The final digestion of the disaccharides known as maltose, lactose and sucrose into monosaccharides occurs in the wall of the intestine. PROTEIN DIGESTION Movement of materials against the intestinal wall brings them in contact with aminopeptidase’s, dipeptidases, and other peptidases, which break the...
It occurs in the duodenum due to the acidic chyme that enters the small intestine. Another area for peptic ulcer is between the stomach and the esophagus due to reflex of stomach content that contains acids. Other possible area is the stomach and the jejunum if surgery was use to connect ...
Salivary stones form when the minerals in saliva are allowed to cluster and crystallize into a hard deposit that blocks the passageways within the salivary gland or a salivary duct. The crystallization often occurs as the result of dehydration minimizing fluid in the saliva. ...
Rare forms of the disease include gastroduodenal Crohn’s, in which both the stomach and the beginning of the small intestine (duodenum) are affected, and jejunoileitis, which involves patches of inflammation in the upper half of the small intestine (jejunum). Signs and Symptoms of Crohn’s ...

Chemical digestion of carbohydrates is initiated in the: a. mouth. b. stomach. c. small intestine. d. large intestine. What is the semi-digested food in the stomach called? Which of these processes occurs throughout most of the alimentary canal? a. Inge...
The stomach is the part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract where much of the digestion of food occurs. The stomach secretes many enzymes that help to break down food to make the food/nutrients more easily absorbed by later sections of the GI tract....
This is a congenital abnormality which occurs in neonates during their development in the mothers womb. Ring like pancreatic tissue surrounds the duodenum to cause obstruction. This occurs primarily due to the formation of bifid ventral pancreatic bud in the development of the foregut and midgut. ...
13. Is botulism contagious? No, botulism is not spread from person to person. It is contracted through exposure to the botulinum toxin. 14. Can botulism occur in wounds? Yes, wound botulism occurs when *Clostridium botulinum* spores infect a wound and produce the toxin. ...
This hypothesis relies on a simplified metabolic pathway analysis and on studies using pure fructose in comparison to pure glucose, a situation which rarely occurs in the American diet[29, 30]. Figure 1 Major metabolic pathways and flux of dietary glucose and fructose. P = phosphate. For ...
