Small and Large Intestine -- Fluid and electrolytes Flashcards
liters per day present in small intestin
~8.5 L/day
how much fluid does small intestine remove per day
~6.5 L/day
how much fluid does large intestine remove per day
~1.9L/day
how much fluid does large intestine leave in the feces per day
0.1 L/day
type of epithelium SI vs. LI
SI = leaky for bulk water and solute transport
LI = tight to generate or maintain ion concentration or osmotic gradients
fluid movement is always accompanied by
solute movement
what cells absorb is SI vs. LI
SI = villous cells
LI = surface epithelial
secretory cells in SI and LI
crypt cells
what ions absorbed in SI vs. LI
SI = Na+, Cl-, K+
LI = Na+ and Cl-
what ions are secreted in SI vs. LI
SI = HCO3-
LI = HCO3- and K+
what intracellular 2nd messengers regulated the overal electroneutral NaCl absorption?
cAMP, cGMP, and Ca2+
increases in these decrease absorption (increase secretion)
Na+ in duodenum and jejunum (general)
actively absorbed - enchanced by sugars and amino acids
Na+ in ileum (general)
actively absorbed
Na+ in colon (general)
actively absorbed
K+ in duodenum and jejunum (general)
passively absorbed when concentration rises because of the absorption of H2O
K+ in ileum (general)
passively absorbed
