_______ are the small sacs that are the site of gas exchange in the lungs. In addition to being an airway, the _______ is the lo

cation of the human vocal cords. Cilia in cells along the trachea and nasal passages secrete _______ which traps dirt and particles from the air. Air is only approximately 21% oxygen. The majority of air is ______. The medulla oblongata controls the contraction and relaxation of the _______, causing the lungs to inflate and deflate during breathing. Explain the process of breathing. Begin with inhalation and describe the route that the air takes to the lungs, and what happens when the air reaches the lungs. Include in your description the terms: mouth, nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, alveoli, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and capillaries

10. Air enters the body through the mouth or nose and passes through the pharynx and larynx. Then it travels down the trachea and branches through the bronchi into the two lungs. In the lungs, small alveoli are the site of gas exchange where carbon dioxide diffuses into the lungs for exhalation, while oxygen from the air diffuses into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli to be pumped throughout the body.

The majority of triglyceride digestion occurs in the small intestine facilitated by the enzyme
bixtya [17]

Answer:

pancreatic lipase

Explanation:

Enzymes from pancreas involved in triacylglycerol digestion are called pancreatic lipases and they catalyze the partial hydrolysis of triglycerides into a mixture of free fatty acids and acylglycerols. After digestion of lipids, monoglycerides and fatty acids associate with bile salts and phopholipids to form micelles. Micelles are structures that are necessary for the transport the poorly soluble monoglycerides and fatty acids to the surface of the enterocyte. But, micelles cannot be absorbed by epithelial cell, only freely dissolved monoglycerides and fatty acids can. Free fatty acids and monogycerids can just diffuse across the plasma membrane because of their nonpolar nature.

 Some absorption (e.g. for cholesterol) may be facilitated by specific transport proteins.
