- A. What is/are the primary role(s) of the large intestine? a. to complete enzymatic digestion and store indigestible material b. to initiate enzymatic digestion of carbohydrates and to store water c. to absorb water from digested material, with essentially no digestive role of its own d. to secrete water into the material that is left over after all available nutrients have been absorbed e. to digest fats A. In the intestine most nutrients are absorbed regardless of whether the body has an immediate need or shortfall of them; ie there is little control over amounts taken up – which of the following does not follow this rule? a. absorption of sodium b. absorption of water c.absorption of iron d. absorption of fat soluble vitamins e. none of the above follow this rule – close control is exerted over all of themarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about starch digestion is FALSE? a. It begins in the mouth. b. It occurs in the stomach. c. It requires the action of pancreatic amylase d. It requires brush border enzymes for completionarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true?a. Intracellular digestion commonly occurs in vertebrates.b. Absorption of nutrients always requires active transport.c. Alimentary canals have two openings, whereas gastrovascularcavities have only one.d.

- The normal mechanism of defecation involves:A. Stretch receptors located in the duodenum and jejunum initiate a long-lasting reflex that relaxes the internal anal sphincter several hours after food initially passes from the stomach to the intestines.B. Stretch receptors located in the rectal wall initiate the defecation reflex inresponse to an incoming mass movement.C. The defecation reflex involves contraction of the rectal wall and simultaneous relaxation of the internal anal sphincter.D. Digestive fluids secreted from the pancreas and gall bladder contain enzymesthat act on the smooth muscle of the intestine, stimulating peristalsis.E. Conscious signals from the cortex will allow for relaxation of the external anal sphincter (when appropriate!).arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about pepsin? a. Most pepsin is released directly from chief cells.b. Pepsin is most active at high pH.c. Pepsin is essential for protein digestion.d. Pepsin accelerates protein digestion.e. Pepsin accelerates fat digestion.arrow_forwardThere are several processes that take place from the moment food enters our mouth until it is completely digested and used for energy. Using approximately 400-500 words, describe in detail and in order of process the mechanical (stomach and intestine)and chemical (gastric acid and enzymes) digestion of eating a grilled chicken sandwich with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomatoes. Note what role the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver play in digestion of the ingredients? From what ingredients is your body deriving its energy and how many basic calories from the macronutrients ingested? Include at least two scholarly references (using APA formatting and style) to guide your answers (note that you can use your textbook as one of your references).arrow_forward
