Absorption: small intestine Flashcards
What are the processes of absorption of nutrients through the small intestine
Diffusion
Osmosis
Facilitated diffusion
Active transport
What transport to monosaccharides take
By facilitated diffusion or active transport
What do pass monosaccharides into
the capillaries of the intestinal Villi
What transport do amino acids take
By active transport
What do amino acids go into
capillaries of villi
What transport does fatty acids and glycerol take?
diffusion
What do fatty acid and glycerol diffuse into
the epithelial cell of the villi
What is fatty acids and glycerol back converted into
into triglycerides and surrounded by proteins to form chylomicrons
Where do chylomicrons enter?
the lacteals
What do chylomicrons do?
are transported along lymphatic vessels to the thoracic duct
What transport does electrolytes take
diffusion and active transport
What does water move by
osmosis
