Across
  1. 2. chemically digests lipids to fatty acids and glycerol
  2. 4. lymph vessel within the villus; absorbs fatty acids, glycerol and fat-soluble vitamins
  3. 6. first part of small intestine; receives bile and pancreatic juice
  4. 8. finger-like projections in ileum that absorb end-products of digestion
  5. 10. muscle in mouth that helps move food around
  6. 12. mixture of chemicals produced by glands in the mouth
  7. 17. creates pH 2 in stomach to provide optimum conditions for pepsin action
  8. 19. muscular contractions of oesophagus to squeeze food down to stomach
  9. 21. chemical reaction between sodium hydrogencarbonate and HCl
  10. 22. product of sucrose digestion by sucrase
  11. 23. leaf-shaped structure; produces enzymes and sodium hydrogencarbonate
Down
  1. 1. increases surface area of the villus
  2. 3. produced by liver, stored in gall bladder
  3. 5. flap of tissue that moves to cover the trachea during swallowingperistalsis
  4. 7. physical digestion in mouth
  5. 9. physical digestion in duodenum, carried out by bile
  6. 11. protein molecules that speed up reactions in cells
  7. 13. enzyme that hydrolyses starch to maltose, in mouth and duodenum
  8. 14. chemically digests large polypeptides to smaller polypeptides
  9. 15. enzyme that hydrolyses protein to large polypeptides
  10. 16. substrate for maltase
  11. 18. physical digestion in stomach causes by movement of muscle in stomach wall
  12. 20. small ball-shaped structure made of food ready to be swallowed
  13. 23. protease that completes protein digestion, releasing amino acids from polypeptides
  14. 24. mixture of food and gastric juice in stomach
