what are the brush border enzymes that finish digestion of carbs/
lactase, maltase, sucrase
176
where are carbs absorbed? what are the absorbable units?
in small intestine, glucose, galactose and fructose
177
How are carbs absorbed?
after becoming monosaccarides the na/k pump creates a gradient for Na+ aboroption from fluid in the lumen the gradient drives sexondary active tranport of glucose and glctose bia na+/glucose cotransporter fructose absorbed by facilitated diffusion all 3 monosac cross membrane and diffuse into blood and go to liver via hepatic portal vein for processing
178
what doe Na+/glucose cotransporter do?
secondary active transport of glucose and galactose
179
How is fructose absorbed
by facilataed diffsuion
180
what vein do the monosac take to get to the liver?
hepatic portal vein
181
describe protein digestion (not absorption
no chem digestion in mouth in stomach pepsin initates digetion into small polypeptides, aligopeptides and amino acids in small intestine pancreatic enzymes digest peptides into di and tri peptides - Trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase brush border enzymes finish digestion into free amino acids -Dipeptidase and Tripeptidase
182
what are the di and tri peptides found in the small intestine?
trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase
183
what are the free amino acid that are created in the small intestine?
Dipeptidase and Tripeptidase
184
what are proteins absoably units?
free amino acids
185
what are oligopeptides first broken down into?
free amino acids
186
what is protein absorption catalyzed by?
pancreatic and brush border enzymes
187
How do the amino acids cross the basal enterocyte membrane?
facilitated diffusion
188
what are the three parts of fat in our diet?
triglycerides, cholesterol and phospholipids
189
explain fat digestion not absorption
no chem in mouth stomach - mixing and churning in stomach break up large lipid globules gastric lipase initiates chem diges Small int: bile salts from gallbladder coat lipid droplets forming an emulsion
190
what enzyme intitiates chem digestion of fats? what enzyme works to chemically digest in the small intestine?
gastric lipase. Pancreatic lipase
191
what do lipids become?
monoglycerides and fatty acids- contained in micelles
192
what do micelles contain?
fatty acids, cholesterol, and any fat soluble vitamins from
193
what are the lipid binding proteins called
apoproteins
194
what are chylomicrons?
In fat absorption they contain the triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipds and lipid binding proteins
195
where are most nutrients taken for initial processing?
to the liver
196
the capillaries of the GI tact pick up _____ whereas the capillaries of the hepatic portal _______
pick up absorbed nutrients and hepatic portal presents nutrients to the liver
197
what maconutrient does not go directly to the liver abd where does it go instead?
packaged into chylomicrons and enters the lymhatic system
198
what are the divisions of the large intestine?
Cecum * Colon * Ascending - Transverse - Descending - Sigmoid * Rectum - Anal Canal
199
what are the main functions of the large intestine
Absorption of water, electrolytes & some vitamins * Secretion (mostly mucus) * Propulsion & defecation of waste * Also houses many important bacteria
200
what is the function of bacteria in the small intestine?
Absorption of water, electrolytes & some vitamins * Secretion (mostly mucus) * Propulsion & defecation of waste * Also houses many important bacteria
