Process of mechanical digestion involving the esophagus
Ans: Peristalsis which is the involuntary contractions and relaxations of the
esophagus
Quiz Polysaccharides are hydrolyzed into dissacharides by what enzymes
Ans: Lipase
Quiz What hormone stimulates the release of bicarbonate from the pancreas
Ans: secretin
Quiz Cholecystokinin
, Ans: Stimulates the gall bladder to contract and send bile into the duodenum.
Quiz How is bicarbonate useful in the G.I tract

Ans: they are formed in the intestinal epithelium to transport long-chain

Quiz how does glucose move from the G.I tract into the circulatory system
Ans: specialized cellular transporters called sodium-dependent hexose transports
glucose across the cells that line the intestinal tract. Once glucose moves past the
intestinal line it dissolves in the blood and moves into the rest of the body.
Quiz Barrier to the absorption of glucose
Ans: intestinal epithelial cells
