The hormone secretin controls digestion by which mechanism? a)In response to acidic chyme entering the small intestine, secretin is released into the intestinal lumen. b)In response to fat-rich chyme entering the small intestine, secretin triggers the release of bile into the intestinal lumen. c)Secretin in the blood triggers the pancreas to release sodium bicarbonate. d)Secretin in the blood triggers the stomach to speed up digestion. e)Secretin produced by stomach cells travels in the blood and activates other stomach cells.

What is the role of bile salts in fat digestion? a)hydrolyzing fat molecules in globules to glycerol and fatty acids b)separating individual fat molecules from each other c)dissolving fats in water d)preventing small fat droplets from coalescing into larger globules e)triggering the activation of lipases from the pancreas

If we follow a fatty acid that is absorbed into an intestinal epithelial cell, we would find it doing all of the following except which one? a)being synthesized into a triglyceride in the epithelial cell b)entering a lacteal vessel as a chylomicron c)entering a blood vessel as a chylomicron d)being incorporated into chylomicrons in the epithelial cell e)exiting the epithelial cell by exocytosis of the chylomicron

All of the following are part of our appetite control system, except which one? a)An empty stomach secretes a hormone that triggers hunger. b)The small intestine, after a meal, secretes hormones that suppress appetite. c)High levels of leptin, produced by fat cells, suppress appetite. d)The brain is sensitive to levels of the circulating leptin hormone. e)An activated leptin receptor triggers the hunger response.

In response to a drop in blood glucose below normal levels, what mechanisms (more than one might be true) are triggered to get more sugar into the blood and restore normal glucose levels? a)Insulin is released into circulation and, in response, body cells take in and use up glucose. b)Glucagon is released into circulation and, in response, liver cells release glucose into the blood. c)Secretin is released into circulation and, in response, the pancreas secretes amylases into the intestine. d)CCK is released into circulation and, in response, enzymes and bile are released into the intestine. e)Amylase enzymes are released into circulation and, in response, starches in the blood are digested to glucose.
