Digestive system

If an incision has to be made in the small intestine to remove an obstruction, the first layer of tissue to be cut is the ________. submucosa mucosa muscularis externa serosa The major stimulus for production of intestinal fluid is distention or irritation of the intestinal mucosa by hypertonic or acidic chyme. True False Choose the incorrect statement regarding bile. Bile functions to emulsify fats. Bile functions to carry bilirubin formed from breakdown of worn-out RBCs. Bile contains enzymes for digestion. Bile is both an excretory product and a digestive secretion. When we ingest large molecules such as lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins, they must undergo catabolic reactions whereby enzymes split these molecules. This series of reactions is called ________. mechanical digestion chemical digestion secretion absorption How are most nutrients absorbed through the mucosa of the intestinal villa? facilitated diffusion active transport driven directly or indirectly by metabolic energy simple diffusion bulk flow The solutes contained in saliva include ________. only salts and minerals mucin, lysozyme, electrolytes, salts, and minerals electrolytes, digestive enzyme, mucin, lysozyme, wastes, and IgA only proteases and amylase

Which of the following is not a factor that helps create the stomach mucosal barrier? tight junctions of epithelial mucosa cells replacing of damaged epithelial mucosa cells thick coating of bicarbonate-rich mucus rennin hich of the following is an essential role played by large intestine bacteria? synthesize vitamins C and D produce gas absorb bilirubin synthesize vitamin K and B-complex vitamins Correct The absorptive effectiveness of the small intestine is enhanced by increasing the surface area of the mucosal lining. Which of the following accomplish this task? the vast array of digestive enzymes the rugae Brunner's glands plicae circulares and intestinal villi A fluid secreted into the small intestine during digestion that contains cholesterol, emulsification agents, and phospholipids is ________. gastric juice intestinal juice pancreatic juice bile Jose is brought to the emergency room complaining of a burning sensation in his chest, increased salivation, and difficulty in swallowing. He is having difficulty breathing and feels the presence of a "lump in his throat." What is the diagnosis? Chronic bronchitis Emphysema Gastroesophageal reflux Myocardial infarction Angina pectoris The enzymatic breakdown of any type of food molecule is called ________. hydrolysis

active transport denatured diffusion Short-chain triglycerides found in foods such as butterfat molecules in milk are split by a specific enzyme in preparation for absorption. Which of the following enzymes is responsible? cholecystokinin rennin pepsin lipase Which of the following is not characteristic of the large intestine? It ________. exhibits external muscular bands called teniae coli has haustra does not contain villi is longer than the small intestine In addition to storage and mechanical breakdown of food, the stomach ________. is the first site where chemical digestion of starch takes place initiates protein digestion and denatures proteins is the first site where absorption takes place is the only place where fats are completely digested Which vitamin requires intrinsic factor in order to be absorbed? B12 K A C The capillaries that nourish the epithelium and absorb digested nutrients lie in the ________. muscularis mucosae adventitia lamina propria serosa Peristaltic waves are ________. pendular movements of the gastrointestinal tract waves of muscular contractions that propel contents from one point to another

segmental regions of the gastrointestinal tract churning movements of the gastrointestinal tract The pancreas has both an endocrine and an exocrine function. True False
