When trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen and procarboxypepdidase are prematurely activated in the pancreas they can digest pancreatic proteins and produce pancreatitis.
a. True
b. False

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Pancreatitis, a disease which involves the inflammation of the pancreas. Pancreatic damage can happen when digestive enzymes become activated before being released into small intestine and the digestive enzymes attack pancreas.

Trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen and procarboxypepdidase are precursor forms of trypsin, chymotrypsin and carboxypepdidase.  

If they are prematurely activated, they will make these enzymes which can degrade/ digest the pancreatic proteins.
