export_gi 3 Flashcards
where does digestion occur?
upper part of SI
intraluminal phase
secrete enzymes
epithelial phase
- brush border hydrolases
- enterocytes
nutrients absorbed in proximal SI
calcium, fat, AAs, sugar
nutrients absorbed in middle SI
sugars, AAs
nutrients absorbed in distal SI
bile salts, vit B12
3 types of carbs
mono-, di-, polysaccharides
what types of carbs are absorbed?
- mono
- di/poly need to be digested
enzymes that break down carbs
salivary amylase (mouth), HCl (stomach), pancreatic amylase (SI)
brush border enzymes for carbs
maltase, isomaltase, sucrase, lactase
lactose intolerance
- no lactase
- inc luminal osmolarity–>
- net water gain in lumen–>
- luminal distension–> peristalsis
- diarrhea
how is glucose absorbed into epithelial cells?
- secondary active: Na-glucose cotransporter (SGLT) - apical
- facilitated: glucose transporter (GLUT) - basolateral
transport from interstitial fluid to blood
capillary pores
protein digestion products
AAs, dipeptides, tripeptides
what enzymes digest protein?
- pepsin, HCl (stomach)
- trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase (pancreatic)
-enterokinase, aminopeptidase (brush border)
what activates pepsinogen
HCl –> pepsin
what cells secrete pepsinogen?
chief cells
what cells sectere HCl?
parietal cells
cascade of enzyme activation of enterokinase…
trypsinogen –> trypsin –> activates other zymogens
endopeptidase vs exopeptidase
endo- cleaves anywhere in protein
exo- only cleaves terminal amino acid
how do AAs cross apical membrane?
- secondary active, coupled to Na+
- multiple types for diff AAs
how do AAs cross basolater membrane?
facilitated diffusion
how are small peptides transported?
secondary active coupled to H+ into cytosol
-broken down to AAs inside
where is all protein digestion done?
upper SI
