS
acinar cells produce
pancreatic juice
PANCREAS
pancreatic juice contains what 3 enzymes
amylopsin
steapsin
trypsinogen
PANCREAS
amylopsin
amylase–> carbs—> glucose
PANCREAS
steapsin
lipase–> fats —> fatty acids and glycerol
PANCREAS
trypsinogen
protease —> proteins —> polypeptides —> peptides
SMALL INTESTINE
walls of small intestine produce
intestinal juice
SMALL INTESTINE
intestinal juice contains
erepsin
enterokinase
SMALL INTESTINE
erepsin
protein digestion is complete
protein–> amino acid
PANCREAS
steapsin only acts when
emulsification of fats takes place first
PANCREAS
pancreatic ducts produces
alkaline secretion
SMALL INTESTINE
adaptions for absorption
- villi and microvilli provide large surface area for absorption of food substances
- mucosa layer provides a large surface area
- mucus lining circular folds provides large surface area
