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