Lecture 67

The Digestive System

§  Functions of the small intestine 

§  Chemical digestion 

§  Nutrient absorption

§  Several substances enter the SI§  Chyme from the stomach

§  Digestive enzymes from the:

§ Liver 

§ Gallbladder 

§ Pancreas

The Digestive System – The Small Intestine

§  Chemical Digestion in the small intestine

§  Many enzymes are secreted into the small

intestine and break down nutrients:

§  Carbohydrates è Monosaccharides

§  Proteins è  Amino Acids

§  Lipids è Monoglycerides and Fatty Acids

The Digestive System – The Small Intestine

§  The Pancreas, Liver and Gallbladder 

assist chemical digestion in the SI.

§  The Pancreas secretes enzymes that break

down carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.

§  The Liver manufactures bile, and stores it inthe gallbladder until needed.

§  Bile aids lipid digestion by emulsifying lipids

(it suspends them in water).

Pancreas

Stomach

SmallIntestine

§  Nutrient absorption in the small intestine

§  The small intestine is covered by villi.

§  The villi are covered by microvilli. 

§  Digested nutrients pass across the microvilli

and enter the blood.
