Chemical And Physical Digestion

Front 1

Enzymes

Back 1

Large protein molecules produced by body cells, considered biological catalysts and increase the rate of run w/ out becoming part of the product.

Front 2

Substrate

Back 2

the molecule on which enzymes act are organic food molecules which they break down by adding water to the molecular bonds, thus cleaving the bonds between the subunits or monomers.

Front 3

Hydrolases

Back 3

Hydrolases are hydrolytic enzymes, biochemical catalysts that use water to cleave chemical bonds, usually dividing a large molecule into two smaller molecules. Examples of common hydrolases include esterases, proteases, glycosidases, nucleosidases, and lipases.

Front 4

Tryspin

Back 4

An enzyme produced by the pancreas, hydrolyzes proteins to small fragments.

Front 5

pancreatin

Back 5

an enzymatic product of the pancreas which includes enzymes that digest proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and fats.

Front 6

pancreatic lipase

Back 6

hydrolyzes fats and oils to their component monoglycerides and two fatty acids.

Front 7

deglutition

Back 7

also known as swallowing and is largely the result of skeletal muscle activity and occurs in two phases. 1. buccal (mouth) and 2. pharyngeal-esophageal. Buccal is voluntary and initiated by the tongue and the larynx is involuntary.

Front 8

segmentation

Back 8

local constrictions of organ wall that occur rhythmically, and serve mainly to mix the food stuffs w/ digestive juices and to increase the rate of absorption by continouly moving different portions of the intestinal wall.

Front 9

Peristaltic movements

Back 9

major means of propelling food through most of the digestive viscera essentially through waves of contraction and then waves of relaxation and squeeze stuff through the alimentary canal.

Front 10

Bile

Back 10

It is a secretory part of the liver, but it is not an enzyme. It is important to fat digestion.
