Segmentation
Peristalsis
Where does digestion and absorption occur in the small intestine?
All along (highest in duodenum)
Motilin
Sweep intestines of undigested material
One every 90 minutes
Migrating Motility Complex
Is the MMC part of the fasting or feeding pattern?
Fasting
Interstitial Cells of Cajal
3-12 waves/min
Controlled 1⁰ by ENS
BER Slow waves in small intestine
What are the 4 stimuli of the BER slow waves in small intestine?
- Distention of duodenum
- Nutrient content of chyme
- Gastroenteric Reflex – short feedback loop from stomach to small intestine
- Hormones
What 4 hormones stimulate the BER slow waves in small intestine?
CCK
Gastrin
Insulin
Serotonin
What 2 hormones inhibit the BER slow waves in small intestine?
Secretin
Glucagon
Mixing
- chyme with digestive enzymes
- emulsifies fats
- adjusts pH
- exposes mucosa to chyme.
Segmentation
Propel chyme through small intestine at a velocity of 1 cm/min.
Spread chyme across mucosal surface as it enters from stomach
Can begin anywhere in the small intestine
Normally weak and die out after traveling only 3 – 5 cm
3 - 5 hours from pyloric valve to ileocecal valve
Peristalsis
______ reflex: short feedback loop from stomach to small intestine
Gastroenteric reflex
The duration of feeding pattern depends on what 2 things?
Caloric content of meal
Nutrient composition of meal
An increase in the caloric intake will _____ the time of feeding pattern
Increase
The Net rate of movement of any substance across the intestinal epithelium is influenced by what 2 things?
Surface area
Motility
The north-south vector of movement from mouth to anus is influenced by ______
motility
The east west vector of the rate of movement across intestinal epithelium is influenced by ______
surface area
_______: – carbohydrate, protein, fat–Require “digestion”
Macronutrients
What are the 6 things presented for digestion and/or absorption?
Macronutrients Electrolytes Water Bile Salts Vitamins Drugs
The following factors influence \_\_\_\_\_\_: Motility Large surface area Appropriate pH Hydrolytic enzymes –carbohydrates, protein, fat Emulsifying factors –Fat
digestion
What are the 5 factors influencing digestion?
Motility Large surface area Appropriate pH Hydrolytic enzymes –carbohydrates, protein, fat Emulsifying factors –Fat
What are the 5 factors influencing absorption?

The following factors influence \_\_\_\_\_\_: Large surface area Specialized cells Specific transport mechanisms – carriers, pumps, pores Energy Blood or lymph flow
absorption
Most substances completely digested and absorbed in ______ (~25%) small intestine.
proximal small intestine
What percentage of the total substances are absorbed in the proximal small intestine?
25%
What substance is not absorbed mostly in the proximal small intestine?
Dietary fat
In the proximal small intestine, Increased intake produces increased absorption that may increase ____ and ______
Storage and obesity
Diversion of chyme to _____ is one treatment for obesity
distal gut
Digestive enzymes in small intestine require a _____ pH to function
neutral
What is used to decrease the acidity of the chyme in the small intestine?
Bicarb
Pancreatic HCO3–Maximal stimulus of pancreas produces pancreatic juice with [HCO3- ] of _____ mEq/L
145 mEq/L
_____ digestion:
(Stage I – pancreatic hydrolases):
yields di- and tripeptides, amino acids, maltose, maltotriose, α-limit dextrins, glucose;
Fat digestion completed in lumen.
Intraluminal
_____ digestion:
(Stage II – brush border hydrolases):
End products: amino acids and di- and tripeptides, glucose, galactose, fructose.
