T/F: an item with a low pH is acidic

true

mastication

chewing food or ____ makes it easier to swallow food increasing the surface area of the food, giving enzymes greater access to nutrients

choose the functions of intestinal bacteria

stomach

chyme is formed in theq

after food enters the stomach, what constricts closing the opening between the esophagus and the stomach?

lower gastroesophageal sphincter

____ are food components, such as dietary fiber, that are not broken down by human digestive enzymes, but are used as fuels by beneficial bacteria in the large intestine

prebiotics

a primary purpose of the villi is to increase the ____ of the small intestines in order to enhance absorption rates

surface area

liver

the hepatic portal vein takes water-soluble nutrients to the ____

stomach

the wall of the ____ is the thickest and strongest of the GI tract

small

almost all of the macro nutrients are digested and absorbed in the ____ intestine

the circulation of nutrients to the liver is via the ____ vein

hepatic

stomach

the acid in the ____ helps to activate digestive enzymes, makes proteins easier to digest, and kills many disease causing microorganisms.

____ is a process of absorption that requires energy and a carrier protein

active transport

which of the following are functions of the liver?

salivary glands- produce and secrete salivary amylase liver- produce and secretes bile gallbladder- release bile in duodenum pancreas- produce and secrete the majority of digestive enzymes

match the accessory organ with its function

the acidic environment of the stomach is beneficial in ____

- partially digesting protein - activating some digestive enzymes - killing disease causing microorganisms

match the section of the small intestine with its correct function

duodenum- bicarbonate is secreted here jejunum- absorption of nutrients occurs in the upper part ileum- minimal absorption occurs here

mouth- begins the chemical digestion of starch stomach- muscular sac that can hold up to 4 cups of food small intestine- major site of chemical digestion and absorption large intestine- elimination of waste products esophagus- transfer of food from mouth to stomach
