Question
Answer
What is the composition of saliva   Water, solutes, dissolved gases, organic substances,  
🗑
How much of the saliva is made up of water   99.5%  
🗑
What type of ions make up the saliva   Na, K, Cl, HCO3, phosphates  
🗑
What type of organic substances are found in the saliva   urea & uric acid, serum albumin & globulin, mucin, lysozyme, salivary amylase  
🗑
What is the pH of saliva   6.35-6.85  
🗑
What is the volume of saliva in ml/day   1000-1500; 1-1.6 qt  
🗑
What is the purpose of benedict's test   to test for the presence of reducing sugars (glucose), blue=neg, gold=positive  
🗑
What test tube colors indicate: starch + amylase, maltose, sucrose, lactose   green, gold, blue, gold (all are positive benedict's colors, and from least to greatest concentration of substance are green(+), yellow(++), orange(+++), red(++++) )  
🗑
Where is salivary amylase produced?   In the parotid gland  
🗑
What is the function of mucus   to lubricate food so it can easily be moved about in the mouth, formed into a ball, and swallowed.  
🗑
What is the function of lysozyme   helps to destroy bacteria and protect mucous membrane from infection and teeth from decay  
🗑
What is the function of parasympathetic stimulation   continuous secretion of a moderate amount of saliva  
🗑
What is the function of sympathetic stimulation   dominates during stress resulting in dryness of the mouth  
🗑
What does drinking do in dehyrdration   Not only moisten the mouth, but also restore the homeostasis of the body water  
🗑
What 2 parasympathetic nerves stimulate salivary secretion   VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal)  
🗑
What is Benedict's reagent   a copper reduction reaction; reducing substances react w cupric sulfate to form reduced cuprous oxide--> color change  
🗑
What is the optimum temperature for amylase activity?   37 degrees C, body temp  
🗑
What is a reducing sugar   an agent that will undergo an increase in oxidation number(lose e-) and reduce other substances  
🗑
What other ion aids in starch digestion besides amylase   Cl-  
🗑
Which of maltose, sucrose, and lactose are non-reducing sugars   sucrose  
🗑
Which of sucrose, maltose, and lactose have the most reducing sugars   lactose and maltose  
🗑
What is the optimal pH for starch digestion   7  
🗑
How does the pH for amylase activity compare with the pH of saliva, stomach, small intestines   saliva-has to be just right stomach-too acidic SI-a little too basic  
🗑
Where does carb digestion occur in the body   starts in the mouth, stomach, and most in the small intestines  
🗑
What ion in the saliva activates salivary amylase   Cl-  
🗑
what division of the ANS stimulates saliva secretion   parasympathetic  
🗑
What division of the ANS inhibits saliva secretion   sympathetic  
🗑
What enzyme in the saliva initiates carb digestion   amylase  
🗑
What is the role of water in the saliva   medium for dissolving for taste, initiate digestive rxns  
🗑
What are the roles of HCO3- and P ions   buffer acidic foods that enter the mouth  
🗑
If a starch is present what color will you see   a dark blue/black when reacts with iodine  
🗑
What is the purpose of the starch test? Is it qualitative, quantitative, or both?   to test for the presence of substrate of the reaction, qualitative only  
🗑
