1500ml per day
role of h20 in digestive process
maintains lumenal conttents ina liquid state
promotes mixing of nutrients with digestive system
aids nutrient presentation to absorbing surface
dilutes and washes away potentially injurious substances
h20 secterion comes from where
epithelial cells lingni crypts of lieberkuhn
is h20 secterion active or passive
passive due to active section of chloride into intesal lumne
what pumps puts cloinre into lumen

potaium, diffusion
na, thorugh soidum potassium atp pump
