Proteins
Where are most proteins absorbed in the digestive tract?
in the Jejunum
Where are the carbs absorbed in the digestive tract?
the Jejunum
Where in the digestive tract are lipids absorbed?
In the jejunum
What kind of transport do proteins do in order to get into the enterocyte?
Facilitated diffusion
What drives glucose absorbtion?
Sodium Ions
How are lipids absorbed into the enterocyte?
diffusion
What side of an enterocyte to proteins transport through to get into the cell?
the apical side
With facilitated diffusion
What emulsifies lipids into micelles?
biles salts and lipase
What additional enzymes act on proteins in the duodenum?
Proteases, proteolytic, and peptides
What two areas of the body store glucose as glycogen?
the liver and skeletal muscle
Triglyceride and golgi proteins
What path do proteins travel from the jejunum into the liver?
Jejunum, apical side of the enterocyte, basal side of the enterocyte, blood vessel, hepatic portal, and then the liver.
What is the correlation between carb absorption and insulin release?
Insulin is released in the duodenum and is used to help glucose enter cells, and carbs such as glucose enter through the jejunum, which is needed for cells to produce ATP.
They leave the chylomicrons and leave the enterocyte through exocytosis into the lacteal and then into the hepatic portal or systematic capillaries where they enter the cells
