The salivary glands, pancreas, liver and gall bladder are considered accessory organs in the digestive system. They are not part of the digestive track but contribute to digestion.
List the accessory organ associated with each the following functions.
Produces bicarbonate to neutralize acidity as stomach contents enter the small intestine.
Stores and releases bile to aid in breakdown of fats.
Produces bile.
Produces enzymes that enter the small intestine and aid in digestion.
Moistens food
Produces salivary amylase
Produces hormones that regulate blood glucose levels.
Stores glucose as glycogen (a polysaccharide)
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
Hydrochloric acid makes an acidic environment in the stomach that promotes promotes polysaccharide digestion.
Lipase, produced by the pancreas, digests the emulsified fats into fatty acids.
Bile, synthesized by the liver and stored in the gall bladder, digests fats which will then be absorbed in the small intestine
The acidic environment converts the inactive pepsin into its active form: pepsinogen. Pepsinogen digests proteins in the stomach.
Which one of the following features does NOT make HDL a 'good' lipoprotein.
It acts as an apolipoprotein reservoir.
It transfers cholesterol from VLDL and LDL into the liver.
It picks up cholesterol from extra-hepatic tissues and brings it back to the liver.
