34
Q

How are hepatocytes organized

A

Into hexagons

35
Q

Fats and related molecules

A

Triglycerides (90%), cholesterol, phospholipids, long chain fatty acids, fat soluble vitamins

36
Q

Why is fat digestion complicated

A

Fats are not water soluble

37
Q

How does bile assist with fat digestion

A

Coarse emulsion of large fat droplets in chyme broken to smaller, stable particles by bile salts to let enzymes digest

38
Q

How are emulsions made

A

Bile salts coat lipid droplet

39
Q

What enzymes from pancreas digest triglycerides

A

Lipase and colipase

40
Q

What is triglyceride broken down into

A

2 free fatty acids and a monoglyceride

41
Q

What are micelles

A

Small disks with bile salts, phospholipids, fatty acids, cholesterol, mono- and diglycerides
- proceed to wall for absorption

42
Q

What is absorbed from micelles when comes in contact with brush border

A
  • monoglycerides and fatty acids move out enter cells by diffusion
  • cholesterol is transported in
43
Q

Once part of Micelles absorbed what happens within cell of small intestine

A
  • absorbed fats reformed in ER and combine with chol and proteins
  • form chylomicrons
44
Q

What happens to chylomicron

A

Removed by lymphatic system (lacteal)

45
Q

How much bile salts are excrete

A

5%

46
Q

What secretes and stores bile

A

Hepatocytes in gallbladder

47
Q

What happens to bile during a meal

A

Recycled multiple times

48
Q

Where is bile taken back up

A

At ileum taken up by capillary bed and brought back to liver by hepatic portal vein

49
Q

What are gallstones

A

Hardened deposits within gallbladder likely due to excess chol or bilirubin
- block sphincter or hepatic duct

50
Q

What does gallstones cause

A

Upper right abdominal pain, jaundice
Gallbladder removal

51
Q

Carbs ingested

A

Starch and sucrose
- glucose polymers, disaccharides, monosaccharides

52
Q

Glucose polymers

A

Glycogen, cellulose

53
Q

Disaccharides

A

Lactose, maltose

54
Q

Monosaccharides

A

Glucose and fructose

55
Q

What does salivary and pancreatic amylase break down

A

Glucose polymers to disaccharides (maltose)

56
Q

What are disaccharides then broken down by

A

Intestinal brush border enzymes, disaccharidases

57
Q

Glucose or galactose absorption

A

Enters with Na on SGLT on apical
Exits on GLUT2 on basolateral

58
Q

Fructose absorption

A

Enters on GLUT5 on apical
Exits on GLUT2 on basolateral

59
Q

Normally glucose phosphorylated when entering cell what do enterocytes do differently

A

Use glutamine so glucose-6-phosphate is not formed and free glucose stays high facilitating basolateral transport (absorption)

60
Q

How much digested proteins are not from ingested foods

A

30-60%
- dead cells, enzymes and mucus

61
Q

2 categories of enzymes for protein digestion

A

Endopeptidase (proteases)
Exopeptidase

62
Q

Endopeptidases include

A

Pepsin in stomach, trypsin and chymotrypsin in small int

71
Q

What does protein digestion primarily result in

A

Free AAs, dipeptides and tripeptides

72
Q

What protein is absorbed after digestion

A

Oligopeptide transporter (H+ cotransporter)

75
Q

What happens to di and tripeptides once in cell

A

Digested to single AAs in cell (peptidases) and exit via Na-AA exchanger

76
Q

How are peptides larger than 3 AAs transported

A

Via transcytosis after binding to receptor on luminal surface

77
Q

Transcytosis

A

Combination of endocytosis, vesicular transport then exocytosis

78
Q

Why are most small peptides carried intact across cell by transcytosis

A

Could potentially act as antigens stimulating antibody production causing allergic reaction
