Which of the following is TRUE?
The hepatic portal vein transports water-soluble vitamins, amino acids and monosaccharides from the small intestine to the liver.
The hepatic portal vein transports lipids from the small intestines to the liver
The lymphatic system transports water-soluble vitamins, amino acids and monosaccharides from the small intestine to the liver
Question 2
Which of the following is TRUE about the stomach?
It contains 3 layers of smooth muscle that contract to mechanically break up food particles and propel food forward by peristalsis
It contains Endocrine glands that secrete Gastrin into the stomach
Small polypeptides are absorbed by endocytosis from the stomach
Question 3
The intestinal phase of digestion _________________________.
Slows gastric emptying to ensure that nutrients entering the small intestine are digested and absorbed.
Stimulates the gastroenteric reflex
Maintains homeostasis of blood pH
Prevents gastroesophageal refulx
Question 4
The interstitial cells of Cajal are _________________________.
Pacesetter cells of the enteric nervous system
Afferent sensory neurons of the enteric nervous system
The extrinsic neurons that innervate the enteric nervous system
Question 5
Which monosaccharide uses secondary active co-transport with sodium (a SGLT) for absorption across the apical membrane of the Small Intestine?
Glucose
Lactose
Sucrose
Maltose
Question 1

Question 2
It contains 3 layers of smooth muscle that contract to mechanically
break up food particles and propel food forward by peristalsis
It contains Endocrine glands that secrete Gastrin into the stomach
Question 3
The intestinal phase of digestion
Stimulates the gastroenteric reflex
Question 4
The interstitial cells of Cajal are
Pacesetter cells of the enteric nervous system generates impulses responsible for peristaltic movements
Question 5
Which monosaccharide uses secondary active co-transport with sodium (a SGLT) for absorption across the apical membrane of the Small Intestine?
Glucose
Membrane transport proteins use the energy created by sodium and potassium ion transport by the ATPase pump to transport glucose across the apical membrane in small intestine.
