what else increase surface area?
longest in?

what is brush border?
site for?
barrier for?

cell types of intestinal epithelium
(3)
E- function? turnover? susceptible to?
GC- secrete what? this does what?
PC- do what?

routes of passage into enterocytes?
Major mechanism for uptake of protein?
other 3?

solutes moving across enterocyte encounter?
some of the layers?

adaptations in digestion maintain?
in certain problems such as small bowel resection their are adaptions that allow things to continue smoothly. Adaption though is limited such as vit B12 absorption with a terminal ileum resection
genetic abnormalities also exist that distrub adaptability

Absorption
what mechanisms?
what creates concentration gradient?
glucose transporter? type of transport?
fructose? type of transporter?
galactose transporter? type?
Into the blood transporter?
know important transporter for galactose absorption

what is it?
caused by?
this holds what in lumen? causing?
ferments into?

test of CHO assimilation
how?
should pee out how much?

S: what is secreted here? activated how?
how much % protein breakdown?
essential?

protein digestion
locations
P: breaks proteins into?
enzymes?
each does what?

protein digestion
locations?
SI: enzymes?
what are absorbed into enterocytes?

Protein digestion
pancreatic zymogens
activated by?

protein absorption
type of transporter for AA?
for di and tri peptides?
into the blood how?

Deficiency of pancreatic enzymes or defect in transporters of intestinal epithelial cells?
(5)

Chronic pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis
cause?
Congenital trypsin absence?
why?
all gone since trypsin needs to activate others

complicated by?
what emulsify?
