Digestion in… …the small & large intestines 9.5
Small Intestine about 2.5 cm in diameter up to 7 m in length duodenum: first cm: digestion jejenum: digestion/ absorption ileum: absorption
Pancreas
Carbohydrate Digestion pancreatic amylase is released into duodenum continues breakdown of starch started in the saliva
Pancreatic Secretions fat enters duodenum cholecystokinin (CCK) is released into blood by cells in duodenum CCK causes pancreatic cells to release various substances
pH of Small Intestine chyme has pH of about 2.5 converts prosecretin into secretin, which causes pancreas to release bicarbonate ions (increasing pH to 9.0) pepsin is inactivated, protecting the small intestine
Protein Digestion trypsinogen released by pancreas activated to trypsin by enzyme enterokinase trypsin continues to break down proteins into amino acids
Lipid Digestion bile is produced in liver & stored in gall bladder and released into the duodenum bile breaks down large fat globules lipases secreted by pancreas breat down fats into smaller molecules
Small Intestine - Absorption
Absorption passive transport (including osmosis) facilitated diffusion active transport nutrients are absorbed in capillary networks
Large Intestine up to 7.6 cm in diameter about 1.5 m in length
Large Intestine most of the water is absorbed 500+ species of bacteria produce essential vitamins K and some B. feces are egested through the anus
