liver function tests, lipase, amylase, complete blood count (CBC), an abdominal X-ray, a HIDA scan (uses radioactive material) can measure gallbladder emptying while an ERCP test uses an endoscope to place dye in the ducts of the pancreas, gallbladder and liver, and. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is sometimes used to detail the organ structures (liver, gallbladder, and pancreas).
Carbohydrates and protein break down to minute, absorbable structures, and are absorbed directly into the blood. 3. Two types of digestion occur in the mouth, mechanical and, to a lesser extent, chemical.
Chemical digestion that occurs in the stomach is mainly via enzymes and hydrochloric acid. The stomach secretes pepsinogen which turns into pepsin and breaks down proteins.The hydrochloric acid provides a low pH level in which the enzymes can thrive.hemical digestion is the breaking down of food particles through chemical reactions. Chemical and mechanical digestion combine to process food, absorbing nutrients and minerals and discarding the waste. Very little mechanical digestion occurs outside of the mouth.
