Across
  1. 1. Chemical reaction by which glycogen is broken down into glucose to be released into the blood.
  2. 4. Becomes chymotrypsin, which digests proteins.
  3. 8. Type of pancreatic cell that secretes bicarbonate.
  4. 10. Enzyme produced by the duodenal brush border, converts trypsinogen into trypsin.
  5. 13. Enzyme that digests DNA
  6. 16. Largest gland of the body, produces bile.
  7. 18. Chemical reaction by which amino acids can be converted into glucose.
  8. 19. Hormone produced by enteroendocrine cells of the duodenal brush border, causes the secretion of bicarbonate in pancreatic juices and the production of bile by the liver.
  9. 21. Enzyme that digests fat.
  10. 23. Adjective referring to the gallbladder.
  11. 25. Chemical reaction during which triglycerides are broken down into individual fatty acids.
  12. 26. projections from enterocytes increasing surface area, also known as brush border.
  13. 27. Becomes carboxypeptidase, which digests proteins.
  14. 29. projections from the small intestine increasing surface area, core is lamina propria, contains blood capillaries and lacteals.
  15. 30. Fluid produced by the liver, made of water, steroids, bilirubin, cholesterol, fatty acids and phospholipids.
  16. 31. Mode of transport across the GI tract ET used to absorb lipids.
Down
  1. 2. Chemical reaction by which glucose is converted into glycogen for storage.
  2. 3. Functional cell of the liver.
  3. 5. Type of macrophage found in the liver sinusoids.
  4. 6. Gland that is both endocrine and exocrine.
  5. 7. Type of cell found in intestinal crypts that secrete lysozymes.
  6. 9. Hormone produced by enteroendocrine cells, controlling the release of bile by the gallbladder and the production of digestive enzymes by the pancreas.
  7. 11. Chemical reaction during which fatty acids are assembled into triglycerides.
  8. 12. Type of pancreatic cell that secretes enzymes.
  9. 14. Type of cell found in intestinal crypts producing mucus.
  10. 15. Enzyme that digests RNA
  11. 17. Chemical reaction that takes place in the liver, during which the amine group of an amino acid is removed. The amine group is then converted into urea.
  12. 20. Becomes trypsin, which digests proteins.
  13. 22. Enzyme that digests starch.
  14. 24. Mode of transport across the GI tract ET used to absorb water.
  15. 28. Type of cell found in intestinal crypts that secrete interleukins.
