What is Intestinal juice?
Answers
Answer:
hey mate here is the answer
Explanation:
Partially digested food in the stomach is becomes acidic and is known as chyme.
Chyme moves into small intestine for further digestion.
The small intestine is divided into duodenum, ileum and jejunum.
Cells lining the inner lining of intestine secrete enzyme rich intestinal juice.
Intestinal juice comprises of many enzymes like enterokinase, invertase, maltase and lipase.
Liver and pancreas open into intestine through hepato-pancreatic duct to throw their secretions for further digestion of food.
*The intestinal enzymes act upon partially digested proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
*Proteins, carbohydrates and fats are simplified into amino acids, glucose, fatty acids and glycerol in a liquid medium known as chyle.
*Specific structures called as villi in the small intestine increase its surface area to ensure efficient and rapid absorption of nutrients.
Blood capillaries in the villi absorb nutrients and transport the food to all the cells in the body.
The liver is the largest gland in the body. It secretes bile juice *Bile makes the food alkaline for the action of pancreatic and intestinal enzymes in the small intestine.
*Bile brings about emulsification of fats which are later digested by intestinal lipases.
The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice which includes trypsin and lipase that help break down proteins and fats.
