        Help!  

Question
Answer
show The physical breakup of fats in the digestive tract, forming smaller droplets accessible to digestive enzymes; normally the result of mixing with bile salts.  
🗑
bile salts   show
🗑
show mucous glands characteristic of the cardia of the stomach.  
🗑
show Brought closer to threshold, as in the depolarization of a nerve cell membrane toward threshold; making the cell more sensitive to depolarizing stimuli.  
🗑
renin   show
🗑
show Mucus-secreting salivary glands inferior to the tongue.  
🗑
parietal cells   show
🗑
show The vessel that carries blood between the intestinal capillaries and the sinusoids of the liver.  
🗑
show A tubular epithelial pocket that is lined by secretory cells and opens into the lumen of the digestive tract; also called intestinal gland.  
🗑
show The S-shaped 18 cm long portion of the colon between the descending colon and the rectum.  
🗑
show The proximal 25cm of the small intestine that contains short villi and submucosal glands.  
🗑
dehydration   show
🗑
lingual frenulum   show
🗑
show Organic compounds whose chemical structure can be summarized as R - CHNH2- COOH.  
🗑
uvula   show
🗑
liver   show
🗑
show An enzyme that breaks down milk proteins.  
🗑
fundus   show
🗑
pharynx   show
🗑
show A pair of small laryngeal cartilages.  
🗑
show Concentric layers of smooth muscle responsible for peristalsis.  
🗑
autonomic nervous system (ANS)   show
🗑
sinusoid   show
🗑
mucosa   show
🗑
chymotrypsinogen   show
🗑
show Mucosal folds in the lining of the empty stomach that disappear as gastric distension occurs.  
🗑
show An intracellular vesicle containing digestive enzymes.  
🗑
show A fold of mucous membrane that guards the connection between the ileum and the cecum.  
🗑
show Endocrine cells scattered among the epithelial cells that line the digestive tract.  
🗑
show The duodenum, jejunum, and ileum; the digestive tract between the stomach and the large intestine.  
🗑
show Mucous glands in the submucosa of the duodenum; also called Brunner's glands and duodenal glands.  
🗑
show Single-celled microorganisms; some pathogenic, that are common in the environment and in and on the body.  
🗑
show A sheet of mesentery that contains the ligamentum teres, the fibrous remains of the umbilical vein of the fetus.  
🗑
show A duodenal hormone released when the arriving chyme contains large quantities of carbohydrates; triggers the secretion f insulin and a slowdown in gastric activity.  
🗑
submucosa   show
🗑
show A digestive organ containing exocrine and endocrine tissues; the exocrine portion secretes pancreatic juice, and the endocrine portion secretes hormones, including insulin and glucagon.  
🗑
greater omentum   show
🗑
taeniae coli (TE-ne-e KO-li)   show
🗑
show A hormone produced by enteroendocrine cells of the stomach, after exposure to mechanical stimuli or stimulation of the vagus nerve, and of the duodenum, after exposure to chyme that contains undigested proteins.  
🗑
show swallowing  
🗑
show Bony material that covers the root of a tooth and is not shielded by a layer of enamel.  
🗑
show The medullary nucleus that controls the secretory activities of the salivary glands.  
🗑
show The gastric region between the body of the stomach and the duodenum; includes the pyloric sphincter.  
🗑
show an essential organic nutrient that functions as a coenzyme in vital enzymatic reactions.  
🗑
esophagus   show
🗑
duodenal ampulla   show
🗑
systemic circuit   show
🗑
show A terminal lymphatic within an intestinal villus.  
🗑
mesentery   show
🗑
