Exam 2 Flashcards
Villi
Finger like protrusions or the lining of the small intestine that participate in digestion and absorption of nutrients
Microvilli or brush border
Brush like projections on the mucosal cell membrane that increase the absorptive surface area in the small intestine
Lacteal
Tubular component of the lymphatic system that carries fluid away from body tissues
Lymph vessels in the intestine are known as lacteals and can transport large particles such as the products of fat digestion
Cholectcytokinin
Released by the duodenum that stimulates the release of pancreatic kids rich in digestive enzymes and causes gallbladder to contract and release bile into th duodenum
Hepatic portal circulation
Blood vessels collecting nutrient rich blood from digestive organs and deliver them to the liver
Lymphatic system
Vessels organs and tissues that drains excess fluid from spaced in between cells, transports fat soluble substances and contributes to immune function
Cytosol
Liquid found within cells
Organelles
Cellular organs that carry out specific metabolic functions
Mitochondria
Providing energy
