Heptaic portal vein: supplies deoxygentated blood filled with:

absorbed nutrients from the S.I
Toxins from the stomach
Damaged RBC

Blood enters the liver sinusiods where hepatocytes removed the following:

71
Q

Carbohydrates digestion

A

Mouth: Salvary amlyase breaks down starch into smaller sugars
Stomach:No digestion of CHO
S.I: pancreatic amalyse digests most CHO into small sugasrs
Microvilli: contain the majority of enzymes needed to break down the disacchrides and polysacchrides
Liver: monosacchrides absorbed into the portal blood where it gets converted to energy or stored as glycogen

72

S.I: trypsin & chymotrypsin released from the pancreas, break down proteins into peptide chains
Pepitdases: break down peptide chains into 2-3 amino acid chains
Microvili: contain peptides responsible for the break down to individual amino acids
Liver: amino acids are absorbed through the portal blood

73
Q

Fat digestion

A

Mouth – No digestion
Stomach – Little to no digestion of fats (lipase).
S.I. – major site of fat digestion. Emulsification of lipids by bile salts, forming a micelle.
S.I.:
Pancreatic Lipase – breaks down TGs into glycerol and three fatty acids.
Bile removes the glycerol and FAs when they are formed, forming micelles.
Micelles move to the microvilli
Microvilli – absorbs the glycerol and FAs.
TGs are reformed in the ER to form a chylomicron.
Chylomicrons are moved to the central lacteal of the villi where it is then put into the lymph then to the blood.
Liver: Receives the chylomicrons and reconstructs TGs and stores.
Lipids are used as an energy source, formation of ketone bodies and synthesis of cholesterol.
4 Types of Lipoproteins: VLDL, DL, LDL, or HDL - cholesterols

74
Q

Nucleic Acid Digestion

A

Mouth – no digestion
Stomach – no digestion
S.I. – break down, via pancreatic nucleases, into nucleotides.
Liver – absorbed through the portal blood system.

75
Q

What casues secretin to be released, and what does it do?

A

Secretin is released:

In response to a decrease in pH at the duodenum & jejunum

This stimulates the realease of bocarbonate fluid and some pancreatic enzymes into the duodenum
