Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a branch of rehabilitation medicine/Physical Therapy dealing with optimizing physical function in patients with cardiac disease or recent cardiac surgeries. CR services can be provided during hospitalization for the event or in an outpatient setting.
Pepsin is the active protein-digesting enzyme of the stomach. Pepsin acts on protein molecules by breaking the peptide bonds that hold the molecules together. Digestion of protein is completed in the small intestine by the pancreatic enzymes trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase. These enzymes also get some help from the brush border enzymes found in the small intestine.
The function of the digestive system is to break down these large molecules (called polypeptides) into smaller molecules (called amino acids). Pepsin in your stomach is an enzyme that chemically breaks down (hydrolyses) many protein molecules into less complex, smaller chains of amino acids.The stomach does not break down all proteins completely into amino acids.The digestion of protein is completed by the enzymes in the small intestine by another enzyme called trypsin. The relatively small molecules of amino acids enter the bloodstream in the small intestine.he stomach does not break down all proteins completely into amino acids.
