What is the role of Villi? Where can they be found? - ANS ✓-Absorbs small nutrients
molecules from the digestive tract
-it only absorbs, carbs and proteins once broken down into the smallest possible units.
-found only in the small intestine mucosa
What organ makes bile? How? - ANS ✓Liver and it uses broken down RBC's and the
chemicals secreted from lysis to it's storage unit (gallbladder)
What is the role of sodium bicarbonate? - ANS ✓Neutralizes chyme from the stomach,
providing for optimal pancreatic function (produced in pancreas)
What is the mechanical function of digestion? - ANS ✓Breakdown of nutrients
What is the process involved in the small intestine? - ANS ✓Absorption of nutrients
What structure is primarily responsible for the digestion of proteins? - ANS ✓Stomach
What structure starts with the digestion of carbohydrates? - ANS ✓Mouth

What structure is primarily responsible for the absorption of carbohydrates and proteins? -
ANS ✓Villus capillary (villi) (found in small intestine)
What hormone activates the stomach? - ANS ✓Gastrin (exocrine)
What hormone activates the gallbladder? - ANS ✓Cholecystokinin (exocrine)
What hormone activates the small intestine? - ANS ✓Secretin (exocrine)
What Hormone lowers blood sugar? - ANS ✓-Insulin (endocrine)
-secreted by beta cells
What hormone increases blood sugar? - ANS ✓- glucagon (endocrine)
-secreted by alpha cells
What are the 2 components of metabolism? Define Each. - ANS ✓-Catabolism: Break down
into smallest possible units (BREAKS SHIT UP)
-Anabolism: builds up by forming peptide bonds. (ADDS SHIT UP) End product involves
cellular respiration that end in carbon dioxide. Requires energy
What re the 2 processes of catabolism? - ANS ✓-Anaerobic
-Aerobic
Anaerobic: - ANS ✓-Without O2
