What else can I help you with?
The mixture of gastric juices and food that enters the small intestine?
chyme
Fat in the duodenum stimulates which hormone?
The original answer posted was Cholecystokinin, which is actually a peptide hormone that is released to inhibit gastric mobility. But it is not the first hormone to be released when fat or food initially contacts the duodenum.When Fat enters the duodenum, this accounts for the third phase of gastric secretion, called intestinal phase. This phase accounts for 5% of the total secretory response. It begins when food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine (duodenum). When the food first contacts the intestinal wall, it stimulates intestinal cells to release a hormone called, intestinal gastrin, that enhances gastric gland secretion.
Is gastric juice secreted by the liver?
No. Because bile, together with pancreatic fluid is secreted into the the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum. And bile secretions cannot pass through the pyloric sphincter, normally.
What is the first portion of the stomach that food enters in?
duodenum
Bile enters the gastrointestinal tract at the?
Bile enters the gastrointestinal tract at the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. It is released from the gallbladder and helps in the digestion of fats by emulsifying them.
Liquid food in the digestive tract that is partially digested?
Chyme is the term used to describe the liquid food mixture in the digestive tract that is partially digested. It is produced as a result of mechanical and enzymatic actions on food in the stomach and then passed into the small intestine for further digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Where does pancreatic juice enter the small intestine?
There is a site on the duodenum called Ampulla of vater where the common bile duct joins with the pancreatic duct and enters into the small intestine at the duodenum.
Why the pH rise as liquids move from the stomach into the duodenum?
The pH rises as liquids move from the stomach into the duodenum primarily due to the neutralization of gastric acid. The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, resulting in a highly acidic environment with a low pH. When chyme enters the duodenum, it is mixed with bicarbonate-rich pancreatic juices, which neutralize the acidity and raise the pH, creating a more favorable environment for digestive enzymes to function properly. This change is crucial for effective digestion and nutrient absorption.
The distal end of the common bile duct contains a sphincter that controlled the bile entering into the duodenum what is the sphincter called?
The sphincter at the distal end of the common bile duct that controls the flow of bile into the duodenum is called the sphincter of Oddi. This muscular structure regulates the release of bile and pancreatic juice into the small intestine, aiding in digestion. It opens in response to hormonal signals, particularly when food enters the duodenum.
When partially digested food leaves the stomach it next enters the?
it first passes through the duodenum
Which duct joins the common bile duct as it enters the duodenum at the ampulla of vater?
cystic duct
As chyme moves through the duodenum does it become more acidic or more alkaline?
When chyme first enters the duodenum from the stomach, it is acidic because of the gastric acid. Once in the duodenum, the chyme is exposed to pancreatic and brunner gland secretions which contain bicarbonate. The bicarbonate changes the pH of the chyme to neutral or slightly basic because the small intestine does not have the same protections against the hydrochloric acid as the stomach. Thus, the answer is that chyme becomes more basic as it moves through the duodenum.
