chlymircon
dietrary triglycerides and CHO via intestinal epithelia
VLDL
CARRIES TRIGLYCERIDES AND CHO TO PLACES THEY NEED
LDL
carries cho to both peripheral and liver cells
HDL
absorbs CHO in the blood to take to liver
protein
Mouth - physical chewing
Stomach - HCL and protease break down protein into tripeptides, di and amino acids
small intestine - trypsin type of protease breaks down into amino acids.
fat
Mouth - physical +lipase
stomach - splits from other food
small ins - lipase breaks down into monoglyceride, glycerol and fatty acids. Bile emulsfies fat.
METABOLISM
- Fatty acids (monoglyceride + glycerol) absorbed by brush border of microvilli
- transported to the liver via heptic potral vein
- fat used as energy or sorted as fat, cushions internal organ
carbs
mouth - physcial + amylase
small intestine - intestinal enzymes lactase, maltase and sucrase breaks down into monosaccharides ( glucose, galactose and fructose).
METABOLISM
brush border on microvilli break down + absorb monosaccahrides (glucose, fructose and galactose)
travel via the heptci portal vein to liver
liver converts galactse + fructose into glucose
glucose used as energy, glucogen stored as fat.
