A

vascular capillaries

90
Q

chylomicron enters what capillary

A

lymphatic capillary

91
Q

draw out process of fat absorption

92
Q

how much of excreted bile is reabsorbed

enterohepatic circulation

94
Q

where are most bile salts absorbed in intestines

A

terminal ileum

95
Q

what system is used to absorb, aka what mechanism of transport is used to reabsorb bile in ileum

A

secondary active cotransport with Na+

96
Q

what does it mean that some bile salts are deconjugated in intestine

A

they are converted back to bile acids

97
Q

what needs to happen to bile salts in liver

A

they need to be conjugated again

98
Q

what happens to bile salt that enters the colon

A

converted to secondary bile salts

99
Q

what are the secondary bile salts

A

deoxycholic acid & lithocholic acid

100
Q

what happens to lithocholic acid

A

isn’t reabsorbed ,most excreted in stool

101
Q

what happens regarding lipid absorption if there is pancreatic insufficiency

A

can’t secrete adequate amounts of enzymes needed for lipid digestion, so triglycerides will not be able to be absorbed and will be pooped out

102
Q

how does Zollinger-Ellison syndrome relate to lipid absorption

A

if there is tumor in pancreas, and it excretes too much gastring, then pH will be much too low in duodenum and the enzymes needed to degrade lipids will not be able to function

103
Q

what happens regarding lipid absorption if ileum is removed

A

bile salts are not reabsorbed, liver cannot keep up with demand so there is deficiency of bile salts and if there are not enough bile salts can’t form enough micelles needed for absorption

104
Q

what does bacterial overgrowth do to bile salts

A

reduces effectiveness

105
Q

how does bacterial overgrowth reduce effectiveness of bile salts

A

deconjugates them - removes glycine & taurine

106
Q

bile salts in non-ionizable form, what happens to them

A

they are readily absorbed by diffusion

107
Q

explain what happens regarding lipid absorption with bacterial overgrowth

A

bile acids are in non-ionizable form b/c the bacteria deconjuagetes them. this means the bile salts are absorbed by diffusion before they have a chance to do their job on the lipids

108
Q

how are fat soluble vitamins absorbed

A

Incorporated into micelles – transported to apical membrane – diffuse across membrane into cell – incorporated into chylomicrons – extruded into lymph – general circulation

109
Q

B1, B12, C, biotin, folic acid, nicotinic acid, and pantothenic acid - how are they absorbed

A

Na+ dependent cotransporter

transcobalamin II allows vitamin B12 to be

115
Q

what is a gastrectomy

A

partial or full removal of stomach

116

parietal cells

118
Q

where are parietal cells located
