Vocabulary : Peptic to Peptonuria

Peptic : Relating to digestion; promoting digestion; digestive; as, peptic sauces. ;; Able to digest. ;; Pertaining to pepsin; resembling pepsin in its power of digesting or dissolving albuminous matter; containing or yielding pepsin, or a body of like properties; as, the peptic glands. ;; An agent that promotes digestion. ;; The digestive organs.
Peptics : The science of digestion.
Peptogen : A substance convertible into peptone.
Peptogenic : Same as Peptogenous.
Peptogenous : Capable of yielding, or being converted into, peptone.

Peptohydrochloric : Designating a hypothetical acid (called peptohydrochloric acid, pepsinhydrochloric acid, and chloropeptic acid) which is supposed to be formed when pepsin and dilute (0.1-0.4 per cent) hydrochloric acid are mixed together.
Peptone : The soluble and diffusible substance or substances into which albuminous portions of the food are transformed by the action of the gastric and pancreatic juices. Peptones are also formed from albuminous matter by the action of boiling water and boiling dilute acids. ;; Collectively, in a broader sense, all the products resulting from the solution of albuminous matter in either gastric or pancreatic juice. In this case, however, intermediate products (albumose bodies), such as antialbumose, hemialbumose, etc., are mixed with the true peptones. Also termed albuminose.
Peptonize : To convert into peptone; to digest or dissolve by means of a proteolytic ferment; as, peptonized food.
Peptonoid : A substance related to peptone.
