Mucosa layer of cells that line the lumen of the gut submucosa layer of tissue found in the gut between the mucosa and muscularis externa peristalsis the constriction and relaxation of muscles that moves food through the gut plaque the film that covers the teeth proteolytic enzymes enzymes that break down protein salivary amylase begins the break down of starch hydrochloric acid secreted by parietal cells in the stomach, denatures some macromolecules (proteins) Intrinsic factor secreted by parietal cells in the stomach, required for the absorption of Vit. B12 in small instestine pepsinogen secreted by chief cells, converted into pepsin for protein breakdown pepsin breaks down proteins. mucus secreted by goblet cells, protects cell wall of stomach chyme the mixture of liquid and food in the stomach lipase required for lipid breakdown bile secreted by the liver and transorted to the stomach by the hepatic duct, emulsifies fat gall bladder bile is stored here between meals coeliac disease inflammation of upper small intestine Crohn's disease inflammation of the intestinal wall amino acids basic units of proteins monosaccharides basic units of carbohydrates fatty acids basic units of lipids pancreatic amylase responsible for the break down of polysaccharides to disaccharides and dextrins enteric relates to the intestine muscularis externa layer of muscle that surrounds the gut - responsible for peristalsis
