What organ sends enzymes via duct in an alkaline fluid into the duodenum?
The pancreas sends enzymes in the alkaline pancreatic juice into the duodenum.
Why is it important for the pancreas to release bicarbonate into the small intestine?
It is important for the pancreas to release bicarbonate into the small intestine because the pancreatic fluid flows into the small intestines. The pancreatic fluid consists of enzymes that chemically digest chyme and contains bicarbonate which neutralizes the acid in chyme. So in order for the stomach to chemically digest the food it has to have the pancreatic fluid.
Are the principal ions in extracellular fluid sodium and chloride and bicarbonate?
YES!
Which duct carries a fluid rich in bicarbonate ions?
pancreatic duct
What catalysts are present in digestive fluid?
Enzymes
Which substance neutralizes stomach acid as chyme enters the small intestine?
Bicarbonate is the secretion that neutralizes stomach acid as chyme enters the small intestine. Bicarbonate is necessary because chyme is highly acidic. Bicarbonate is created in the pancreas.
What fluid begins chemical digestion?
enzymes in the saliva
What organ secretes buffers needed to neutralize the acidity of chyme and also secretes digestive enzymes?
Cells that line the stomach produce gastric acids. The other cells found in the stomach are also the ones that produce a fluid called a bicarbonate, which is a base, to neutralize stomach acid.
What happens when the pH of the extracellular fluid declines?
the enzymes change
What organ produces enzymes hormones and an alkaline fluid?
pancreas
The small intestine is protected from the corrosive action of hydrochloric acid in chyme by what?
bicarbonate-rich fluid
What secretes a fluid into the moth that contains digestive enzymes?
I want a rainbow zebra.
