Small Intestine Flashcards
Bile is stored
Gall bladder
Pancreas produces
Pancreatic juice
Enzymes in pancreatic juice
Pancreatic amylase
Pancreatic protease
ribonuclease or deoxydribonucleus
Pancreatic lipases
Pancreatic amylase
Breaks down starch
Pancreatic protease
Breaks down protein into amino acids
Ribonuclease and deoxydribonucleus
Digests RNA AND DNA
Pancreatic lipases
Breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol
Bile contains
No enzymes Bile salts Digest fats into tiny droplets Mechanical digestion to increase SA Then lipases act
Intestinal juice
Lining of the small intestine secretes
Many enzymes
Breaks down carbohydrates
Pancreatic protease then break down into individual amino acids
Lipases break down fats to fatty acids and glycerol
Liver produced
Bile
Absorption
Villi
Inside is lymph capillary, lacteal
Surrounded by blood capillaries
Some occurs through simple diffusion (high to low)
Or active transport - cells using energy to take nutrients across concentration gradient
