How the digestive enzymes are secreted at appropriate time in our body?
Answers
Answer:
The digestive enzymes are secreted at appropriate time in our body in response to the various food ingested, to aid in their digestion.
Explanation:
After the food is "taken" in or "ingested" through the mouth, the food moves down the digestive tract to enter the stomach. The main digestive enzyme is the pepsin that the stomach releases to attack and break down the proteins. Other pancreatic enzymes that are released to "aid in digestion" are mainly released into the small intestine. The entire process needs a certain time to process and it is in this allotted time gap that the enzymes are released at each step, thus maintain a perfect or appropriate timing.
Answer:
The digestive enzymes are programmed at regular time intervals in our body. When the digestion of food gets completed, that is after 4 hours the body immediately starts to secrete enzymes for the next digestion process.
Explanation:
All the enzymes that are to be employed for digestion from amylase to the enzymes present in the stomach all are time framed and are activated by various signals that arise from the body at the completion of the digestion phase.
