cells on surface of villi
enterocytes
where is the absorptive site in small intestine
in submucosa of villi in absorptive vessel
how is water absorbed
osmosis into blood
how are lipids and fat soluble vitamins absorbed
passive diffusion into lacteal in small intestine villi move into lymphatic vessels which drain into blood
how is fructose absorbed
facilitated diffusion with protein transporter into capillaries
how are glucose and amino acids absorbed
absorbed against concentration gradient using active transport
what does the lacteal eventually drain into
thoracic duct
what enzymes do the microvilli store
lactase, sucrase, maltase
