Common Bile Duct
from gall bladder to small intestine
The components of the small intestine
1. Duodenum - 10 inches
2. Jejunum - 8 to 10 feet long
3. Ileum - 10 to 12 feet
Function of Small Intestines
1. 90% of all digestion
2. 90% of all absorption
Functions of Liver
1. storage of glycogen (starch)
2. Detoxifies poison
3. destroy old RBC's
produces and destroys 2 million/sec
4. storage of iron
5. produce bile
biliruben
major bile pigment
hepatitis
inflammation/irritation of the liver
jaundice
presence of bile in the blood

* yellowish/orange color blood
What does the liver do to alcohol?
The liver tries to break it down to CO2 and H2O but if it cannot it stores it. Too much alcohol with destroy the epithelial cells. The cells will be replaces with DFCT which is non-functional. Over time this will cause cirrhosis and the person will eventually die.
what does vitamin D absorb?
calcium
gall stones
crystalized bile
Bovine insulin
cow insulin
Porcine insulin
pig insulin
Human Genome Project
taking gene from a cell and putting it in a bacteria b/c bacterias use 100% of their genes. then they multiple.
Insulin Pumps
monitor blood sugar level 24 hrs a day and give insulin when needed
Type II diabetes means what doesn't respond anymore?

what is the name of the process that changes chymotrypsingen to chymotripsin?
trypsin
what is the name of the process that changes procarboxypeptidase to carboxypeptidase?
trypsin
what are the two things in the small intestines that increase surface area?
plicae circulares and villi
lacteals
specialized lymphatic functions
what changes nucleases to nucleotides?
DNA & RNA

cellulose
in plant materials that makes them non-digestable
enterogatrone
hormone that ...
1. contraction of pyloric sphincter
2. inhibit gastric churning
cholecystokinin
hormone ... when fat enters SI, this is released and causes contraction of gall bladder and bile is released
pancreozymen
hormone ...
stimulate pancreas to release enzymes
secretin
hormone...
tells pancreas to release buffer
villikinin
hormone ... causes intestonal villi to move back and forth ... inhance digestion and absorption
