| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The bony structure that forms the roof of the mouth is the | hard palate |
| Salivary glands | parotid, sublingual, submandibular |
| Salivary glands produce salivary amylase, which | begins the chemical breakdown of carbohydrates |
| The folds in the mucous membrane lining of the stomach are called | rugae |
| The circular muscle between the stomach and small intestine that keeps food in the stomach is the | pyloric sphincter |
| The enzyme in the stomach that begins the chemical breakdown of fats is | lipase |
| The first section of the large intestine is the | cecum |
| The walls of the small intestine are lined with fingerlike projections called | villi |
| The enzyme from pancreatic juice that acts on sugars is | amylase, or amylopsin |
| The enzymes maltase, lactase, and sucrase present in the intestinal juice act on | sugars |
| The organ behind the stomach that produces enzymes and the hormone insulin is the | pancreas |
| Functions of the large intestine are: | absorption of water and remaining nutrients, transportation of waste products and synthesis of vitamins by bacteria |
| The function of bile is to | emulsify fats and make them water soluble |
| A chronic destruction of liver cells accompanied by the formation of fibrous connective and scar tissue is | cirrhosis |
| The presence of gallstones in the gallbladder is | cholelithiasis |
| The major cause of a peptic or duodenal ulcer is | bacteria |
| Allow a person to taste sweet, salty, sour, and bitter sensations. | Taste receptors |

| Symptoms of an ulcer are | hematemesis and melena. |
| Prevents food from entering the nasopharynx during swallowing | uvula |
| What occurs when the pancreatic enzymes begin to digest the pancreas? | Pancreatitis |
| Chronic, long-term laxative use can cause | constipation. |
| Whar are available to help prevent both hepatitis A and hepatitis B. | Vaccines |
| Rhythmic, wavelike, involuntary movement of muscles that keeps food moving in a forward direction? | peristalsis |
| Sections of the small intestine. | duodenum, jejunum, ileum |
| stores sugar in the form of glycogen, stores iron and vitamins, produces heparin, produces bile, produces fibrinogen and prothrombin, produces cholesterol, detoxifies substances, destroys bacteria | functions of the liver. |
| Produces pancreatic juice with enzymes, and produce insulin | functions of the pancreas. |
| What happens to food while it is in the mouth | tasted, broken down physically by the teeth, lubricated and partially digested by saliva,and swallowed |
| What are pairs of salivary glands? | parotid, sublingual and submandibular are salivary glands |
| The enzyme in the stomach that begins the chemical beak down of fats is | lipase |
| Hydrochloric acid in the gastric juice is responsible for | killing bacteria, facilitating the absorption of iron and activating the enzyme pepsin |
| Intestinal juice produced by the small intestine contains the enzyme | lactase |
| A long, muscular tube that begins at the mouth and ends at the anus. | The alimentary canal |
| In the stomach, food is converted into a semifluid material called | chyme |
| The enzyme steapsin is also called | lipase |
| What is the storage area for indigestibles | rectum |
| When an internal organ pushes through a weakened area or natural opening in a body wall it is called | a hernia |
| What are two symptoms of an ulcer | hematemesis and melena |
| An accumulation of fluid in the abdominal peritoneal cavity is called | ascites |
| Painful dilated or varicose veins of the rectum and/or anus is called | hemorrhoids |
| Transmitted in food or water contaminated by the feces of an infected person | Hepatitis A |
| Transmitted by body fluids including blood, serum, saliva, urine, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk | Hepatitis B |
| Transmitted through contact with blood or body fluids | Hepatitis C |
| Structures that chew and grind food | teeth |
| Carries food from mouth to esophagus | pharynx |
| Muscular organ that contains taste buds | tongue |
| Carries food from pharynx to stomach | esophagus |
| Enlarged section of alimentary canal | stomach |
| Receives bile and pancreatic juice | duodenum |
| Final section of small intestine | ileum |
| Absorbs water and remaining nutrients | large intestine |
| Stores and concentrates bile | gallbladder |
| Glandular organ behind stomach | pancreas |
| Has ascending, transverse, and descending divisions | colon |
| After food is chewed and mixed with saliva, it is called | a bolus |
| Capillaries in villi absorb digested nutrients and carry them to the | liver |
| Pick up digested fats and carry them to the lymphatic system | lacteals |
| A small projection of the cecum is the | vermiform appendix |
| Some B complex vitamins and vitamin K are synthesized (formed) by bacteria in | the large intestine |
| The live produces | cholesterol |
| Two actions of hydrochloric acid in the stomach | kills bacteria and helps absorb iron |
| Two functions of saliva | lubricates mouth, moistens food |
| Major cause is a bacterium, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), that burrows into stomach membranes | ulcer |
| Condition characterized by frequent watery stools | diarrhea |
| Chronic destruction of liver cells accompanied by formation of fibrous connective scar tissue | cirrhosis |
| Inflammation of pouches or sacs that form in the intestine | diverticulitis |
| Severe inflammation of the colon with formation of ulcers and abscesses | ulcerative colitis |
| A condition in which enzymes begin to digest the pancreas | pancreatitis |
| A vaccine to prevent this disease is recommended for all health care workers | hepatitis B |
| Chronic disease that occurs when acid from the stomach flows back up into the esophagus | gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) |
| Inflammation of the mucous membrane that lines the stomach and intestine; commonly called stomach flu | gastroenteritis |
