Bile

inactive form? 1. What is the role of pepsin? Why is it secreted in an inactive form? Ans: pg. 902, 904 – a) break peptide bonds between amino acids; b) in the inactive form pepsinogen, it cannot digest the proteins in the chief cells that produce it 23. What are the functions of gastric lipase and lingual lipase in the stomach? Lingual lipase aids in hydrolyzing (breakdown) triglycerides into fatty acids and diglycerides while Gastric Lipase hydrolyzes (breakdown) triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. 24. Describe the duct system connecting the pancreas to the duodenum. The common bile duct (which carries bile from the liver and gallbladder) and the main pancreatic duct (which carries pancreatic juice from the pancreas) joined together to form the hepatopancreatic ampulla, which opens into the duodenum to assist in digestion. The flow of bile and pancreatic juice into the duodenum is controlled by the sphincter of Oddi (muscular valve). 25. What are pancreatic acini? How do their functions differ from those of the pancreatic islets (islets of Langerhans)? The pancreatic acini are the functional part of the exocrine pancreas. It manufactures and produce digestive enzymes. The functional difference between the pancreatic acini and pancreatic islets is that pancreatic acini secrete digestive juices while pancreatic islets secrete digestive hormones 26. What are the digestive functions of the components of pancreatic juice? Pancreatic juice…

Gallstones are not that unordinary. They happen to numerous individuals around the globe. Be that as it may, don't give up, there is something the Chinese thought about and now they have imparted to the world. Our gallbladder is a 4 inches organ with the type of pear.

gastric mucosa and is physically turned into chyme. Peristalis starts near the gastroesophageal sphincter causing the stomach wall to ripple. Small amounts of chyme filter through the pyloric valve via a back and forth pumping action. Depending on the size and contents of the meal the stomach empties chyme into the duodenum within four to six hours. As chyme enters the duodenum, receptors in the wall signal an inhibiting mechanism for acid and pepsin secretion. When fatty chyme enters the…

Gallstones are formed when a chemical imbalance in the bile chemical makeup occurs and roughly effects about 10-15% of all Western adults.4 In the human body, the gallbladder produces bile which is made up of components of not only bile salts and phospholipids but also cholesterol. When the liver secretes an excessive amount of cholesterol or an increase consumption of salt and water, build up of cholesterol occurs in the gallbladder forming a gallstone. Often, gallstones are small enough to…

Dear Sir or Madam, Situated in the abdomen of vertebrates, and involved in many metabolic processes, I for one Liver, remain the second-largest organ. I perform numerous processes assisting with digestion, metabolism, immunity, including the storage of nutrients. I’m a glandular organ divided by openings.

The primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a condition that affects the liver and destroys the bile duct in the liver. Bile is a fluid that plays an important role of digesting foods and help to get rid of the toxins in the body (MayoClinic, 2014). Sodium concentration requires to be tested in order to identify any abnormal concentration of sodium. In the case study, the patient’s sodium level was 121 mmol/L but her TC value was 322 milligrams per deciliter (Farooqi & Hashim. 2015). The normal range…
