Medullary cavity function?
The medullary cavity is a space within the diaphysis (shaft) of a long bone. It contains yellow bone marrow, which stores fats and serves as an energy reserve. Additionally, the medullary cavity provides space for blood vessels and nerves to pass through the bone.
Why would pancreatic lipase be active in both the mouth and the intestine?
Pancreatic lipase is not active in the mouth. It is produced by the pancreas and released into the small intestine where it helps break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol for absorption. Lipase activity in the mouth is limited as it requires a more neutral pH, which is found in the intestine.
Can glucose fats and proteins be respired to yield ATP?
Yes, glucose, fats, and proteins can be respired to yield ATP through cellular respiration. Glucose is the primary source of ATP, while fats and proteins can also be broken down and converted into ATP through different metabolic pathways such as beta-oxidation for fats and gluconeogenesis for proteins.
What is used in break down of fats and contains the enzyme catalase?
Hydrogen peroxide is used in the breakdown of fats and contains the enzyme catalase. Catalase helps to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, which can be useful in breaking down fats through the release of oxygen atoms.
Where do carbohydrates begin to break down fats?
Carbohydrates do not directly break down fats. Digestion of fats mainly occurs in the small intestine, where bile produced by the liver emulsifies fats to increase their surface area for enzyme action. Enzymes like lipase then break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol for absorption.
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.
What is the only macromolecule that gets digested enzymatically in the mouth?
There are two that begin to be digested in the mouth. Sugars by amylase and fats by lingual lipase.
How does the oral cavity fuction and only the oral cavity?
The oral cavity (mouth) grins up food into smaller pieces, the salivary glands add mucus (makes the food moist), the enzymes lipase and amylase to begin the break down of lipids (fats) and sugars. The glands also add lysozyme a weak antibacterial. The tongue also helps by moving the food around and helps in swallowing.
In what order do fats carbohydrates and proteins in a mouthful of food begin going through chemical digestion?
carbohydrates- 1st in mouth due to saliva proteins- 2nd in stomach due to enzymes fats- 3rd in small intestine due to bile
What happens to fats in butter when refridgerated?
The fats in butter become solid and firm when refrigerated.
What happens to fats as they pass through the duodenum?
As fats move through the duodenum,the pancreatic duct introduces bile and pancreatic juice.As fats are insoluble and cannot be digested,the bile salt surrounds the fats and make it make it becomes soluble and the fats can then be absorbed by the blood.
What are the role of mouth and in buccal cavity in the digestion of food?
The oral cavity with the teeth and tongue chew and mix food with saliva which has limited digestion of carbohydrates and lipids (amylase and lipase). The tongue is involved in secretion of mucins and the enzyme lingual lipase (breaks down some fats). The parotid salivary glands produce a serous secretion containing large amounts of salivary amylase (carbohydrates). The submandibular salivary glands secrete a mixture of buffers, glycoproteins called mucins, and salivary amylase. Both mechanical and chemical digestion occur in the buccal cavity (mouth).
WHAT happens to fats in the throat?
the can destroy it with their acid
What happens to fats as it passes through ileum?
In the ileum, fats are broken down further by enzymes released from the pancreas and bile salts produced by the liver. These smaller fat molecules are then absorbed into the bloodstream through the lining of the small intestine for use as energy or storage in the body.
Medullary cavity function?
The medullary cavity is a space within the diaphysis (shaft) of a long bone. It contains yellow bone marrow, which stores fats and serves as an energy reserve. Additionally, the medullary cavity provides space for blood vessels and nerves to pass through the bone.
Why the cookies put in the mouth start chewing the cookies became soft and soggy?
You salivate, and the warmth in your mouth is melting the fats and sugars.
