production of bile Flashcards
bilirubin is blood
- garbage
- no digestive function
- is not necessary for life
cholesterol source of
- steroids
- cholic acid
- chenodeoxycholic acid
bile acid vs bile salts
bile acid is lipid soluble
bile salt is water soluble
human body is mostly water for fats to enter, fats are covered with bile and its coverings are
- lipid soluble bile acid then conjugated (cover) with sugar
glycine and taurine (bile salts) - so inside is lipid soluble and outside is water soluble
bile salts goes into the
- gallbladder
gallbladder concentrates and absorbs
- bile
- absorbs Na, K, Cl, H2O, HCO3 EXCEPTS BILE SALTS
- ALL absorbable substance wil decrease in concentration overtime except bile salts
- will increase concentration answer bile salts except are all absorbable substance
CCK
- relaxes the sphincter
- contracts the gallbladder
bile
- is indispensable for fat absorption
- from bile salts from cholesterol covered with sugar glycine and taurine for micelles to eat and absorb fats
bile salts are recycled in the
- terminal ileum
resection of terminal ileum
- no bile salts reabsorption (a conjugated form of bile acid)
- Vit. A, D, E, K and fat malabsorption
- low calcium due to bile salt malabsorption causing osteoporosis
case:
after resection of bowel patient suddenly develops osteoporosis what part of the bowel is resected
- terminal ileum (where bile salts are absorb and produce calcium)
bilirubin
- gives golden yellow color to bile
stercobilin
- gives brown color to the stool
40% content of bile are
- phospholipids (lecithin)
most prominent feature of small intestine
- are villi
water and electrolyte reabsorption greatest at the
- villus tip
water and electrolyte secretion greatest at the bottom in the
- crypts of Lieberkuhn
only sugar that are absorbed are the
- MONOSACCHARIDES alone
greatest site of absorption of water and electrolytes
- COLON
in the kidney single most independent energy step
uses more energy than anyone else in the kidney
- sodium reabsorption drives the reabsorption of anything else
