Question

All the following pass through the ampulla of Vater, except
(a)Eripsin
(b)Amylopsin
(c)Procarboxypeptidase
(d)Sodium taurocholate

Answer 1

Hint: Ampulla of Vater is related to the liver and pancreas. It is a duct that opens into the duodenum of the small intestine to release the secretions of the above-mentioned glands. It is guarded by the Sphincter of Oddi.


Complete answer:
Ampulla of Vater is related to the liver and pancreas. It is a duct that opens into the duodenum of the small intestine to release the secretions of the above-mentioned glands. It is guarded by the Sphincter of Oddi.


Additional Information: Eripsin: Erepsin is a term used for all the proteolytic enzymes present in the intestinal juice that digest peptones into amino acids.
Amylopsin: Amylopsin is similar to salivary amylase in nature. It is released from the pancreas and digests starch into sugar in the intestine.
Procarboxypeptidase: This enzyme is also released from the pancreas which is responsible for the digestion of proteins.
Sodium taurocholate: Sodium taurocholate is a salt present in bile juice which is responsible for the emulsification of fats.
So, the correct answer is ‘Erepsin’.

Note: -The common bile duct is formed by the hepatic duct of the liver with the cystic duct of the gallbladder.
-The liver is a bilobed digestive gland present in the abdomen that produces bile juice. Bile just is temporarily stored in the gall bladder where it is concentrated.
-The pancreas is a mixed gland (both exocrine and endocrine) which produces pancreatic juice in the digestive system.
