36
Q

What does the small intestine absorb

A

Usable food substances
Nutrients - monosaccharides, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, etc.

37
Q

What does the large intestine absorb

A

Water & dissolved minerals from indigestible food residues

38
Q

Structure of the small intestine

A

4 main tissues layers (From outside to inside -)
Serosa
Muscle Layer
Submucosa
Mucosa

39
Q

Serosa

A

Most outer layer of the small intestine
- protective outer covering
- layer of cells reinforced by fibrous connective tissue

40
Q

Muscle layer

A

Second outer later of small intestine
- outer layer of longitudinal muscle
- inner layer of circular muscle (segmentation)

41
Q

Submucosa

A

Second inner layer of small intestine
- composed of connective tissue
- separates the muscle layer from mucosa

42
Q

Mucosa

A

Innermost layer of small intestine
-highly folded
- absorbs material through surface epithelium from intestinal lumen

43
Q

ileum

A

final section of the small intestine

44
Q

epithelium

A

thin layer of tissue that covers organs and glands

45
Q

Villi surface area

A

vili increases the surface area of
epithelium which absorption is carried out by

46
Q

Location of vili

A

the inner epithelial, in the intestinal lumen

47
Q

Vili

A

Highly folded, finger like projections in epithelial lining

48
Q

Features of vili

A

MR SLIM
- Microvilli
- Rich blood supply
- Single layer epithelium
- Lacteals
- Intestinal glands
- Membrane

49
Q

Villi - Microvilli

A

Ruffling of epithelial membrane further increases surface area

50
Q

Villi - Rich blood supply

A

Dense capillary network rapidly transports absorbed products

51
Q

Villi - Single layer epithelium

A

Minimises diffusion distance between lumen and blood

52
Q

Villi - Lacteals

A

Absorbs lipids from the intestine into the lymphatic system

53
Q

Vili - Intestinal glands

A

Exocrine pits release digestive juices

54
Q
