Best Answer: Probably the same as any other major... probably even shorter than some (such as pre-med), so 4 years. For my school, you need Intro, Research Methods ...
Digestion of foods in the small intestine. The small intestine continues the process of digestion and various enzymes are present there to break starches down further. These enzymes are called disaccharidases. The best known is lactase, which is the enzyme necessary to digest milk sugar. This enzyme is normally present in all young mammals who need this to digest mother's breast milk. With age and as breast feeding finishes, production of this enzyme ceases for life.
You can think of pepsin as the 'chief' digestive enzyme in the stomach because it is produced by the chief cells. This can help you remember the term, but I should clarify that pepsin is the active protein-digesting enzyme. The chief cells actually produce pepsinogen (an inactive form of pepsin).
