191919506 | Gastric Juice | Digestive fluid, located in stomach, [HCl + Pepsin]. | |
191919507 | Pepsin | Enzyme that breaks down proteins in the stomach. | |
191919508 | Pepsinogen | Inactive form of Pepsin, HCl needed to activate. | |
191919509 | HCl | Breaks down most things, kills lots of bacteria. | |
191919510 | bicarbonate fluid | Neutralizes the extreme acidity of stomach acid, made in pancreas. | |
191919511 | amylase | Enzyme in Saliva - breaks down carbohydrates. | |
191919512 | Protease | Enzyme that breaks apart proteins. | |
191919513 | Trypsin | Protease - made in pancreas. | |
191919514 | Chymotrypsin | Protease- made in pancreas. | |
191919515 | Lipase | Digests fats - made in pancreas. | |
191919516 | Pancreatic Amylase | Digests starch - made in pancreas. | |
191919517 | Aminopeptidase | Protease - made in small intestine. | |
191919518 | Maltase | Breaks disaccharides - made in small intestine. | |
191919519 | Lactase | Breaks disaccharides - made in small intestine. | |
191919520 | Chyme | Mixture of food, water and gastric juices made in stomach. | |
191919521 | Bile | Breaks fat into smaller droplets [made in liver, stored in gall bladder]. | |
191919522 | cholecystokinin | Stimulates gall bladder to release bile and pancreas to release enzymes. | |
191919523 | intracellular digestion | within cell digestion, ex. paramecium | |
191919524 | gastrovascular cavities | empty spaces in an organisms where digestion occurs and food is absorbed, ex. hydra | |
191919525 | alimentary canal | tube through body with two openings..the mouth and the anus | |
191919526 | esophagus | tube connecting mouth to the stomach | |
191919527 | cardiac orifice | the circular muscle between the esophagus and the stomach | |
191919528 | peristalsis | contraction of smooth muscle used to push food through alimentary canal | |
191919529 | bolus | ball of food formed in the mouth by the tongue and saliva | |
191919530 | pyloric sphincter | circular muscle between the stomach and small intestine | |
191919531 | gall bladder | stores bile from liver and sends to small intestine when receives cholecystokinin | |
191919532 | gastrin | sent from stomach, to bloodstream, back to stomach to signal release of HCl and pepsinogen | |
191919533 | enterogastrone | sent from small intestine to stomach to slow down peristalsis | |
191919534 | secretin | sent from small intestine to pancreas to signal the release of bicarbonate | |
191919535 | zymogens | inactive forms of enzymes such as trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen and procarboxypeptidase | |
191919536 | procarboxypeptidase | precursor to carboxypeptidase...an enzyme that breaks down proteins starting from carboxyl end | |
191919537 | trypsinogen | precursor to trypsin activated by enteropeptidase | |
191919538 | trypsin | enzyme that breaks down polypeptides and activates chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypeptidase and trypsinogen | |
191919539 | emulsify | makes big globs of lipids into smaller globs | |
191919540 | lipase | enzymes released from pancreas to break down lipids | |
191919541 | acid chyme | ball of food, enzymes and gastric juices produced in the stomach | |
191919542 | pancreas | produces amylase, dissacharidases, bicarbonate ion to release to small intestine | |
191919543 | pharynx | "throat"...before esophagus, swallowing triggers epiglottis to cover trachea so food goes down esophagus | |
191919544 | extracellular digestion | digestion takes place outside the cell...mammals, birds, worms, hydra | |
191919545 | enteropeptidase | activates trypsinogen into trypsin, enclosed in membrane in lining of small intestine |
