Textbook Question
Chapter 26, Problem 2CSL
A key event in the chemical digestion processes that occur within the stomach is the release of H+ and Cl− into the lumen of the stomach. Explain how the parietal cells of the gastric glands are able to produce HCl that is a million times more acidic than blood without destroying the cells themselves.

Explain how the parietal cells of the gastric glands are able to produce HCl that is a million times more acidic than blood without destroying the cells themselves.
Describe the main actions in the mouth, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine during lipid digestion and absorption.
Describe the substrate(s) and product(s) of each of the give major enzymes we discussed: lingual lipase, gastric lipase, pancreatic lipase, phospholipase A2, and carboxyl ester lipase.
Describe emulsification of lipids. Why does this need to happen for digestion and absorption to occur?
Describe how lipids are absorbed at the apical membrane.
Describe lipid transport in the enterocyte.
Describe lipid transport across the basolateral membrane and into circulation.
Define the brain-gut axis and give examples of how lipids impact.
Give examples of symptoms related to malabsorption of lipids.
Give examples of diseases/conditions involving malabsorption of lipids.
The catabolic enzyme alpha-amylase is active in some parts of the digestive system but not in others. What property of aqueous solutions controls its level of activity and how? If this property was out of the normal range in the areas of the digestive system where the enzyme is normally active, how would the catabolism of the substrate of alpha-amylase be affected?

A- Even if there isnt chyme in the duodenum, stomahc acid might leak into the duodenum. the trypsin in pancreatic juice neutralizes that B- We eat a lot, so we're always digesting food in the duodenum C - the process of fat breakdown is slow, so lipids could stay in the duodenum for over a day, so we need a steady supply of pancreatic lipase. D- Even if there isn't chyme in the duodenum, stomach acid might leak into the duodenum. The bicarbonate in pancreatic juice neutralizes thatarrow_forward
