You need to read these questions sequentially. Each one leads to the next. - Most chemical digestion occurs in this organ. A. lipase - In order for chyme to enter that region it has to move through this sphincter. B. pyloric - But lipids are difficult to digest because they clump up to avoid the hydrophilic environment. So digestion of lipids has to begin with this process. C. gallbladder D. salivary gland - That can only occur if this mixes with the chyme. E. pancreas - However, that is only released if this duct opens. F. bile - Once the clumps of lipid are broken into smaller clumps, there's much more surface area for this enzyme to break these hydrophobic molecules down. G. hepatopancreatic H. emulsification - That enzyme tends to be made by this accessory organ for function at this digestive location. I. small intestine - This other accessory organ doesn't make anything, but it does reabsorb about a half a liter of water each day. J. cardiac

QUESTION 1 Lipids are broken down by bile and lipases into what? A. Trans fats B. Saturated fats C. Monoglycerides D. Triglycerides QUESTION 2 Which of the following is part of the neuroendocrine regulation of digestion? A. Activation of the Enteric Nervous System B. The release of hormones from accessory organs C. Protein activation of chemoreceptors in the stomach, which induces gastrin release D. All the above QUESTION 3 The pancreas releases: A. lipase B. chymotrypsin C. bicarbonate D. all the above QUESTION 4 Which of the following enzymes break down protein? A. Trypsin B. Amylase C. Gastrin D. All the above

5. Fats A. Chemical digestion of lipids occurs primarily in the small intestine. Before enzymes can break down fats like triglycerides (the most common type of fat in our foods), they must undergo emulsification. Describe the process of emulsification. Name the substance which performs this job. Name the organ that synthesizes this substance. Name the organ which stores and concentrates this substance. How does this substance get into the duodenum of the small intestine? B. After fats are emulsified, they are chemically digested. What is the general name for enzymes which digest fats? Name all of the organs which synthesize and secrete this enzyme into the digestive tract. C. Cholesterol is a type of fat. Why is it important to have some cholesterol in our diets? Why is it important not to have too much cholesterol in our diets? 6. Waste Production A. The large intestine AKA colon is the digestive organ which produces feces. Starting with the cecum and ending with the anus, name ALL parts of the large intestine in order. B. How does the large intestine convert liquid waste from the small intestine into solid waste to be eliminated from the body? C. Name 5 components of fecal matter. NOTE that the small intestine absorbs ALL of the digestible carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in our diets; thus, these nutrients must NOT be in your list.
