b.The three subdivisions of the large intestine. -Caecum, Colon, Rectum

c .Two main divisions of the digestive system- Alimentary canal and digestive glands

d . Three digestive glands -Salivary gland, liver and pancreas.

e . Three parts small intestine- Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum.

f . Three parts of large intestine- Caecum, Colon, Rectum.

g. . Which is the longest segment of the digestive system in the human body -Small intestine

h. The largest organ in the body- liver

i. Form of food when released from the stomach. – Chyme

Q 3.Name the enzyme which digests :

a. starch in the mouth- Salivary amylase or Ptyalin

b. fats in the ileum -Intestinal lipase

c.protein in duodenum -Trypsin

d.sucrose in the ileum -Sucrase/invertase

Q 4 What are the end-products of digestion of :

a.Proteins- Amino acid

b.Fats -Fatty acid and Glycerol

c.Starch- Maltose then finally glucose


d. Sucrose- Glucose and Fructose

Q 5. Fill in the blanks.

a .Liver stores glucose as glycogen .

b .Liver produces RBC only in embryo.

c .Urea is produced in liver by the deamination of extra amino acid .

d . Gastric juice contains HCl and pepsin.

e. The water from the digested food is mainly absorbed by colon

f. The process of conversion of excess glucose into glycogen is termed as Glycogenesis

Q 6.Choose the odd one out and write the category of the remaining terms :

Answer

1. Steapsin is odd one out. Remaining terms (Pepsin, Trypsin and Erepsin) are protein digesting
enzymes.
2. Peptidase is odd one out. Lactase, Invertase and Maltase are sugar digesting enzymes.
