Human Digestive System

1,953 Questions

The human digestive system explores the breakdown of biomacromolecules, covering organs from the stomach to the small intestine. It involves physiological processes like chyme movement, pH levels, and nutrient absorption in the gut. These fundamental biology concepts are regularly featured in medical and general science competitive exams.

Explanation

The crypts of Lieberkuhn are simple, tubular structures which occur through out the small intestine and involved in th secretion of intestinal juice or succus entericus.

  2. Carbohydrate content of food

  3. Oil content of food

  4. Fat content of food

D Correct answer
Explanation

Any food that contains fat causes the gallbladder to release bile. The higher the fat content of the food or meal, the more bile is released.

Multiple choice
  1. secretion of succus entericus

  2. secretion of rennin

  3. secretion of ptylin

  4. digestion of food

A Correct answer
Explanation

The mucous amembrane of intestinal wall is a single layered eptithelium of tall columber cells with interspersed golbelt cells. Thee epithelial cells have microvilli. In between the villi the mucous membrane is profusely folded and the infolding form pit-like simple tubular intestinal glands or crypts of Leiberkuhn. These secrete the intestinal digestive juice called succus entericus. Rennin is component of gastric juice secreted from stomach. It secreted in form of inactive proenzyme called prorennin. It changes the soluble casein proein of milk into insoluble semifluid calcium paracaseinate.Saliva is secreted from salivary glands. The saliva contain ptyalin (salivary amylase) in mammals.
