  1. Maltase

  2. Nucleases

  3. Nucleosidase

  4. Lipase

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  • Succus entericus contain enzymes like disaccharidases (maltase, lactase, sucrase, invertase), dipeptidases, lipases, nucleosidases. Nucleases is found in the pancreatic juice.
  • So the correct option is 'B'

A. Succus entericus
B. Pancreatic juice
C. Bile
D. Secretion of Brunner's gland

  1. B and C

  2. A, B and C

  3. B, C and D

  4. A, B, C and D

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Ampulla of Vater is also called as hepato pancreatic duct. It is formed by the union of the pancreatic duct and the common bile duct. Hence pancreatic juice and bile passes through it.
So, the correct answer is 'B and C'.

If mucus is not released as a part of secretion of Brunner gland, the pH of the

  1. Small intestine will decrease

  2. Stomach will remain same

  3. Larger intestine will decrease

  4. Small intestine will remain same

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Mucus released as a part of secretion of Brunner gland and bicarbonates from pancreas protects the intestinal mucosa from acid as well as provide an alkaline medium. if mucus is not released then the pH of the small intestine will decrease means acid nature in the small intestine will increases.

So the correct answer is 'Small intestine will decrease'.

Succus entericus is secreted by

  1. A) secretions of crypts of Lieberkuhm

  2. B) Brunner's gland

  3. C) both of these

  4. D) none of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Succus entericus which is also known as the intestinal juice is secreted by Crypts of Lieberkuhn which moderates the pH of acidic chyme come from the stomach and also contains various digestive enzymes that take part in the final digestion of carbohydrate, fat and protein,

So the correct option is ' secretions of crypts of Lieberkuhm'

Which cells of 'Crypts of Lieberkuhn' secrete antibacterial lysozyme?

  1. paneth cells

  2. Zymogen cells

  3. Kupffer cells

  4. Argentaffin cells

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Paneth cells are located at the base of the Crypts of Lieberkuhn in the small intestine. They secrete antimicrobial substances, including lysozyme, to regulate the gut microbiome.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The simple tubular gland are single, straight, tubular. Secretory cells line the entire duct, which open on the apical surface. 

Crypts of Lieberkuhn (intestinal glands) simple tubular glands that lie between the finger-like projections of the inner surface of the small intestine.

Which cells of 'Crypts of Lieberkuhn' secrete antibaterial lysozyme?

  1. Paneth cells

  2. Zymogen cells

  3. Kupffer cells

  4. Argentaffin cells

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Paneth cells are present in the mucosa between the bases of villi of small intestine (Crypts of Lieberkuhn). The function of these cells is to secrete antibacterial lysozyme.
