removes debris and microorganisms
provides antibacterial actions
neutralizes, dilutes and buffers bacterial acids
remuneration
prevents plaque accumulation
ease of speech
mucin
glycoprotein that lubricates food and protects the lining of the gastrointestinal tract
ptyalin (amylase)
enzyme that initiates hydrolysis of complex carbs to simple sugars
lysozyme (antibody )
enzyme that breaks down cell wall of some ingested bacteria
gastric secretions
mucus, hydrochloric acid,enzumes,intrinsic factor
pH of stomach benefits
approx. pH 1.5-3.0
kills or inhibits growth of most food bacteria
dentures proteins &facilitates hydrolysis to amino acids
hydrolyzed some carbs
increases solubility &absorption of CA &Fe
Pepsinogen
produced by chief cells
capable of hydrolyzing large protein molecules into smaller fragments
parietal cells
release hydrochloric acid
intrinsic factor
essential for absorption of vit B12 in small intestines
gastric lipase
involved in digestion of short & medium chain triglycerides
pancreatic amylase
breaks down carbs
protein digested by
trypsin,chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase
lipase
digests fat
bile
produced by liver stored in gallbladder

allows insoluble molecules to be divided into smaller particles (emulsification)

synthesize vit K,B12,thiamin,riboflavin
boost immune system
inhibit pathogenic bacteria
3 gluten conditions
ciliacs disease
wheat allergy
gluten sensitivity
celiacs disease
