GI Digestion and Absorption Flashcards
where are bile salts absorbed
distal ileum
what is affected if there is an inflammatory condition in the terminal ileum
bile salt absorption, B12 absorbtions
what is the function of plicae circularis
slows down chyme
what is the effect of dietary fibers on cholesterol
increase excretion (bind to bile salts)
how come salivary amylase doesnt work in stomach
does not work in acidic pH
pancreatic amylase hydrolyzes starch and glycogen to
maltose
at what pH does pancreatic amylase work
neutral
can intestines digest disaccharides
no
what transporters are used to absorb glucose and galactose
SGLT1 (also need Na) secondary active
how is fructose absorbed
carrier mediated (NOT NA DEPENDENT)
sugar absorbed is moved to the
liver
is disaccharide deficiency congential or aquired
could be either
90% of lipid intake is
Triglycerides
DHA and ERA are essential for
development of vision in newborns
acid lipase breaks down
median chain FA, essential for infants
what does pancreatic lipase do
Hydrolysis of TG to 2 FA and 2-monoglyceride
what does pancreatic colipase do
binds to lipase and allows lipase to the oil interphase, allows better interaction and counteracts bile salt inhibition of lipase
what is the major pancreatic enzyme for digesting
Phospholipase A2;
cholesterol ester is hydrolyzed by ________ to make cholesterol + FA
pancreatic cholesterol esterase
T/F bile salts are water soluable
T
How do bile salts aid in fat absorption
emulsification of fat droplets and lipids
