Asked in Digestive System
Why are the differences in the pH of the mouth stomach and small intestine important for digestion?
The saliva need to be gentle enough at 7 pH to make foods small
enough to swallow safely. The stomach needs to have strong acidity,
at a 1 or 2 pH, to break down proteins into amino acids. The small
intestine is where almost all of the absorption of the smaller
portions are absorbed into the blood. The normal pH of the blood is
close to 7 so the pH of the small intestine is 7.4.

Asked in Intestines
What happens to the activity of pepsin when it enters the small intestine where the pH is 8?
Pepsin becomes inactive when it reaches the small intestine
where the pH is between 7 and 9. It functions best when in an
acidic environment like the stomach.

Asked in Intestines
What happens to pepsin activity as it reaches the small intestine?
When pepsin reaches the small intestine, its activity stops. The
small intestine has a basic pH of 8 thereby inactivating pepsin
which needs an acid environment to work in.

What is the normal pH level in the small intestine?
its usually about 2-3 I believe the pH to be around pH 6-6.5 for
the duodenum. The pH of the stomach is 1-3 so 2-3 is still
in the stomach. The small intestine is anywhere between 6-8 as the
pancreas dumps bicarbonate in.

Asked in Human Anatomy and Physiology
At what PH do digestive enzymes work best in the small intestine?
It's about 7.5, which means that it is slightly basic.
The stomach is acidic, so not only does the basic pH of the
small intestine allow the enzymes to function, but it also
counteracts with the acidity of the stomach.

Asked in Pancreas
What changes the pH in the small intestine?
The exocrine pancreas (the part of the pancreas that empties
into the small intestine) is the major component for raising pH
(decreasing free hydrogen ions). It contains bicarbonate ions that
neutralize the acid. In addition there are ion pumps in the wall of
the intestine. The Brunner's glands and pancreatic secretions.

Asked in Human Anatomy and Physiology
Why does enzyme pepsin denature in the intestine?
Pepsin has a optimum pH of 2, as found within the stomach. In
the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, the pH rises
to 7.6. This relatively high pH damages the tertiary structure of
the pepsin enzyme causing it to denature.

Asked in Human Anatomy and Physiology
If the pH of the small intestine changes will it harm you?
If the pH of your small intestine is abnormal, it can harm you.
Your intestines, liver, etc. can not assimilate important vitamins,
minerals and food supplements when the pH is higher or lower. If
the pH has too little alkaline, for example, it cannot heal itself,
leaving open internal and external wounds for extended periods of
time until alkaline is restored, which is difficult to do.
