KNES 260 – Digestive Physiology Unit Study Guide
Chapter 24 (with a bit from Chapter 25)
- 16 Questions for this section
The Highlight Reel (things to focus on):
Chapter 24:
The enzymes and final products of carbohydrate digestion
The enzymes and final products of protein digestion
The enzymes and final products of fat digestion
The hormones involved in digestion
The structures of the alimentary canal and accessory organs
Functions / secretions of the liver and pancreas
Main functions of the stomach, small intestine and large intestine
Do NOT focus on gastro-intestinal diseases – the only ones to know are: gallstones,
acid reflux, ulcers, and cirrhosis
Study Questions:
What enzyme digests starch?
1. Amylase:
From salivary glands — acts in mouth (starts breaking down in mouth)
From pancreas — acts in small intestine
2. Lactase:
From small intestine — acts in small intestine
3. Maltase:
From small intestine — acts in small intestine
Digestion starts in mouth, inactivated in stomach, reactivated in small intestine
Name the enzymes used in protein digestion.
1. Pepsin:
Starts in stomach
breaks down proteins to polypeptides
stops working in small intestine
triggers release of Trypsin from pancreas

2. Trypsin/Chymotrypsin:
From pancreas — acts in small intestine
3. Carboxypepstdase:
From pancreas — acts in small intestine
breaks down polypeptides to dipeptides
4. Aminopeptidase:
From pancreas — acts in small intestine
break down polypeptides to dipeptides
5. Dipeptidases:
From small intestine
breaks down dipeptides to amino acids
Where does protein digestion begin? Where does starch digestion begin?
Protein: in the stomach
Starch: in the mouth
What enzyme digests fats?
1. Lipase:
From pancreas — acts in small intestine
Bile works as an emulsifier NOT an enzyme, to break down fat into smaller chunks — to
increase surface area
What are the final products in starch digestion? Protein digestion? Fat digestion?
Starch Digestion: glucose
Protein Digestion: amino acids
Fat Digestion:
Glycerol — goes into blood
Fatty Acids — goes into lymph, then into blood
How are fatty acids absorbed into the blood?
They go into lymph then are sent into the blood

Document Summary

Knes 260 digestive physiology unit study guide. Chapter 24 (with a bit from chapter 25) Do not focus on gastro-intestinal diseases the only ones to know are: gallstones, acid reflux, ulcers, and cirrhosis. What enzyme digests fats: lipase, from pancreas acts in small intestine, bile works as an emulsifier not an enzyme, to break down fat into smaller chunks to increase surface area. Fat digestion: glycerol goes into blood, fatty acids goes into lymph, then into blood. They go into lymph then are sent into the blood. Where does most of the absorption occur? the small intestine. The villi and microvilli increase surface area for absorption the mouth (chewing) also increases surface area. What functions does the stomach have: storage: stores food until small intestine is ready to digest. Secretes mucus to line the stomach to protect stomach wall. Why do some people get heartburn? because of a faulty valve letting acid seep into the esophagus.
