Mechanism - hepatocyte Bile acid reabsorption and resecretion with Bile:
Reabsorbed (from portal blood) with 100% efficiency via Na/BA coport.

BA out of hepatocyte into bile cananiculus via FACILITATED DIFFUSION. Electrolytes follow paracellularly, H20 follows them .... OSMOTIC FILTRATION.
Excess Bile acids in colon result in what?
Diarrhea... because they mess with Na/H20 reabsorption.
Bilirubin glucouride reabsorption:
most of it isn't ... most goes into feces.

Some unconjugated in distal intestine... results in reabsorption into portal circulation.

Some bilirubin taken up by liver, some goes to kidneys and is excreted.

Bilirubin converted to stercolbin and urobilinogen --> yellow color.
How does BA return to liver effect Bile Volume?
It increases Bile volume.
SECRETIN effects on BILE SECRETION
acts like it does with pancreatic duct cells.

causes duct cells to secrete HCO3- ...
Bile Concentration in Gallbladder:

2. Secrete electrolytes (particularly Cl)
3. Proliferative
When are digestion and absorption of nutrients usually complete?
Before they arrive at the ileum.
Most absorption is maximal proximally, and minimal distally... name 2 major exceptions:
1. Bile acids active absorption at distal ileum.
2. B12 active absorption (endocytosis) at distal ileum.
