LESSON #3: PANCREATIC ENZYMES Flashcards
What are the two pancreatic enzymes
Amylase and lipase
There are many other enzymes produced by the pancreas but only _____ and _____ are tested in the laboratory
Amylase and lipase
hormones (produced directly to the bloodstream)
Endocrine
enzymes (exit in the pancreatic duct)
Exocrine
Amylase is breakdown of _____ and ______ to monosaccharides
starch and glycogen
Activators of amylase
calcium and chloride
- 11,4 D Glucan Glucanohydrolase
Amylase
How can amylase break it down?
AMS target is the _________
1,4 glycosidic bond
Bet amylase cant be found in humans only in _________ and _________
plants and microorganisms
salivary AMS or ptyalin
Salivary glands
Pancreatic AMS
Acinar cells
Amylase properties
MW: ___________ - _________
Readily filtered by the __________
MW: 50,000-55,000

Can we measure amylase in the urine?
Yes, because it was not reabsorbed in the tubules then the amylase will combine with the urine

Mouth
Final digestion by pancreatic amylase
