Study Notes
Digestive Enzymes
- The salivary glands produce the digestive enzymes amylase and lingual lipase.
- Amylase breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars.
Phases of Digestion
- The cephalic phase of digestion primarily takes place in the brain.
- The gastric phase of digestion primarily occurs in the stomach.
- The primary function of the bolus produced during the cephalic phase of digestion is to prepare food for swallowing.
- The primary function of the gastric phase of digestion is to break down proteins into peptides and amino acids.
Intestinal Phase of Digestion
- The pancreas is responsible for producing enzymes involved in the intestinal phase of digestion.
- The duodenum plays a role in the intestinal phase of digestion by receiving bile and pancreatic enzymes to facilitate fat and protein breakdown.
Initiating Digestion
- The sight, smell, and taste of food initiate the cephalic phase of digestion.
