Process of conversion of complex food substances to simple absorbable form is called :-
1. Assimilation
2. Deamination
3. Digestion
4. Absorption
Principal organ for the absorption of nutrients is
1. Buccal cavity
2. Stomach
3. Small intestine
4. Large intestine
Mark the incorrect statement
| 1. | Fructose, mannose and some amino acids are absorbed by facilitated diffusion |
| 2. | Various nutrients like amino acids, fatty acid,monosaccharides like glucose, electrolytes like are absorbed by active transport only |
| 3. | Fatty acid and glycerol are first incorporated into small droplets called micelles which move into intestinal cell of mucosa |
| 4. | Transport of water depends upon osmotic gradient |
Mark the correct pair of food components in human
which reach to stomach in undigested form
| 1. | Starch and fat | 2. | Starch and Protein |
| 3. | Starch and Cellulose | 4. | Cellulose and fat |
Bile duct and pancreatic duct open together
into the duodenum as the common hepato-
pancreatic duct which is guarded by a sphincter
called
| 1. | Sphincter of Boyden |
| 2. | Pyrolic sphincter |
| 3. | Sphincter of Oddi |
| 4. | Gastro-oesophageal sphincter |
Mark the condition where food is not properly
digested leading to feeling of fullness. This can be
caused due to inadequate secretion, food
poisoning, over eating etc.
| 1. | Vomiting | 2. | Constipation |
| 3. | Indigestion | 4. | Diarrhoea |
Match the following
| Column I | Column II | ||
| a. | Sphincter of boyden | (i) |
Regulates openings of oesophagus into stomach |
| b. | Sphincter of Oddi | (ii) |
Surrounds the opening of bile duct into pancreatic duct |
| c. | Cardiac sphincter | (iii) |
Regulates the opening of stomach into small intestine |
| d. | Pyloric sphincter | (iv) |
Surrounds ampulla of vater |
