What is the relationship between gastric juices pepsin and mucus?
Pepsin is an enzyme secreted in the stomach to break down proteins. Mucus on the other hand is produced in the nasal passages to help trap dirt and bacteria. The mucus is then transported to the back of our throats and into our stomach by the process of swallowing... mmm, tasty. *** Mucus protects the stomach from the gastric juices and hydrochloric acid (HCI). Pepsin is produced by the chief cells, and is turned into pepsinogen (by the hormone gastrin produced in the brain). Pepsinogen helps break down proteins in your stomach.
What is the name of the inactive form of a protein splitting enzyme in the stomach?
pepsinogen
Which organ secretes HCI?
i think it migh be stomach
Can loperamide hci minimize stomach pain?
Loperamide hci is an over the counter medication that is used to treat diarrhea. There is potential that loperamide can reduce stomach cramps that are associated with diarrhea.
What enzymes perform major proteolytic activities in the digestive tract?
pepsin/pepsinogen in the stomach chymotrypsin/trypsin in the small intestine
What is the function of HCI?
coverts pepsinogen to pepsin Destroys bacteria
What produces HC1 and pepsinogen?
intestinal crypts
In the stomach HCI helps to catalyze the formation of pepsin from pepsinogen to do what task?
Pepsin is the enzyme that starts the digestion of proteins in the stomach. Specifically, it acts on proteins and breaks them into polypeptides
What is the function of intestinal crypts?
An intestinal crypt is a home to Paneth cells that secrete AMPs and control segregation.
What are the differences between pepsin and pepsinogen?
pepsinogen makes pepsin
What is the functiom of pepsinogen?
Pepsinogen is the precursor for Pepsin, an enzyme for the degradation of protein.
Gastrin secretes what?
pepsinogen (a precursor of pepsin) which helps humans digest, when activated by HCL.
Difference between phentermine and phentermine HCI?
theres a hci on it
What is the pH level in HCI?
a 10% solution of HCI's pH is 2
What is the zymogenic form of pepsin?
pepsinogen
What is the difference between pepsin and pepsinogen?
Pepsin is a powerful protein digesting enzyme which is far too dangerous in its active form so it is released in an inactive pepsinogen form by the cell and activated only in the digestive tract where it is required to be active.
How many elements are in hci?
HCI is Hydrogen (H), Carbon (C) and Iodine (I). Therefore, you have three elements in one molecule of HCI. Although, HCI is not balanced, so, that would actually be an ion, with negative charge.
