Front (Question)

digestion occurs in duodenum and jejunum, 2 phases

Back (Answer)

luminal, membranous

Front (Question)

Pancreas

Back (Answer)

member of 2 bodily systems- endocrine and digestive

Front (Question)

endocrine functions of the pancreaus

Back (Answer)

making and releasing insulin and glucagon (hormones)

Front (Question)

digestive functions of the pancreas

Back (Answer)

making and releasing digestive enzymes into the small intestine -starches, fats, protiens

Front (Question)

liver

Back (Answer)

makes bile to emulsify fats stores the bile in gall bladder intestines recongize when digesta contains lipids and stimulates the gall bladder to release bile

Front (Question)

horses dont have a gall baldder

Back (Answer)

they continusly release small amounts of bile directly into the small intestine

Front (Question)

luminal digestion

Back (Answer)

uses enzymes made by the pancreas and bile made by the liver breaks long chains into short chains

Front (Question)

membranous digestion

Back (Answer)

may be called “brush border digestion” breaks short chains into monomers uses enzymes made by the small intestine

Front (Question)

microbial digeston

Back (Answer)

used to digest cellulose and other fiber microbes do the digesting- fermentation-forestomach of ruminants, large intestine and cecum of hindgut fermenter, omnivores, carnivores

#10

Front (Question)

microbes digest the feed first and their metabolic by product is used for what

Back (Answer)

energy

#11

Front (Question)

parts of the microbes

Back (Answer)

bacteria- 60% protozoa fungi

#12

Front (Question)

anaerobic fermentation-

Back (Answer)

no oxygen

#13

Front (Question)

volatile fatty acids (VFA) result

Back (Answer)

acetate- 2-carbon chain propionate: 3-carbon chain butyrate: 4-carbon chain

#14

Front (Question)

VFAs may be used to make ________ or make _______ in the liver

Back (Answer)

ATP, glucose

#15

Front (Question)

glucose can then be used to make_______

Back (Answer)

ATP

#16

Front (Question)

starch digestion may begin in ______ for omnivores

Back (Answer)

mouth

#17

Front (Question)

most starches and sugars digested in __________________

Back (Answer)

small intestine

#18

Front (Question)

protien digestion begins in the _______ and completes in the _________

Back (Answer)

stomach, small intestine

#19

Front (Question)

digestion of lipids

Back (Answer)

more complex than starches, sugars or proteins lipids are larger molecules and are nonpolar- they will not easily mix with the digesta

#20

Front (Question)

lipid digestion and absorption steps

Back (Answer)

• Emulsificatio 2.Hydrolysis • Micelle Formation • absorption • reassembly

#21

Front (Question)

Emulsification

Back (Answer)

fats are warmed and mixed with bile salts

#22

Front (Question)

hydrolysis

Back (Answer)

lipase break triglyceride into 2 free fatty acids (FFA) and a monoglyceride

#23

Front (Question)

Micelle Formation

Back (Answer)

phospholipids make a transport vesicle

#24

Front (Question)

absorption

Back (Answer)

micelle enters the intestinal cells
