ABSORPTION OF FOOD
Absorption from Mouth
Here negligible tobacco, alkohal and some medicines as isoprenailne glycerol tri nitrite is absorbed.
Absorption from Stomach
Here glucose, H2O, alkohal & vit. B12 are absorbed.
Absorption from Intestine
- Villi are helpful. Vilicrinine stimulates it. In villi b.v. & lecteals present.
- Carbohydrate & protein are absorbed by b.v.
- Lipid is absorbed by lecteals, colourless lymph becomes milky due to formation of chilomicrones. It reaches to heart first.
- Carbohydrate & protein reach to liver. Fructose is absorbed by facilitated diffusion.
- Mannose & pentose by passive transport. Glucose & galactose by active transport. H O by osmosis.
- D.A.A. by passive transport. L.A.A. by active transport. Vit. A & D by simple diffusion.
- In columnar cells acids phasphotase enzyme present, shows active process for absorption.
- Water incorporated small dorplets of monoglycerides, fatty acids and glycerols in small intestine are called micelles.
- Fats are absorbed from micelles by facilitated diffusion.
- Fats are absorbed in lymph.
- Protein coated, water soluble fat droplets in lymph are called chylomicrons.
