Muscular Movement of Mouth - ANSWER Mastication
Muscular Movement of Esophagus - ANSWER Upper Esophageal Sphincter (UES) Controls entry of food
bolus into esophagus
Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) Controls entry of food into stomach

,Nutrition Exam I: NUR1172 with 200
correct solutions.
Saliva - ANSWER Moistens food particles, releases lingual lipase (fat digestion)
Salivary Amylase - ANSWER Enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars in the oral cavity
Mucous - ANSWER Protects walls of stomach from hydrochloric acid
Chemical Digestion of Stomach - ANSWER Hydrochloric acid, mucus, enzymes
Hydrochloric Acid - ANSWER Creates an acidic environment for certain enzymes to work
Breaks down proteins and activates pepsin
Mucus - ANSWER Protects stomach lining from HCl- Binds and mixes food
Stomach Enzymes - ANSWER Pepsin breaks down proteins, activated by HCL
Food - ANSWER A mixture of chemical substances and nutrients
Major Functions of Digestive System - ANSWER (1) Received Food
(2) Releases nutrients from Food
(3) Delivers nutrients into the Blood
(4) Excretes non-digestible waste

Liver - ANSWER Creates Bile
Gallbladder - ANSWER Stores Bile
Pancreas - ANSWER Digestive enzymes, bicarbonate to neutralize chyme and store insulin
Absorption - ANSWER Process of taking molecules across a cell membrane and into cells of the body
Villi - ANSWER Lines the Gastrointestinal system
Brush Border - ANSWER Composed of microvilli that increase surface area
Cause of Heartburn - ANSWER Hydrochloric in the esophagus
Chyme - ANSWER Semi-fluid mass of partially digested food that is expelled by the stomach, through the
pyloric valve, into the duodenum
Bile - ANSWER -Aid in digestions of lipid in the small intestine, -Produced by the liver, stored in the
gallbladder
-Emulsifies (breaks down) fat and stores its digestion
- The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile
- Lipid breakdown would be slower if gallbladder is removed
Chemical Digestion of the Small Intestine - ANSWER Enzymes, Mucus, Hormones, Bile
Enzymes of the small intestine - ANSWER Certain enzymes act on specific macronutrients to bring their
final breakdown so the body can use and absorb them
