ABSORPTION OF TOXICANTS Process by which toxicants cross the epithelial cell barrier. Depending on the nature of the toxicant, dose, duration, and type of exposure, a toxicant may limit its contact to the outer surface of the epithelial cell barrier, or cross the cell membrane, enter the cell, and possibly move completely through the cell and into the underlying tissues.

Sites of Cellular Interaction Interaction between a toxicant and the cell may occur: 1.On cell surface 2.Within the cell 3.In underlying tissue

Cell Membrane Structure

Cellular Membrane Structure The cellular membrane is composed of phospholipid molecules. Phospholipid molecules are made of: 1. Phosphates: Hydrophilic (lipophobic) region Heads 2. Lipids: Hydrophobic (lipophilic) region Tails The cellular membrane is a phospholipid bilayer It is semi-permeable

Process of Cellular Absorption Types of transport mechanisms by which a substance enters a cell: 1. Simple Diffusion: Passive Most Common Concentration Gradient 2. Faciliated Diffusion: Passive 3. Active Transport: Active (use of ATP) 4. Macromolecules Phagocytosis

Routes of Absorption There are three routes of absorption of toxicants within the body: A.Percutaneous route (skin) B.Inhalation route C.Ingestion route

A. Percutaneous Route of Absorption Skin Hair Fingernails Toenails

Skin The skin is composed of three layers: 1. Epidermis 2. Dermis 3. Hypodermis

Skin Composition EPIDERMIS DERMIS HYPODERMIS

Skin Composition

The Skin Has Important Roles: Barrier against entry of toxicants and microorganisms Protects against harmful effects of UV radiation Assists in the biotransformation of toxicants Eliminates toxicants via sweat or cellular secretion Regulates body temperature Houses sensory receptors for temperature, pain and pressure

Factors Affecting Absorption through the Skin How quickly a toxicant diffuses through the epidermis is affected by: Dose Length of exposure Lipid solubility Skin location **Toxicants that are small, non-polar, and lipid-soluble will diffuse most rapidly.

B. Respiratory System The respiratory system is composed of three anatomical regions: 1.Head airways region: Nose Mouth Larynx Pharynx 2.Tracheobronchial region Trachea Bronchi Bronchioles 3.Alveolar (gas exchange) region Terminal bronchioles Alveoli

Removal of Toxicants from the Respiratory System 1.Head airways region: Hair Mucus 2.Tracheobronchial region Mucociliary escalator 3.Alveolar (gas exchange) region Phagocytocis

Factors Affecting Respiratory Deposition & Absorption Gases and vapors Solubility Particles Solubility Size

C. Digestive System

Digestive System 1. mouth 2. oral cavity 3. esophagus 4. stomach 5. small intestine 6. large intestine 7. r ectum 8. A nus accessory organs, such as pancreas & liver

Absorption Through the Digestive System 1.Takes place anywhere along the digestive system. 2.Mouth and esophagus are not a major site of absorption. 3.Stomach, where food may remain for about 2 hours, is the site where mechanical digestion occurs and where food is chemically broken down. 4.Most absorption occurs in the small intestine. ** Villi structure is important. 5.Large intestine removes liquid from chyme and forms feces. This region lacks villi and it is not considered a major site for absorption of toxicants.

Small Intestine Villi
