Figure 34.11 Which of the following statements about the
- Chyme is a mixture of food and digestive juices that is produced in the stomach.
Introduction:
Digestive system is involved in the digestion of complex food substances into simpler ones with the alimentary canal and the glands associated with it.
Answer to Problem 1VCQ
Incorrect answer:
The incorrect answer is option (b) Food enters the large intestine before the small intestine.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the incorrect answer:
Option (b)Food enters the large intestine before the small intestine. Food enters the small intestine where the complete digestion of food occurs, it is assimilated and then the undigested food reaches the large intestine for the reabsorption of excess water from it and elimination of the waste material through the anus. So, the incorrect answer is option (b).
Explanation for the correct answer:
Option (a) chyme is a mixture of food and digestive juices that are produced in the stomach. In the stomach, the digestion of the food is associated with the secretion of the gastric juice containing the pepsin and HCl. The partially digested food and the gastric juice is called the chyme. So, this is a correct option.
Option (c) in the small intestine, chyme mixes with bile, which emulsifies fats. The bile produced by the liver mixes with the chyme leading to the emulsification of the fats. So, this is a correct option.
Option (d) the stomach is separated from the small intestine by the pyloric sphincter. Pyloric sphincter is involved in the regulation of the chyme movement from the stomach to the small intestine. So, this is a correct option.
Thus, the pathway of digestion begins in the mouth, followed by the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Hence, the incorrect answer is option (b) food enters the large intestine before the small intestine.

- Figure 34.12 Which of the following statements about the small intestine is false? Absorptive cells that line the small intestine have microvilli, small projections that increase surface area and aid in the absorption of food. The inside of the small intestine has many folds, called villi. Microvilli are lined with blood vessels as well as lymphatic vessels. The inside of the small intestine is called the lumen.arrow_forwardList the organs and accessory organs of the digestive system. On a separate piece of paper, list the main functions of each organ.arrow_forwardThe cephalic phase of digestion: is an immediate response to stomach distension begins when someone smells and initially tastes food. is inhibited by cholecystokinin and secreted from the small intestine includes the initial steps of chemical protein digestion All of the abovearrow_forward

Both a mouth and anus are present. It can be specialized for digestion in different groups of animals based on diet. A single opening functions in ingestion and eliminaton.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements concerning the large intestine is correct? Group of answer choices The ileocecal valve is the sphincter between the rectum and the anus It is responsible for the absorption of most of the water in the gastrointestinal tract The majority of nutrients are absorbed in the large intestines The mutualistic bacteria in the large intestine may provide some additional vitaminsarrow_forward
- Which of the following is NOT a regulatory mechanism for digestion? Only carbohydrates are digested in the oral cavity. Hormones are secreted at various stages of digestion pH of the digestive tract is altered by the release of bicarbonates to the GI tract. Enzyme activation is effected by autocatalysis of zymogens. Cells and different organ systems are involved in the digestion of foodstuffs.arrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes the process of peristalsis smooth muscle contractions that move food through the alimentary canal a common cause of loss of appetite, fatigue, and dehydration voluntary control of the rectal sphincters regulating defecation the transport of nutrients to the liver through the hepatic portal vessel a process of fat emulsification in the small intestinearrow_forwardMatch the following processes of the Digestive System to their specific description. Match each item to a choice: Choices: Defecation Digestion Secretion Mixing and propulsion Ingestion Absorption the process by which food material are mixed together and propelled within the GI tract. the process by which micro molecules from the process of digestion are absorbed within the small intestine. the chemical and mechanical process of degrading food material into small particles. the act of taking something (food, medicine, liquid, poison etc.) into the body through the mouth. the process by which undigested food particle are expelled out of the body. the process by which chemical enzymes are secreted by the Digestive System aiding Digestion.arrow_forward
