Gastric lipase (âlipâ means fat and âaseâ means breakdown) is secreted by the chief cells to begin fat digestion in your stomach by hydrolyzing (âhydroâ means water and âlyzingâ means breaking apart; so the breaking apart of a molecule using water) fat molecules into fatty acid chains.
Bleeding after brushing or flossing, or simply at random times, may be a sign of unhealthy oral tissues. Many people think bleeding gums is normal, particularly after flossing their teeth, but it is usually a signal to change your oral hygiene routine and visit the dentist.
Flossing. 1  Break off about 45 centimetres (18 inches) of floss, and wind some around one finger of each hand. 2  Hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers, with about an inch of floss between them, leaving no slack. Use a gentle ârocking' motion to guide the floss between your teeth.
