Proteins
This type of digestion is used in the oral cavity to begin protein breakdown.
What is mechanical digestion?
This enzyme in the mouth begins chemical digestion of carbohydrates.
What is salivary amylase?
The type(s) of mechanism(s) used to begin lipid digestion in the oral cavity.
Amino acids absorbed into the small intestine travel through blood vessels into this organ first.
What is the liver?
This stomach secretion stops salivary amylase activity.
What is HCl?
These substances are used to emulsify the fat droplets in the duodenum.
What are bile salts?
This stomach enzyme forms when pepsinogen meets HCL.
What is pepsin?
This pancreatic enzyme continues breaking down starch in the duodenum.
What is pancreatic amylase?
These tiny lipid/bile complexes deliver fatty acids and monoglycerides into enterocytes.
What are micelles?
These enzymes in the duodenum continue breaking down proteins into smaller pieces.
What are proteases?
This transporter uses sodium to bring glucose and galactose into enterocytes.
What is SLGT1?
This process is used to move fatty acids into the enterocyte.
What is diffusion?
This transporter moves the di- and tripeptides into the enterocyte.
What is PepT1?
After absorption, glucose travels through this vessel to reach the liver.
What is the hepatic portal vein?
This process is used to move chylomicron into the lacteal.
What is exocytosis?
