Study Notes

Salivary Glands

  • Secrete saliva containing salivary amylase, which digests starches (polysaccharides) into maltose (disaccharide) and malto triose (trisaccharide)
  • Play a role in carbohydrate digestion

Lingual Glands

  • Secrete lingual lipase in the tongue, which digests fats and oils, as well as other lipids, into fatty acids
  • Involved in lipid digestion

Digestive Functions

  • Completes digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids
  • Begins and completes digestion of nucleic acids

Liver Functions

Carbohydrate Metabolism

  • Regulates glycogen synthesis and breakdown
  • Involved in glucose metabolism

Lipid Metabolism

  • Regulates lipid synthesis and breakdown
  • Involved in cholesterol metabolism
