Which hormone is released by the duodenal mucous membrane to neutralize acidic chyme in the small intestine? A Secretin B Gastrin C Insulin D Glucagon Secretin
How does secretin contribute to digestion in the small intestine? A Stimulates the release of bile B Induces the release of bicarbonate ions in pancreatic juice C Activates pepsinogen D Increases hydrochloric acid secretion Induces the release of bicarbonate ions in pancreatic juice
Which enzyme in pancreatic juice is primarily responsible for breaking down proteins during digestion? A Trypsin B Amylase C Lipase D Maltase Trypsin
Which structure divides the liver into a large right lobe and a smaller left lobe? A Connective tissue B Fibrous capsule C Hepatic artery D Portal vein Connective tissue
What is the primary function of the sinusoids in the liver? A To store bile B To produce digestive enzymes C To detoxify substances D To nourish hepatic cells with nutrients To nourish hepatic cells with nutrients
What metabolic process in the liver involves the conversion of excess glucose into a storage form? A Production of glycogen from glucose B Oxidation of fatty acids C Deamination of amino acids D Synthesis of urea A Production of glycogen from glucose
Which of the following is NOT an function of the liver? A Stores glycogen B Produces bile C Breaks down glycogen into glucose D Store Bile Store Bile
What is the main function of Kupffer cells in the liver? A Phagocytosis of bacteria and foreign particles B Secretion of insulin C Storage of glycogen D Production of bile Phagocytosis of bacteria and foreign particles
Which component of bile is primarily responsible for its digestive function? A Bile pigments B Bile salts C Cholesterol D Electrolytes Bile salts
What is the primary function of the gallbladder? A Stores bile between meals B Produces bile C Converts bile into hormones D Detoxifies bile Stores bile between meals
How does the gallbladder contribute to digestion? A It secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum B It neutralizes stomach acid C It releases concentrated bile into the small intestine D It absorbs nutrients from bile It releases concentrated bile into the small intestine
Which duct connects the gallbladder to the common bile duct? A Cystic duct B Hepatic duct C Pancreatic duct D Ileal duct Cystic duct
What stimulates the release of cholecystokinin (CCK) during digestion? A Presence of carbohydrates B Presence of proteins C Presence of fat in chyme D High pH in the intestine Presence of fat in chyme
What role does the hepatopancreatic sphincter play in digestion? A Stores bile B Produces bile C Regulates flow of bile into the duodenum D Absorbs nutrients Regulates flow of bile into the duodenum
How does bile enter the duodenum? A Through the pancreatic duct B Directly from the gallbladder C Via the stomach D Through the hepatopancreatic sphincter Through the hepatopancreatic sphincter
What happens to the hepatopancreatic sphincter when cholecystokinin is released? A It contracts B It secretes bile C It produces enzymes D It relaxes It relaxes
What process breaks down fats in a way that increases their total surface area? A Emulsification B Osmosis C Fermentation D Photosynthesis Emulsification
Which enzyme is more effective after the emulsification of fat molecules? A Amylase B Pepsin C Lipase D Lactase Lipase
Which components enhance the absorption of fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins in the body? A Starch granules B Bile salts C Mineral salts D Hormones Bile salts
What results from a lack of bile salts in the human body? A Excessive protein synthesis B Increased blood sugar levels C Enhanced fat digestion D Poor lipid absorption and vitamin deficiencies Poor lipid absorption and vitamin deficiencies
Why is emulsification important in fat digestion? A It increases the surface area of fats for better enzyme action. B It breaks down proteins into amino acids. C It neutralizes stomach acid. D It converts carbohydrates into glucose. It increases the surface area of fats for better enzyme action.
What happens to bile flow when the gallbladder is removed? A Bile production stops completely. B Bile flows into the pancreas instead. C Bile accumulates in the liver. D Bile flows directly into the small intestine. Bile flows directly into the small intestine.
What are the three parts of the small intestine? A Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum B Ascending, Transverse, Descending C Cecum, Colon, Rectum D Pylorus, Antrum, Fundus Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum
Which function is NOT performed by the small intestine? A Complete digestion of nutrients in chyme B Absorb products of digestion C Transport residue to the large intestine D Secrete bile for fat digestion Secrete bile for fat digestion
What are the tiny projections on the inner wall of the small intestine called? A Intestinal villi B Microvilli C Cilia D Papillae Intestinal villi
Where are intestinal villi densest in the small intestine? A Ileum B Cecum C Duodenum and proximal portion of jejunum D Rectum Duodenum and proximal portion of jejunum
What type of epithelium covers each villus? A Stratified squamous epithelium B Pseudostratified epithelium C Transitional epithelium D Simple columnar epithelium Simple columnar epithelium
What do blood and lymph capillaries within the villi transport? A Absorbed nutrients B Oxygen and carbon dioxide C Hormones D Nerve signals Absorbed nutrients

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
