Q

what do bile salts do

A

facilitates digestion, transport and absorption of FAT (including cholesterol) by forming water soluble complexes with fats = micelles
facilitates transport and absorption of fat soluble vitamins = a,d,e,k
reduces surface tension and stabilize emulsions = now can be acted upon by lipases

Salivary glands = 1500ml
stomach = 2500ml
bile = 500ml
pancreas = 1500ml
intestine = 1000ml

2l ingested + 7l secreted = ~9l must be reasb

59

what else is reabs into git - besides water

A

Very large quantities of ions are also reabsorbed from lumen of the GIT

60
Q

describe Proteins Released into the GIT via Secretions

A

50g enzymes
30g as cells
80g protein - broken down into aas = aa pool need to return aas for homeostasis

61
Q

WHAT is being absorbed?

A

Most of absorption is REABSORPTION

62
Q

WHERE is it being absorbed?

A

sites of exchange characterized by = v large sa of si and intimate contact with bvs

63
Q

describe structure of si

A

circular folds, villi, microvilli, relative sa = 600
area in excess of need
only gi organ essential to life = colon cannot take over nutrient absorption

64
Q

describe villus

66
Q

HOW does absorption take place?

A

A

lactose - if no lactase = lactose intolerance – broken down to galactose and glucose
starch = need salivary amylase, and pancreatic amylase and many si enzymes in brush border - critical for them to move into cells – broken down to glucose
sucrose – broken down to fructose and glucose

71
Q

describe protein digestion and absorption

A

need pepsin, pancreatic proteases - broken down to aas
either peptidases break in to small peptides or free aas go through carrier mediated transport to aas into cel

72
Q

describe fat digestion and absorption

A

triglycerides converted. by lipase, colipase, bile salts to monoglycerides and free fatty acids

monoglycerides either become free fatty acids or glycerol and go directly to capillary
if free fatty acids = makes micelle, help of conjugated bile salts, liver and ileum
micelle into enterocyte = triglycerides resynthesized and mixes with protein, cholesterol and phospholipids to make chylomicrons and go to lacteals

A

wave of secretory activity preceding, accompanying and trailing behind meal
wave of motor activity which receives, accommodates and conveys the meal
