*end product of pr dig
carbohydrases:
1.maltose -> mixed w/ maltase -> glucose
2.lactose -> mixed w/ lactase -> glucose & galactose
3.sucrose -> mixed w/ sucrase -> glucose & fructose
Small Int: mvmts
1.segmental contractions
2.Peristalsis
Small Int: Segmental Contractions
for mixing chyme in small int; region contracts & stops -> other adjacent regions contract ...
Small Int: Peristalsis
propulsive mvmt of chyme from small int to large int occurring in sequence; moving ring of contractions in spurts/ not constant
Chemical Dig in small int complete, and now:
Absorption
Small Int: Absorption
1.simple sugars, amino acids, 10-20% fatty acids/glycerol/monosacc. --> all absorbed into capillaries of villus (now in blood)
2. 80-90% fatty acids/glycerol/monosacc. enter villus & resynthesized into fat
resynthesized into fat:
fat attaches to pro (fat-pr complex: chylomicrons) -> absorbed into lacteals -> lymphatics -> into blood
Large Int:
gains indigestible wastes from small int: mainly cellulose & bacteria
Large Int: Muscular Mvmts
same exactly as small int: segmentation-> peristalsis -> moving wastes to rectum
Large Int: Water Absorption
along way, absorb water in ascending colon
Large Int: Vitamin Absorption
VitB complex & VitK reabsorbed here
Large Int: Defecation
elimination of solid wastes;
1.contents from sigmoid colon -> rectum & stretch receptors stimulated @ rectum
2.nerve impulses sent to spinal cord & from spinal cord motor impulses sent back to rectum: contraction of smooth musc & relaxation of int anal sphincter
3.abdominal musc contract & put pressure on rectum & poop
