Why would pancreatic lipase be active in both the mouth and the intestine?

Lipase is present in the stomach and the mouth so that fats are broken down. This allows the intestines to absorb the fats.

Name three organs where lipid digestion occurs?
Mouth, stomach, small intestineActually, lipid digestion only occurs in the small intestine. It does not occur anywhere else in the digestive tract.The enzyme which digests lipid is lipase. There are three types of lipase; lingual, gastric, and pancreatic. lingual is found in the mouth, gastric is found in the stomach, and pancreatic is found in the pancreas. While most of this lipid is digested in the small intestine, digestion occurs in other areas as well. The previous answer is correct; digestion of lipids occurs in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine.
In which two regions of the gut does starch digestion take place?
Starch is broken down in the mouth, by salivary amylase; and in the small intestine, by pancreatic amylase.
The organ system that helps transport fats from the gastrointestinal tract to the blood in the cardiovascular system is the?
The digestion of fat begins in the mouth where the food you chew is mixed with a small amount of lingual lipase that is found in your saliva. Lingual lipase is a digestive enzyme that breaks fatty acids apart from triglycerides.Once you swallow your food, digestion continues in the stomach. A small amount of lipase is secreted into the stomach, but most fat digestion takes place in the small intestine.Your liver produces bile, which is stored in the gall bladder until it's triggered by eating foods that contain fat. Bile is released into the small intestine where it works like a detergent to emulsify the fats into smaller droplets. This makes it easier for pancreatic lipase to get to the triglycerides.
What is the order of movement through the digestive system?
- Mouth, chewing, and saliva; - Throat/esophagus; - Stomach & Stomach Acid; - Duodenum; - The Bile Duct and the Pancreatic Duct Join in the Duodenum; - Pancreas, Pancreatic Fluid and neutralizing of stomach acid; - Small Intestine performs the primary nutrient absorption; - Large Intestine primarily absorbs water, although, some of the bacteria in the intestine will produce vitamins including vitamin K and short chain fatty acids that are absorbed. - Rectum
Trace a piece of food from the mouth to the anus?
Mouth, pharynx, epiglottis, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
Where can lipase's be found?
Lipase may be found in a woman's breast milk. Lipase is an enzyme and is released by the pancreas and them goes into the small intestine.

Digestion begins in the?
Digestion of some fats can begin in the mouth where lingual lipase breaks down some short chain lipids into diglycerides. However fats are mainly digested in the small intestine. The presence of fat in the small intestine produces hormones that stimulate the release of pancreatic lipase from the pancreas and bile from the liver which helps in the emulsification of fats for absorption fatty acids.
Where does digestion of fats take place in our body?

Where is starch digestion completed?
In the jejunum of the small intestine just after the duodenum where pancreatic amylase is added. In the jejunum of the small intestine just after the duodenum where pancreatic amylase is added. In the small intestine; the first section called the duodenum.
Where does most of the breakdown of your food take place?
Digestion takes place mainly in the small intestine by pancreatic enzymes eg trypsin or pancreatic lipase. but also a small amount takes place in the stomach by stomach enzymes eg pepsin or gastric lipase. of the lipase's pancreatic lipase is far more important in digestion of fats that gastric lipase. note that small amounts of starch digestion also takes place in the mouth due to the actions of amylase which is found in saliva. This action is short lived as the amylase action is abolished by the low pH of the stomach. No digestion takes place in the large intestine (aka the colon) as this is mainly for absorption of water and electrolytes.
Where is the Amylase Enzyme located?
There are two types of amylase enzymes. Salivary amylase is known as ptyalin; act upon carbohydrates in the mouth. Ptyalin begins polysaccharide digestion in the mouth; the process is completed in the small intestine by the pancreatic amylase, sometimes called amylopsin.
What breaks up fat during digestion?
Various lipases break up fat. Some produced by the tongue (lingual lipase), a little lipase by the stomach but most by the pancreas (pancreatic lipase). Bile helps to break down fat into little pieces so that the lipases in the small intestine have more surface area to work on.
Where is amylase released?
The enzyme amylase is released in the mouth, referred as the salivary amylase, and in the duodenum of the small intestine by the pancreas, referred as the pancreatic amylase.
In which two regions of the gut does starch digestion take place?
Starch is broken down in the mouth, by salivary amylase; and in the small intestine, by pancreatic amylase.
What are the 4 regions of the digestive system that produce digestive enzymes?
# Mouth - amylase # Stomach - protease # Pancreas - lipase, carbohydrases, proteases # Small intestine - [ditto pancreas]
