Bile
A.
Stored in the gall bladder, yellow-green colour. Derived from the breakdown of hemoglobin. Contains bile salts derived from cholesterol. Emulsify fats, breaks it into droplets providing a larger surface area.
B.
Rhythmic muscular contractions that push food along the digestive tract
C.
Almost always fatal because of the essential functions of the pancreas. Pancreas is resistant to disease treatment and allows spread to other organs.
D.
proteins that speed specific chemical reactions.
E.
Yellowing in the whites of the eyes, and skin. Can be caused be large amount of bilirubin the the blood (pigment from bile)
F.
fat droplets + H2O -> glycerol + 3 fatty acids
G.
Chronic diarrhea. Persistent inflammation of the intestine, resulting in abdominal cramping. Caused by misdirected immune response against one's own intestinal tissues
H.
Clusters of alpha cells (produce glucagon), beta cells (produce insulin), delta cells (produce somatostatin)
I.
Produced in the small intestine, acts in the small intestine, optimum pH is basic, turns nucleotide to bases, sugar and phosphate
J.
Exocrine function, producing pancreatic juice (containing bicarbonate that neutralizes chyme). Endocrine function, creates insulin and glucagon to keep blood glucose at normal limits.
K.
Cecum, colon, and rectum. Absorbs water, salts, and vitamins. Stores indigestible materials until it can be released as feces
L.
May be caused by increased consumption of dietary fat. Certain bacteria may convert bile salts into substances that promote development of cancer
M.
The soft palate closes off the nasopharynx and the epiglottis covers the glottis, forcing the bolus to enter the esophagus
N.
Stimulated by high blood glucose, amino acid levels, produced by the pancreas, cells in the stomach, small intestine. Acts on digestive tract to reduce absorption of nutrients. Suppresses the release of insulin and glucagen. Inhibits growth hormones
O.
7.4-7.8
P.
protein + H2O -> peptides
Q.
Produced by the pancreas, acts in the small intestine optimum pH is basic, turns proteins to peptides
R.
2 to 6 hours
S.
Dry and hard feces. May be because the person inhibits the defecation reflex. Can lead to development of hemorrhoids. Can be reversed by increasing intake of water and fiber
T.
When the thick mucus layer of the stomach is broken down, and the stomach wall is damaged by stomach acid. An open sore in the wall. Usually initiated by infections that affect the ability of mucus cells. Treatment is antibiotics
Type the Definition that corresponds to the displayed Term.
incorrect
21.
pH of the stomach
Type the Term that corresponds to the displayed Definition.
incorrect
22.
Produced in the pancreas, acts in the small intestine, optimum pH is basic, turns RNA and DNA to nucleotides
incorrect
23.
Opens at the anus where defecation occurs
incorrect
24.
Receives both air and food passes bolus from moth to esophagus
incorrect
25.
Many different enzymes break down macro molecules to small organic molecules that can be absorbed
incorrect
26.
Inflammation of pancreas. May be caused by alcohol, gallstones that block the pancreatic duct. In chronic cases, digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas damage pancreas and surrounding tissues. May cause diabetes by inhibiting insulin secretion.
incorrect
27.
Inflammation of the lining of the abdominal cavity, can lead to death
incorrect
28.
Passageway from the pharynx to the stomach, muscular tube that is normally collapsed.
incorrect
29.
line the stomach, has millions of gastric pits, which lead to gastric glands
incorrect
30.
Muscles that encircle tubes in the body
