Explanation / Answer

16)during swallow reflex c the larynx elevates , causing the eliglottis to close over glottis preventing aspiration .

The swallow reflex prevents the food from entering trachea by closi the epiglottis.

17)a the low concentrations of intracellular Na+ in intestinal mucosa cells.

Transport across basolateral membrane occurs via passive diffusion.and sodium independent and sodium dependent carriers found in non epithelial mrmbrane of intestin mucosa.

18)ba brush border enzyme that initiates the activation of pancreatic peptidases by converting trypsinogen to active trypsin

Enterokinase enzyme is produced in duodenum.it helps in digestion of protein.it itself also hydrolyze peptides bond.

19)a inactive pancreatic peptidase

the pancreas release inactive pancreatic peptidase into duodenum which are converted by enterokinase to active trypsin.

20)c brush border enzyme c ontinue and continue and complete digestion of proteins and carbohydrates.

The final step of digestion occurs in intestinal lining by enterocytes.brush border enzymes ate found in microvilli. Brush border enzyme s are produces pr enterocytes.
