These are the accessory organs.
Liver
Nutrient from food enter thru liver.
Kupffer cells - immune system cell. it's there to destroyed bacteria.
Largest inferior organ in the body. weight about 3 pound. It can re-generate.
Responsible for blood sugar (glucose).
Destroys damaged red blood cells.
Controls iron level.
Removes toxic substances such as alcohol.
Bile
Blood reserve can hold up to 200-400 ml.
Gallbladder
Pear shape.
Stored bile between meal.
Re-obsorb water.
Receive chemical message from hormone - (tell gallbladder there's lots of fats and proteins).
Lipase can digest small fat.
Bile salts also absorb the fat-soluble vitamins ( A, D, E, K).
C & B complex vitamins are water vitamins.
Salivary Glands
Secrets saliva which helps moisten food, bind food particles and begins chemical digestion of carbohydrates.
Stable PH of 6.5-7.5 which protects the teeth from exposure to acids in food.
2 types of salivary cells: serous cells and mucous cells.
Produce a watery fluid which contains a digestive enzyme called salivary amylase - which splits starches and glycogen into disaccharides. (1st step in chemical digestion).
Mucous cells produc a thick mucous that binds food particles and acts as a lubricant during swallowing.
Pancreas
Pancreatic juice - contain enzymes that digest carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
Enzymes
Pancreatic amylase - digests carbohydrates.
Pancreatic lipase - digest fats.
Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, Carboxypeptidase - digest protein.
Insulin - combines glucose in body fro cells to use for energy.
Diabetes - problem with insulin production.
Type 1 diabetes - person make no insulin at all. Hereditary. No cure. Not common.
Type 2 diabetes - most common. exercise related.
Subtype 1 - not enough insulin.
Subtype 2 - make insulin but not the right insulin.
Gestational diabetes is when pregnant women.
