A

diffusion

48
Q

What happens to fatty acids after they have entered interstitial cells?

they enter lacteals and are transported to the circulation via lymph

49
Q

How does fat digestion happen?

A

lipase breaks fat down to fatty acids/monoglycerides
polar end of bile salt binds to fatty acid forming micelles
micelles ferry fatty acids to intestinal wall
fatty acids detach and diffuse into epithelial cells
recombined with proteins and form chylomicrons
enter lacteals and are carried away by lymph

Q

How are nucleic acids absorbed?

A

active transport via membrane carriers

absorbed in villi and transported to the liver via hepatic portal vein

51
Q

A

pancreatic ribonucleases

deoxyribose in small intestines

52
Q

A

coupled with absorption of glucose and amino acids

54
Q

How is ionic iron absorbed?

A

transported into mucosal cells

binds to ferritin

55
Q

A

passively follow the electrical potential established by Na+

56
Q

How is potassium absorbed?

A

across the intestinal mucosa in response to osmotic gradients

57
Q

How is calcium regulated?

A

regulated to blood levels of ionic calcium

regulated by vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (increases Ca2+)

58
Q

Describe water absorption

A

95 % happens in SI by osmosis
moves in both directions across mucosa
coupled with solute uptake
as water moves into mucosal cells, substances follow along their concentration gradient

Q

When does net osmosis occur?

A

whenever a concentration gradient is established by active transport of solutes into the mucosal cells

60
Q

What causes malabsorption of nutrients?

A

anything that interferes with delivery of bile or pancreatic juice

61
Q

What is gluten enteropathy?

A

celiacs

What are the haustra?

A

pocketlike sacs caused by the tone of the teniae coli in LI

What are anal columns?

A

longitudinal folds superior to the pectinate line

77
Q

main function is propulsion of fecal matter toward anus
not essential for life
no digestion

80
Q

Describe haustral contractions

A

slow segmenting movements that move the contents of the colon

81
Q

What does presence of food in the stomach do to LI?

A

activates gastrocolic reflex

initiates peristalsis that forces contents towards the rectum

82
